One of my favorite tunes. I'll take a '77 Straw over any other year. It really evokes images out west on the road with Shannon and "Jack Straw". You can never go wrong with a classic '72 version either with the bouncy rhythmic solos. Oh yeah by the way if you have read the book, the lyrics of Jack Straw go just about hand in hand with Of Mice and Men.
The next night's opener of Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower is sonically sublime.
Thanks and Peace!

I wish to lie where a mother's prayer
And a sister's tear will mingle there.
Where friends can come and weep o'er me.
O bury me not on the lone prairie."

I was only six years old in '77 but caught up w the boys in '88

Yea sometimes i actually like it if the timing's right and it isn't too pervasive... it can give a particular version character.
I love the Bertha from that 5/7/77 Boston show and there's a part with a loud, sharp feedback sound from the speakers and you can hear Jerry laughingly shout out Whooooooooooooooohhh and Donna laugh, and so on...
I know it is almost cliche by now but i really love May 77, more than any other single month probably. It is so popular for a reason IMO

@bobshenix As you say, who's to say. Boston was fraught with technical problems although a patient deadhead could easily overlook these.
Got anything from lafayette college in PA around 78 or later? One of the greatest shows I ever saw. Love your posts man.

@thegunnydog - i haven't uploaded anything but if you do a google search for "Lafayette College 1979-05-07 live archive" you can download a pretty good quality audience recording of the show.
