one of the best peggy o's ever! jerry sings it slow and sweet and his guitar solo goes on and on!
the other one is truly a "pile driver" version that cooks big time!!

Just listened to the show. Jack Straw has some extremely intense guitar playing, great jamming right up to the end and just when you think you've heard the best Jack Straw ever, they (mostly Bobby) fucks up at the end and starts the verse to earlier to "Jack Straw from Witchata cut his buddy down".
Man, what a heartbreaker. Otherwise all the other comments are right on.

DITTO on the JACK STRAW!
As someone who is from Wichita, I LOVE the killer versions (don't we all!) and this one is a KILLER VERSION! The best....no way, but Jerry is NOODLIN all over, I won't mention Bobby's fuck up...
PEACE!

-Stagger lee (07/07/2009)


just replaced my moldy old cassette w/ a fresh sb download just because i remembered the jack straw. off the friggin charts. might be the best. also check out the following deal, jerry's solos over the choruses might be his best on that tune as well. awesome show.

HAHAHA, "Used to play for Acid, now we play for Clive". This is why i love them, they will do subtle shit like that, intentional or not, and it just makes a huge roar come out of the crowd.

I was there.
From Sweden.
On acid.
My first Dead show.
My ooohhhh my

Have to agree on Jack Straw - an A++++ version. And then right into a spirited Deal.

And Peggy O really shows Jerry's strength as a vocalist. Pigpen could bring his bluesy vocals to some great songs but Garcia was able to elevate songs like Stella or Peggy O like no one else.

The deal has a solid 25 cycle refrain at the end before jerry belts out a solid "oh no"

-Anonymous (03/21/2017)


solid sugaree...awesome guitar interplay between bob and jer!
-TTT (02/13/2021)

DSO played the heck out of this show last night at the relatively new Brown County Music Center. DSO and the crowd were into it big time! Stunning show!!
