Nice version. Bob's voice is spent, but Jerry is alive.

Surprised not to see this here. Jerry is playing beautifully and Hornsby adds another dimension. Sparkling.

Great guitar playing.
Jack Straw

Saratoga Performing Arts Center

That said, this version has to have the worst entry into the "Jack Straw from Wichita" finale ever. I'm not sure if Bob and / or Jerry forget the words, or if Bob, Brent, or Jerry fatally miscue the entrance, but it's a tragedy. At one point all three are singing different lyrics. Other than the rest of the song is aces.
