The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw

Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

Feel Like A Stranger
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

As in most of this set, the playing is really hot and really fast. It’s not really a set for subtle communication and expressiveness, but it’s a great one for sweaty, slightly uncoordinated energy. I enjoyed it.
I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

*Joani, sheesh.
Jack Straw
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

*Serious* firepower, vocally as well as instrumentally. Check this out, folks.
Let It Grow
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Very exploratory in parts! I can’t think of many late-’70s versions that are this adventurous.
Estimated Prophet
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

Even by the standards of ’79, this is a *great* Estimated. Enjoy.
