Jack Straw

We can share the women
We can share the wine
Favorite versions?
For me it's Buffalo 11.9.79
The band is still feeding off relatively new Brent's cosmic energy, culminating in a pretty damn good peak.
I think "Jack Straw" ranks pretty high in the Dead canon as it was constantly in the rotation throughout the band's tenure, featured Jerry and Bob trading vocal duties, and IMO had some of Hunter's best lyrics (apparently influenced by Of Mice and Men ). On top of this is the jamming, nothing crazy experimental type II stuff but always solid with a good peak. Quintessential Dead.
What versions do you enjoy?

I know they are popular shows but the Cornell and Veneta shows have great versions of Jack.
It's easily a top 5 Dead song for me.

8-27-72 and 5-17-77 stick out to me but it’s probably because they are official releases i listen to often.

I got into a discussion with a good friend of mine that made the statement... "Jack Straw is the perfect song ever written/played".
We were out drinking listening to music and discussed ad nausea and I must say that I understood what he was trying to say. I'm not sure I agreed, but he made a good case for it.

Obviously never attended a Dead show

I was 8 when Jerry died, so no. Also, I was raised by ABB fam. Sure there are some good shows here and there, but if I'm listening to the dead it's before '79 I can tell you that.

I mean, I get what you're saying and I've listened to most of what you posted. I would still rather tBoys when they were still on psychedelics and having fun on stage. Just my opinion. The setlists are way better and the jams are better on a night in and night out basis.
Maybe you've inspired me to go back and listen to more. I'm definitely a Brent fan. I always get into this argument with ppl shoving 80s and 90s shows at me, but I just can't ever get into them.

I love the song but there is an easy rebuttal to this. If it is such a perfectly written song why did Bob and Jerry have such a hard time not flubbing up the lyrics when they played it?
