Like many, I find those early, Spring 77, Jack-A-Roes to be crazy beautiful.
And, as an aside, my favorite post Keith version is 12-3-79 (DaP 31 - my second show). Beautiful longer intro hearkening back to the '77 versions, Bobby's guitar on that intro is deeply cool, and the Jerry solo mid song is absolutely exquisite - a shining jewel.
Which leads me to the primary reason for this post - there is a very very very cool studio outtake of Jack-A-Roe from the Go To Heaven sessions that I only recently learned of. It was released on the Beyond Description box (which I don't own alas) so this is old news to many of you. I recently heard it a couple of times on GD Channel on Sirius (co-worker's subscription so while on work, second time just yesterday). And the first time I heard it I was like OMFG what is this magic?! Its uploaded on utoob to the Grateful Dead channel as part of the complete Studio Rarities Collection. Track was laid down 7/14/79 so just missed the anniversary.
