Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 17, 1970
The Matrix

Questionable date, but unquestionably amazing. A great classic jam with a near-perfect recording for the time. A++

Morning Dew

Club Agora

Rough AUD, but showcases a brilliant and intense buildup enhanced by what sounds like a Hammond B3. Deserves a cleanup, as much of 11.70 does.

The Palestra, U. of Rochester

Beautiful jam here, with some great Jerry fuzztone soloing.

Nice warm AUD for the era, with a sparkling CCS and great transition into IKYR.

Whether it's the 16th or the 23rd, it's a real humdinger. Perfect transition out of Truckin'.

Truckin'

The pace, throb, and intensity alone puts this in a special category. Add the rocking fills that Jer puts behind the driving (truck in') rhythm, the tires whapping pavement sense, and that killerdiller solo mentioned above and hell yeah, this is world class stuff. Ignore at your own peril.
Turn On Your Love Light

Fillmore West

Hey Okozmic! Welcome to the site, but really? '74? No Help-Slip-Frank? No Estimated Prophet? No Cassidy or The Wheel? I'm as curmudgeonly an old '70s head as they make 'em, but even I've been known to enjoy a Shakedown Street or a - gasp! - Terrapin Station now and again.... Cheers!
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Wow. In addition to the subtle and heartfelt interpretation of the lyrics, which I've always felt were some of Dylan's best, Jerry rips a killer solo toward the end (07:54). Great great show.

Garage band extraordinaire. Good old rock and roll.
