Dancin' in the Streets
July 13, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

starts with a cool little drum intro then Phil joins followed by the rest, a real treat as an encore Phil is just destroying this version, sweet, sweet bass throughout. 15 minute monster. Nice Donna vocals she seems to be singing lead more than Bobby at times.

Oakland Auditorium

I think you meant to nominate It's All over Now Baby Blue and not Stella Blue as no Stella Blue was played on 12-31-1981 by the grateful dead.

The video of this is priceless. Bruce is amazing on this version giving everything he has. View from the Vault Volume Two.

This is a teriffic version and Brent is an absolute star, Jerry just nails it though. Vocally and musically a true gem right here. Pace is sort of between the two. Slow but not as slow as it would get. Real nice reading of the classic western Garcia tune.
