Really on performance, this is a real animated performance, Vince is shinning, Jerry even throws in some sweet backing vocals.

Proving they could still bring some fire even in 1995 this is a growling hot smoking opener. Bobby is possessed and Jerry lays down some nice runs.

The feed off the energy of the touch heads as this song was at its zenith this summer. High voltage run through

ANother fun one with Phil having a good time even though it stays very close to the Dylan original.

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.
Friend of the Devil

New Haven Coliseum

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.
