The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.

Market Square Arena

Part of the Dancin' sandwich. The outro jam isn't as deep as Cobo Hall two nights later, but it's certainly good enough to be listed here

Good version from an overall great Vince show

"What you got to say, Vince?" Vince says it well, Jerry picks out two great solos, and Bobby's slide solo isn't awful!

Frost Amphitheatre

Hilarious response by Phil to the "Let Phil sing" chants at the top of this show. "Make Phil sing"?

loose and playful
Deal

Hampton Coliseum

Jerry's feedback whistle at around 6:15, bringing this freight train into the station. Outstanding performance.
Dancin' in the Streets
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Audience clapping comes through on the soundboard - how great were the audiences at the Fillmore East? Another great Dancing from '70, with Bobby and Pigpen exhorting the audience to get on their feet.
Its All Over Now
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Well-suited to Brent's skills on the Hammond B-3, this was possibly the first song in the GD repertoire that was reinvented with him in the band. He sounds great here, and Jerry of course rings like a bell during both of his solos.
Not Fade Away
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Unfairly overlooked in a year of outstanding NFA>GDTRFB>NFA performances. The individual and collective musicianship is astonishing.
