Standing On The Moon
July 6, 1990
Cardinal Stadium

Welcome aboard cellarblue. Surprised this wasn't already on here!
Dancin' in the Streets
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Wheeeww! What a hot little version! Garcia spanks this.
Playin' In The Band
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Atmospheric, lots of Billy that makes this sound jazzy. The whole band is playing together, and I think Garcia being slightly lower in the mix helps convey that. Very nice version. And, sleuth, don't miss 06-22! There's a killer matrix and the show is a thriller.
Not Fade Away

Gaelic Park

Be advised, Phil bombs destroy the tape itself in the ending portion.
The Other One
Aug. 26, 1971
Gaelic Park

It gets underway and a long way aways quickly. It sounds like they’re exploring the emptier space left around the absence of Mickey’s parts. Some occasional tape problems. Phil lead jam after the verse, which the entire band jumps on quickly. Fragmenting. Slowly breaks down (and Bobby seems to wander in and out of the mix, which is a shame) and then reconstitute itself into the main riff. If you’re reading this, this will probably be your thing and you should listen.
