Small Club in North SF

Previous unheard recording of Phil bombing a small club in SF for around 8 minutes. More than worth a listen!

Nice funky R&C. Also happens to be the last JGB show w/ Keith & Donna. Love Jer’s vox(especially “I’ve been afraid and I don’t know why I do). Heady!

Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

This Dancin’ is incredible. The extended vocal jam before the monster jam is great. The jam is where it’s at though. Jerry is possessed and goes crazy with the solo. The rest of the band is great too. Phil and Keith know what’s up! Listen to the Dire Wolf after this too. Hell, listen to the whole show!!

Really wish they’d play this one more. A Brent version would be top shelf! This version is great. The horn intro sounds like the album version!

Really really love this version. The jam from Drums that goes into it is fun, and Jerry’s vocals are great for ‘86. The jamming on this is amazing, and someone from Neville Brothers(don’t know who it is) takes a few verses in the middle. Great version!
