This FotD is a beauty. The vocals are sweet, and the solos flow like butter; just amazing.

This was soundchecked at a show sometime in ‘88; this date may not be accurate. Look for the “GD Home Movies” video on YouTube from LoloYodel

Opening for JGB w/ Rob Wasserman. Very good acoustic version with great vocals from Bob.

This is probably the best one I’ve heard JGB do. Jerry’s vocals are superb, almost 78 like. The jam in the middle is essential.

Not played since the Warfield/RCMH run, and it shows a little, but overall it’s still pretty good

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!

Listening to this as I write this comment. The intro the freaking me out in the best way possible. Nice one Healy!

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!
