Jerry screws up the lyrics on Lady With a Fan, but overall this is a pretty good version. The outro jam is pretty unique also.

From GarciaLive 1. Very funky with very good vocals from Jerry. Give it a listen!

Not a very special version, but has some good vocals. Not too rushed either.

It was very rare for the Dead to play a slow River in the 80s, but this is almost ‘74 speed! Love it!

Great version of Day Job coming out of the quintessential Hell in a Bucket. This song has an early Beatles vibe that I really dig.

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!
