Stunning version. Sung with lots of passion, and during the solo, Jerry lets Wolf run loose and lets her howl. Great version from a great show!

Dancin' in the Streets

Barton Hall - Cornell University

I remember going on a trip to Dallas and as I was getting picked up, this was the first song I heard in the car. Afterwards they fired up Dark Star>El Paso 8/27/72. To this day, this Dancin’ has a special place in my heart because it was one of those jams that opened up my eyes to what the Dead could really do. Happy anniversary Cornell

Perfect. One of my favorites that's right up there with 4/24/72 for when I'm craving a MAMU sandwich.

Jerry's phrasing is SUBLIME. Like shooting stars across the sky. Long and lengthy can really be fun especially with this band, but sometimes the more dense jams pack in a lot more in many different and subtle ways. Gets deep and dark before MAMU. Ghastly and spacey. Jerry's literally wailing on the guitar. Love the Macabre vibe this has. Love that one of the audience members ask something a long of the lines of "what song are they doing?" during the spacey sections. One of many ground zeroes for the band to explore more territories in. WRS dances all along the re entry from MAMU. Stunning and dark. Infatuating version.

DAYUM. Jerry the Ripper just chopping heads off near the end there. No Mercy going into the Other One. Fascinating. Also What a drums segment! Do not miss out on that.
