These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

“It’s polka time!” Shouts Bobby at the beginning of this one! Honored to submit this one. Absolute rager from an underrated show.

Stunning organ parts that take the song to a different level. Feels like I'm going down a lazy river without a care in the world.

This is pretty bonkers not gonna lie, stellar version that cools you off after that deep and dark The Other One while still making you feel like you’re walking the tightrope. Love love love this version and how light yet heavy it can be. Don’t wanna be that guy but don’t listen to Nog. Let your ears decide! Love to all

Really should be higher, I’m not even that much of an estimated fan but this version is really heartfelt, great energy here!

Yeah this is it, check it out folks you won’t regret it. I’ll let the music speak for itself.
Dancin' in the Streets

Memorial Auditorium

Brent really gives new life to the band and this performance is a perfect example of this. One of my personal non 77 performances of this tune. Stellar keyboard playing that’s something out of a sci fi sequence and then you have Jerry turning into a intergalactic cyborg with incredible dance chops. Great dancin!
