Dancin' in the Streets
Feb. 27, 1970
Family Dog at the Great Highway

Great under the radar version here. The jam is in A Mixolydian, which is why it takes on some elements of a Dark Star jam (Wharf Rat is also played in A mixolydian..)
It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

I think Jerry’s rough vocals really add a nice emotional touch to this version, and his lead playing and tone here are superb..
