The Saint is the real gem here. The build up right before the 'sure don't know..' verse is insane!

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..)

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