The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.

Market Square Arena

Part of the Dancin' sandwich. The outro jam isn't as deep as Cobo Hall two nights later, but it's certainly good enough to be listed here

Oakland Coliseum

Good version from an overall great Vince show

"What you got to say, Vince?" Vince says it well, Jerry picks out two great solos, and Bobby's slide solo isn't awful!

Hilarious response by Phil to the "Let Phil sing" chants at the top of this show. "Make Phil sing"?

Dancin' in the Streets
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Audience clapping comes through on the soundboard - how great were the audiences at the Fillmore East? Another great Dancing from '70, with Bobby and Pigpen exhorting the audience to get on their feet.
Its All Over Now
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Well-suited to Brent's skills on the Hammond B-3, this was possibly the first song in the GD repertoire that was reinvented with him in the band. He sounds great here, and Jerry of course rings like a bell during both of his solos.
Not Fade Away
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Unfairly overlooked in a year of outstanding NFA>GDTRFB>NFA performances. The individual and collective musicianship is astonishing.
The Other One
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

responding to the "Keith stealing the spotlight from Jerry" comments: I would suggest that Jerry was instead listening to and engaging directly with Keith's piano playing, as experienced improvising musicians do. Regardless, this TOO is amazing, certainly an interstellar journey.
Sugar Magnolia
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

More "Row Jimmy" riffs from Jerry around the 4:30 mark. This one hits like an 18-guage flooring nail gun with a 6-gallon air compressor that never runs out.
