Dancin' in the Streets
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Jerry has laryngitis, so he speaks with his hands. Starts as a buttsweat dancefest. Long jam that eventually quiets to a whisper before wrapping up

Slow, long version of Baby Blue. Jerry's voice is sweet and the organ adds nice texture

Catholic Youth Center

Phil creates a DEEP pocket pre-Pig rap and he, Jerry, and Bobby emerge as a three-headed monster of groove. Post-rap, Jerry takes over on driving the jam with a hypnotic pattern the rest of the band latches onto. Great jam!

This show is such a treat. Jam has tight staccato style like the clicking of a dial. Chunky goodness

Not a long version by any stretch, but they accomplish a ton in this ~8 min span to kick off a great set and lay down some sweet, interconnected jamming

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

This is my favorite of all the wolves. So crisp and vibrant. This song serves its role as a first set vibe booster in the best possible way. This version is a “glue guy” performance reason why this is an all-time show
