No one writes them like this anymore. "Everybody's dancing!" One of The Dead's most fun songs, it really spoke to the audience. And of course Jerry's guitar work is stellar. Always a favorite, whether in the 70's, 80's or 90's. Donna was the Queen of this song, but later versions were pretty damn good too. Thanks Mike and Craig and Happy New Year to Everybody who's dancing!!!
I have so much enjoyed over months and months watching you become acquainted with this music. Sort of like taking apart an onion, one layer at a time. ...and isn't it incredible how each song has something different maybe
Agreed, but….you have to listen to some of the mid-80s versions (the latest Dave’s Picks from Palo Alto ‘85 is a good one). The 2015 Fare Thee Well version is pretty hot for post -Jerry versions.

Not to mention " They're a band beyond description ".
You are always on point Bob!
Believe it or not, this song almost exactly describes my first GD concert. I swear, all that stuff actually happened just like in the song.
Mike is right. This version is up in the top 3 and the other 2 are from 77 and 78
This is my favorite version of this and the scarlet/fire on DP 18 is top notch!!! The whole show is incredible!
They're a band beyond description!
Thanks Craig! That was great!
Thanks Mike, great choice!

They lived this, didn't they? Rip Pigpen, Keith, Brent and Jerry!
Hottest versions are 4-24-78 Normal, IL and 5-9-77 Buffalo, NY......BURNERS
Shout out for that Normal, IL version! 🔥🔥🔥
Tear it up Jerry!!!
This whole release, like all the Dick’s Picks, is highly recommended as a whole.
Nice!
This is in the #1 TMNS of all time. Like Jehovah's favourite choir.
Yeah man!!! Happy New Year !!!!!! Thanks for doing you! Good times!
Rippin’ version!
Best version because of Donna. Not the same after she left the band.
after the hiatus, 76-early 79 she was great.
