Live 14 Aug 1970 version
Calling out around the world, are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the street
???
Oh and San Francisco
???
Brothers and sisters throughout the world, I want you all to stand
The time has come, see the time has come, I wanna see you dance
Up in New York City
And down in old Virginny
Philadelphia PA
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
Swinging, swaying, the records playing
It's a dance that you just can't
Haw!
Oh no matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
Every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
Oh!
Calling out around the world, are you ready for some brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is just right for dancing in the street
Well up in New York City
Down in old Virginny
Philadelphia PA
All we need is music, sweet music
??? everywhere
Swinging, swaying, the records playing
It's a dance that you just can't
Haw!
Oh no matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
Every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
???
???
Oh oh out in the street
The above lyrics are for the live 14 Aug 1970 performance of DANCING IN THE STREET at 7th And Marshall Street parking deck in Richmond, VA.
This was a triple-bill show, with blues band Marlo Mays & The Stingers opening, Mercy Flight performing second, and Steel Mill headlining and closing. The show was held under the stars on the upper deck of the parking complex and the general concept was modeled after The Beatles' memorable rooftop performance in the film Let It Be which was in theatres at the time. Incomplete audience and soundboard recordings are in circulation among collectors. Combined together, the different sources total to 110 minutes. There is a 2-4 song segment of the show that has never circulated on any source.
Some of the above info is taken from Brucebase.
