The Music Never Stopped

Boston Music Hall

Baffling that this isn't here yet. Perfect tight ensemble playing, exhuberence and one idea flowing into another. Great recent C.Miller cleanup too.

Beautifully cleaned up version up now showcases the tight ensemble playing here. Bobby's tone is crystal clear and his fills are a treat to hear.

If you've passed by this show, you're missing out a sweetheart of a Roses here. Check out the new C.Miller clean pane of glass in the window.

Might As Well

Boston Music Hall

New C.Miller cleanup (10/17) brings in the love. Brilliant show opener with everything '76 has to offer: Hot mellow, lyricisms, and DJG at her best.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Boston Music Hall

So many brilliant ones, but you're missing a real treat if you count this one out. Particularly strong Franklin's but the Slipknot! is brilliant too.

Beautiful harmonies on the vocal here. Nice and tight energy.
Playin' In The Band

Theatre Hall

I think lining up the Playin's from '71 until the hiatus is a good a study as any into how the band kept evolving. E72 is one of my favorite eras from it too, and this one doesn't disappoint. Nosiree: It starts off a bit mellow and then builds a good head of steam. By minute six or so it's got the force of a rocket. Good pick.

Way solid: One of those building and building versions that comes to a huge climax with everyone hitting it at once. Bravo.

Lille Fairgrounds

Keith, Billy, and Phil are in perfect synchronous mindmeld underneath Jer's note-for-note masterwork.
The Other One
May 13, 1972
Lille Fairgrounds

This one left some scars in Lille: At times it's like the mother of all freak-outs by that friend who some friend brought and who had no business eating all that chemistry. Then spontaneously it's the soundtrack to another f'in movie and you're watching your own mind from another one, T h e O t h e r O n e to be precise. There's a hint of Spanish to it for a bit, but man they just went completely off the chain here. The whole show is a pleasure, not a false step anywhere.
