The Music Never Stopped
June 11, 1976
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.

Brown Eyed Women

Boston Music Hall

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.

It Must Have Been The Roses

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.

Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

Jerry's tone and ideas - he chordal jamming as opposed to his single-note lines - remind me of the work that he did with Jefferson Airplane at right about this time while recording Surrealistic Pillow. Plus, and it's a big plus, this jam goes into a whole different place from the others of the time. For a bit it's a whirling Dervish or Algerian Nouba sound before Bobby cuts back in with the vocals, then a four-on-the-floor outro. Great stuff.
Viola Lee Blues
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

Definitely shows the progress they were making towards the Anthem era of deep deep psychedelic group-mind.
Cold Rain and Snow
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

The dates may be dubious, but the playing isn't. This rocks. Check out Phil throwing bombs, way back in '66.
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Nov. 29, 1966
The Matrix

Pretty much a pimp anthem at this point. This one is dirty... and an amazing statement from '66 about where they'd go with Pig in the lead for the next five years.
Early Morning Rain

The Matrix

Ultra-rarity and so much fun. What a treat.
