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.

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.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
July 12, 1976
Orpheum Theater

Killer Supplication here, transition or no. Their superfunk tight, and blisteringly hot. The crowd goes bananas for it. You can hear Phil say something cryptic that sounds like "Steve: Alligator derelicts on Fairfax" before going into Deal, whatever that means.

...if you like them sloooooooooooow.
Playin' In The Band

Auditorium Theatre

The second half, after a gorgeous Wheel, is tighter and more energetic than the first part. Sounds like Jerry and maybe the drummers were signalling for >>The Other One before coming back into PITB, which would have been the first one of '76. Instead, they settle into what might be a unique 12/8 jam over a strong 4/4 pulse (rather than reaching 6/8 TOO feeling) before following Phil out of the splintering shards back to the PITB, complete with a blown speaker. Tremendous musicianship, and a stunning reprise, which must have given the Heads quite a spin.
The Wheel

Auditorium Theatre

A real beaut. After a introspective and floating Playin' jam intro, this wheel coalesces into a dreamscape, like drifting down the highway between sleep and waking life. Yes, the transition back to Playin' is beautiful, too.

First inklings of what the Disco Dead sound will be start about here. This isn't meant to be dismissive. I freakin' love the Disco Dead.
