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

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

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.

Great transition from CC too. There are a slight tuning issues though, though it's hard to hear on my system whether it comes from a slight tape wobble, or if both Bobby and Jerry have pulled flat in their upper registers.

I'd take the Charlie Miller remix over the link on this one. Seems a bit richer, less tinny. As for the music. Ohhhhhh, yes, this is the love. Reading the comments here, I'd say one thing overlooked is just how brilliantly Phil drives this from below throughout. That said, I like the Oct. 9th more for inventiveness and extended jams. Nothin' quite like that monster sound from '74, though.

Should be much higher on the list. Bobby's at his most primal, Jerry soloing at a million miles per hour, and the whole band rising up to the explosive climax. Hot stuff.

RoR rarely rates by me, but this one stands out for its extra oomph and brilliant vocals. This whole show/run is tremendous.
