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.

Bobby's really clear on the Miller mix, and it's excellent. Too many shows from '72 have him way way too far back in the sound. This is closer to what I remember it being like live.

Get some headphones for this, and marvel at just what Keith was capable of when he was at his best. This whole set is packed with underappreciated gems like this one: The band is in total mind-meld, while Keith is just spectacular throughout.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Transition to Rider rev's up and is just about to overheat when they pull it way back and start singing quite sweetly. Nice touch - but an awful cut in my version.

The first NFA has its moments and is worth a vote, but stick around for the lickety-split GDTRFB (seems like it's accelerating!) and Jerry lets you know just how much water he's got left in the well. The outro then picks up the energy and they close out on a blistering jam. Great stuff.

A real beaut with a perfect fade-out, ending a great 2nd hour-long jam.
