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.

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.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Gorgeous. This one is much tighter and coherent than the only other version of the era played just three days earlier. This is a sublime interpretation.

Can't really call this a TOO, as they never quite make it into the melody or lyrics. They do jam the ever-living fuck out of it though, which is awesome.

Cucamonga007: Just saw that you recommended this to me, and man oh man, thanks brother. It blazes and soars, no matter what DonnieMT has to say and kvetch about it. The musical confidence they bring to Bird Song at this stage in its development is unworldly. Consider that they're going to drop it from rotation a year later. What did they finish with it? This is a "clean" version, like the one on 26.09.72 that you've really got to check out if you want to discover an unknown gem that shouldn't be, rather than a Dark Starish sprawler. In any case, thanks again, man.

Fer G*d's sake, Heads: Listen to this now!

Jerry's solo is like a high-voltage cable cut loose and flailing wildly, arcing and dancing on the edge of crazy.
