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.

Good Lovin'
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

A slow simmering exploration. The whole first set seems set on "medium", like they were warming up slow in order to go long or something. It doesn't drag, but it doesn't really sizzle either.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Dillon Stadium

Damn right. This just bursts out of the gate with its skullfuckin' grin, tips its hat and sez: "stick around folks". A brilliant first-timer for this classic. Pity about the cut in the outro, though.

Hollywood Bowl

Everything said here is true. This is a beautiful artifact.
The Other One

Will cause brain blisters if not careful. This isn't going to convince any GD doubters out there, but daaaahm does it go off into schizoid madness at one point.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Tape speed differences on the Archive: I think the Wagner/Minches one probably the most accurate, but the Knight, et al. version has clearer sound. In any case, this is an electrifying and sparkling kick-in-the-pants version worth several repeats.
