The Music Never Stopped

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

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.

Really lifts off and sends you out there. Beautiful exploratory jams before the first chorus and leading into MAMU.

cgarces is right about this one. This is as solid rockin' a heady version as any. Sounds to me like it has Pig on organ and Keith on keys, which is a rare treat indeed.
Playin' In The Band

This and the one from the previous night are key transitional Playin's that show the crack in the door to the spacetime bender that it becomes throughout '72. They're both worth more than one spin, and though I think the 25th is a bit more coherent, this one has the openness and freedom that we come to associate with Playin' ever after and is probably my favorite of the two.

This is how this song should have always been played: With Jer on luscious pedal steel and Phil on beautifully harmonic backup vocals.

Gritty and soulful version. Check out Charlie Miller's cleanup for a great sound, with everyone clear and crisp in the mix.
