A notably speedy version. "Bobby your rushin'!" Great solo by Jerry though

The Music Never Stopped

This version starts off tentative and Bob forgets most of the lyrics. You're thinking "Yeesh, this version is going to be a mess." Then the midsection jam starts. Great recovery but this version still lacks the steller Jerry peaks that the top notch versions have.

They pack a lot into a jam that is a little less than 10 minutes. Love this dreamy version.

I love the build up in this version.
Foolish Heart

Nassau Coliseum

Vince overpowers Jerry's vocals on the SBD, but this version has a nice flow otherwise. Jerry and Vince play well together here.

Interesting "Space" like jam before the segue into Foolish Heart.
