The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre
This is beautifully recorded, though Bob's lyrics are very low in the mix for the first few lines. The backing lyrics suffer a little early on from Jerry's voice being more audible than Donna's. But the fact that despite those flaws, this version is still THE BEST should tell you how powerful it is. It beats 05/09 because not only is Jerry's solo equally good, it doesn't suffer from that unfortunate AUD fade halfway through. The drums near the end turn monstrous for a few seconds, too. Phenomenally heady.
