Uptown Theatre

Unique section after the gospel singing. Great transition to TOO

Capital Centre

The debut, as an encore - raw, lyrics askew, fun times

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 21, 1978
The Summit

A speedy rendition on a single extant AUD from what is IMO the golden age of TMNS. Good for 77-Feb79, but compares favorably to any MNS thereafter.

Greek Theater

This one cooks. It’s the third one since 74, but it’s all so fluid.

Mind Left Body Jam

Madison Square Garden

The transition between NFA and Stella is about a minute of MLB. Not the best, but a unique transition and tease for 1979.

I'm surprised this hadn't been posted yet. The teases are unique and while this isn't some '69 DS, it's cool in its own right.
Friend of the Devil

Civic Auditorium

Very nice. Bob takes a rare solo in between Brent and Jerry.

I think this is top 10 and the video certainly helps to make that case. It's hard to watch the second solo and say otherwise. If, on the other hand, videos existed of, say 12/28/79 and a bunch of others, we would have a different landscape to be sure.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

I like the matrix for this one. The reverb of the AUD makes the dreamy intro even dreamier.

Filthy. I don’t hear fotm or franklins. I just hear the good stuff.
