Unique section after the gospel singing. Great transition to TOO

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.

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

Mind Left Body Jam
Sept. 6, 1979
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 hadn't heard it. I haven't heard another one like it. Sound quality is passable, but I wouldn't mind hearing this one a bit clearer. I've followed Sharleena's advice for years now and I've never been let down.
Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum
The new JGB release has some filler tracks from 6/1/81 and there is a Deal that is related to this one. It’s not as great as 5/1, but you will recognize the tone and an aggressiveness that it shares. I know that JGB Deal from 89-91 is highly esteemed and these two Deals, along with 11/30/80 are where it all began. I do not think that 5/1 can be beat and I love Deal in different eras and with different personnel. There is no outro solo prior to September 1980 and that makes it difficult to compare those two eras but the shredding started here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 3, 1982
The Scope
This one is great for this time of year. The Seaweed soundboard makes the whole version sound great but the transition is really where this version shines. It's one idea after another and in that respect it is like a sonic springtime bursting forth

That’s fantastic
Attics of My Life

Orpheum Theatre
I wish there were more of this song from this era, but this is it. Others may have strong feelings about this, but for me the song never sounds better than it does during this ‘76 rehearsal, even the album.
