The Music Never Stopped
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Bob blows some lyrics, but the midsection and outro are fluent and soaring. Lot on the list not as good as this one.

Radio City Music Hall

Honorable mention on the old dead clubhouse page, but not on here. There's a youtube video with great sound. See for yourself.

Melkweg

A unique sounding Cassidy. Parts of this almost sound like a studio release of a different band playing like the dead.

MSG Scarlet Fire from the Fall of '82 - great transition.

This is great with a sweet solo.

Somebody we all know gets into the solo and starts forgetting where he is in the song and making it longer and more awesome.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

I don’t have much to add to what grendel says. The Fire is loud, clear, confident and I also prefer the matrix to the sbd which lacks the warmth that you get with the matrix without sacrificing clarity. An all time Fire.

This one is for real. Great solos, bob on slide is doable, and I would check any other boxes too
Crazy Fingers

Richmond Coliseum

Jerry’s playing is sharp and clear, and he is clearly into it. This one is going to stick with me for a while.
