The Music Never Stopped

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Bobby and Donna provide mellow background vocals to the opening jam, then everyone sets the dial to '11' in a great peak jam!

Super extended China Cat! SBD cuts out hard in a few places, but the awesomeness of this version simply cannot be stopped

Terrapin Station

Swing Auditorium

Sure, this is knocked WAY out of the park on it's first play. It's beautiful, flowing, and note perfect. And it was a historically bold move to open a show/tour/usher in a tremendous year with a brand new multi-faceted song like this. However, this being rated as highly as it is, to me, makes no sense at all. Landover and Knick Spring '90 anyone? To me, it it's not even close. No offense to this, it is lovely beyond words, it just hasn't developed enough like some of the latter iterations.

I really dug this 30 days installment. Great Jerry/Bobby/Brent interplay. Boys threw down nice Bird Songs in Hartford

If this doesn't have you smiling ear to ear at the Hey Jude peak, hold a mirror to your mouth to make sure you are still breathing, because you may be clinically dead.

Super energetic, crisp, and dextrous handling from Jerry. How you start a New Years show with a BANG

Super strong, early version - driving drum beat. Jerry crisp on the vocals
