The Music Never Stopped

Baffling that this isn't here yet. Perfect tight ensemble playing, exhuberence and one idea flowing into another. Great recent C.Miller cleanup too.

Beautifully cleaned up version up now showcases the tight ensemble playing here. Bobby's tone is crystal clear and his fills are a treat to hear.

If you've passed by this show, you're missing out a sweetheart of a Roses here. Check out the new C.Miller clean pane of glass in the window.

Might As Well

New C.Miller cleanup (10/17) brings in the love. Brilliant show opener with everything '76 has to offer: Hot mellow, lyricisms, and DJG at her best.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

So many brilliant ones, but you're missing a real treat if you count this one out. Particularly strong Franklin's but the Slipknot! is brilliant too.

Turn On Your Love Light
Aug. 15, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

Right about the 10 minute mark this goes into some deep funk straight out of the era: Buddy Miles-ish type stuff. The funk influence on the Dead can be overlooked, but it's certainly there. Plus for a few short seconds right at the end it sounds like they almost went into a Caution jam. Hot stuff.

The boys are in perfect form here. TOO's with Phil high in the mix have that added intensity, and the whole saga: Trucking>TOO>MAMU>TOO>Wharf Rat is just full-force Philzone madness. Beautiful spaced-out jam in the middle too. Great recording allows us to hear every piece separately, with the rare fine Bobby jam segment before MAMU particularly nice.

Hot damn, its lickety-split and turns on dime after dime. What a fun song this must be to play so well.

Wow. This one goes everywhere. Prepare yourself to be blown into individual atoms, then reassembled from the electromagnetic cloud into a slightly older, wiser, and maybe just a little freaked-out version of your "self". Not a first-time-dosing kinda version, okay? You've been warned, now go at it. Oh, and as stated above, the jam is full of wonderful beauties. Enjoy.

Great pure version, as good as they come. A lot of subtlety to Jer's voice here and throughout the show.
