The Music Never Stopped
June 11, 1976
Boston Music Hall

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

Brown Eyed Women

Boston Music Hall

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.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Boston Music Hall

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

Boston Music Hall

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

Boston Music Hall

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.

Cumberland Blues
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Uptempo version highlighting '74 Rock Goddom, while nailing that jug-band vibe, like only the Dead knew how: Shitkickin'ly upcountry bluegrass mountain music rockin' and rollin' the Wall of Sound.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Civic Center

Really nice description! It's loose and fun and rocking. Really cool to hear Bobby crack up at (presumably) some of the insane noises coming out of Jerry's guitar, too.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Top notch tight harmonies on Rider and a sweet up-tempo. Deserves its fame. (Years later) I'm revisiting this, and undoubtedly it stands head-and-shoulders above so many others. Just exactly perfect.
Mind Left Body Jam
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

This is an incredible jam, no doubt, and it goes into a brilliant US Blues jam. That said, for MLB melodicism and sweetness, I still would choose to listen to 02.12.73 first.
To Lay Me Down
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Sublime and powerful. Moves along steadily and smoothly with perfect harmonies from Donna.
