The Music Never Stopped

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

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.

Playin' In The Band
June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

Just cruising around nicely until about 15:00 and then they hit the warp drive and it just goes everywhere. Great '74 sound. Good, show maybe a bit underated.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Rambler Room

First time played by the Dead, 9 years before it went into regular rotation. Was Jerry already playing this in solo gigs?

Very beautiful ensemble playing.
Playin' In The Band

Stanley Theater

Deeply weird meltdown coming out of a deceptively light and intricate jam. Real bugs under the skin and voices in the head carpet crawling towards the end.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Fox Theatre

Read about this in a New Yorker article about tapers. "Deadhead" by Nick Paumgarten in the 26.11.2012 edition. Thanks Nick, if you're lurking here, it's a beauty, and you pulled me into the 80s for a nice minute. Had this tape too and always found it... mystical. Great fun.
