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.

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.

Eyes Of The World
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Any doubt at the time that Mickey coming back was for the good must have quickly evaporated. The Devils just kill it here with their incredible energy and groupmind. Great solos, my favorite Eyes from '76.

Comes up from the side and pulls you out of your body up somewhere near those cloud hands he's singing about. One of the Dead's greatest compositions played here to beautiful effect.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Magnificent musicality throughout. Jerry and Keith at about 11:00 go into some wild modal extraterritoriality. It does exactly what I loved about PITB as a 1st set closer, transforming the show from a set of (great) songs into the long, the strange, and the beautiful.

Winterland Arena

Really really beautiful. Who's that on the smokey backup vocals?
Terrapin Station

Memorial Coliseum

Matter of taste, but this one never fully lifts off for me. Much prefer 22 Jan. '78 for serious face meltage.
