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.

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.

Dark Star

Never hits that level of wicked psychotic meltdown like some of the massive stars, but has some of the sweetest most melodic spontaneous composition they ever did. Oh and the glorious jam transitioning into Sugar Mag followed by a furiously heavy Caution make this every bit worth the praise.

Trouble groking this song? Check this one out and get it once and for all.

This one is a nice long ride. They take their time, but get you there alright. Understated, but brilliant and coherent - up there with the best of them.

Great version with cool, almost punk rock energy to it. Set lists.net and the box set have this going into 'Next time You See Me', not 'Sitting on top of the world'. What gives?

Sounds great up-tempo. To my ears it's better as a country crooner than as a slow ballad.
