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.

Massive electric pychedelia at its most heady.

Tight and energetic. Must I've got to admit a very strong preference for the Stephen's of this era over any other. Plus Bob can be heard saying "the funniest thing I've ever heard" right after "one man gathers what another man spills", to general merriment.

Massive early version (just 15 minutes). Check out the new C. Miller for great cleanup work.

The Pig's Hammond is all over this one.
Playin' In The Band
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Playin' ('72 forward) is one indicator for me of how much collective energy the boys had for exploration. That's what makes the earliest versions of the song so interesting - when it was just a song and not a ticket to Mars and back. Here Bobby sings like his life depended on it. Very cool.
