Still brand new. This just pops and crackles with energy. Great fun.

Not for audiophobes, cause it's like 10th-gen Maxell 120s, but every bit the '71 CR&S sound I love. Beneath the fuzz is a beauty.

Tectonic jamming shifting out of WR back into Playin' of intricate interplay and staggering beauty.

Ripped out of future spacetime and unlike any other from the era. Sounds like they invented MIDI right on stage. Minds forever blown, I'm sure.

Not as face-melting as December 02, but has great energy and beautiful jamming.

Great all around show. One of my faves.
The Music Never Stopped

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Bobby and Donna are having so much fun. I'm not one to comment on Donna, but wow, she just sounds great here and adds a lot. (!) Out of sight jam too.

Mershon Auditorium, OSU

I always thought of MLB as the jam that morphed into The Music Never Stopped around the pause in '75, and it's loud and clear here. Nice version, but too short!

Captures the dark cosmic chaos. Emotional, heavy. The forces tear loose from their axis, indeed.
