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.

Hard swinging rocker. Bobby and Phil are really in sync pumping on the gas here.

Damned good, this one. Plus Bobby introduces it with instructions to get ready for the "pirate recorders". It's thanks to this revolutionary attitude that we have so much of this music.

Note for note elegance.
Wharf Rat

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Approaches the power and arc of the greatest Wharf Rats, and deserves to be near the top. Rivals Summer '74 for beauty, coherence, and sheer emotive power.

Needs love here: Going chronologically I've realized how experimental they were with TOO since Keith joined, especially in Nov/Dec. Not only are there examples of great meltdown freejazz spacebug weirdness, but the fact that they're mixing it up with Bobby McGee, or El Paso, or even Mexicali (04.12) means that they caught a whole new nexus for this in the new setup. 06.12 is also remarkable because they sandwich McGee before the first chorus, then go into the main jam. Call this one a Dark Star if you want. It's that dialed in.
