The Music Never Stopped

Really short, but very tight. Jerry ends with a cascading riff that sounds like spotaneous composition. Anyone know if they played this jam again?

A subtle beauty. Just a bit of swagger, just a bit of grit, lots of fine singing, and an acqueous solo for the ages.

Scorchin' hot barnburner here. The Rhythm Devils push this one ever hotter. Bobby and Donna sound perfect together.

Superb version, surprising not listed yet. Tighter to my ears than the other more well-known ones in the Boston run. Check it out!

MORE COWBELL! (And some very tight, blistering rock, sweet ensemble vocals, and good times for everyone after a great great show.)

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 27, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

This suite cooks from the first notes. The Slipknot is the stuff of legend, and the Keith-Jerry interaction in Franklin's is just brilliant. Just when you think the energy is petering out Keith heats it back up. The whole thing feels like a pot of water simmering just under the boil: Thousands of happy little bubbles just ready to go.

Headiest or not, this cooks. Right around three minutes in you can hear them shift gears and flip into overdrive.

Ignore the haters. Donna sounds super sweet on this uptempo and funky standalone. Listen to the Charlie Miller (as always) if you don't believe me.

Beautiful harmonies, powerful ensemble playing, and a great crisp sound make this one a keeper. Comes out of a killer LIG too.

Thanks for bringing this immortal show back up. The Lee / Miller AUD is brilliant. Check out how Billy feeds Phil during his solo. God, '74 was a monster year full of peak Dead.
