This EP is 'just exactly perfect'. Jerry's curlicue soloing over tight ensemble playing in a dramatic rising arc.

Ohio Theatre

Bobby puts on the snarling spiteful chaw and the band is lightning tight. The banter after is fun too.

Quite beautiful and melodic, surprisingly. Perfectly transitions from the outrageous chaos of Caution into the sweet soothing balm of an AWBYG.

The Music Never Stopped

Insane rager. The sound quality is muffled, so this beast should be best heard on headphones. This one might be even more fun than the brilliant one just before this 04/27. They keep taking it higher and higher, stepping up intensity until the crowd sounds like they're in an ecstasy. Spring '77... it really is just that good.

Agreed that this would really benefit from a SBD or matrix. I'm no AUD-phobe and love the warm sense of being there you can get only from the tapers, but hearing that crowd roar at the vocal peaks, hearing the harmonies Donna sneaks in behind Jerry, getting a better mix together for Bobby, or a less compressed sound and this one goes to the very top.

Upvoting Freedomhaul's perfect comment. This is Barlow and Bobby's crowning achievement.
They Love Each Other

Keith has a moment of brilliancy here, exploring his MOOG or whatever rig he was working on at this point in a killer solo. He's working on a steam-powered calliope sound just like a merry-go-round befitting the eye-rolling, tongue-in-cheek story being told in the song. Form... meet content.

Jerry's lyricism and melodic poetry are just on point. Note-by-note his solos here are just exactly perfect. The crowd enthusiasm is palpable and they erupt with joy over this one.
