The Music Never Stopped
March 13, 1981
Utica Coliseum
I like this version, but I'm on an MNS bender right now and I would probably put this in top 25-50 range, to get all real about it. The lyrics are well done (a vocal flub at the beginning of one verse is reversed at the beginning of the next - sun honey / cool breeze Tuesday - and that's a nice touch). But the midsection, spacey and fevered, is yet played elsewhere with more focus and direction and the outro certainly gets shredded harder. I'd still rather listen to this than do a million other things though.
