The Music Never Stopped
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Bob blows some lyrics, but the midsection and outro are fluent and soaring. Lot on the list not as good as this one.

Excellent rendition with available A video and sound on youtube through music vault.

The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 29, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

Honorable mention on the old dead clubhouse page, but not on here. There's a youtube video with great sound. See for yourself.

Cassidy
Oct. 16, 1981
Melkweg

A unique sounding Cassidy. Parts of this almost sound like a studio release of a different band playing like the dead.

Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

MSG Scarlet Fire from the Fall of '82 - great transition.

Scarlet Begonias
Feb. 27, 1977
Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara

Then vote for it, Batman. This one has had 5 votes for a year. I guess no one listens to this one because it's an A- AUD and the previous night's SBD gets all the attention.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

I looked on setlist this AM and this was the only halfstep I could find that was ever played in Mississippi.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

This one is beautiful - nice call. I know those '78 Jeds from TN, but I'm delighted to find this Halfstep from MS from the same year. Keith and Jerry play along with one another well during the Rio Grandeo sections.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

This supplication is smoked. It shuffled up at the beginning of a run today and I got all fired up. I don't see how it can be played any much harder than this. I know that there are dozens of great ones out there - for the life of the pair and even some nice supplications post coma - but this one belongs at or near the top.
Positively 4th Street
Oct. 31, 1975
Tower Theater

I didn't listen to the 4th street, but I did go to the link and listened to both Masterpieces and the early Tough Mama - and that compilation is really good - you can tell that the compiler listened to a bunch.
