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.

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

Cassidy

Melkweg

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

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

Zoinks is right. I've been meaning to sing the praises of this version for a while. Might as well pile it on.

This one should be on here. I was blown away the first time I heard it. Nothing floating about this one - it's all muscle.

I'll put the link to mine on this page when I finish. Have you ever been to deadessays.blogspot, Carrion Crow? There's some Phd level stuff there.

I set it up similar to Sharleena - who posted a google sheet of a scarlet fire project while back. There are eight sections to every half step and I've been ranking each section from A+ to C- and then taking an average. I'm also partial to the last three rio grandeo sections, so I weight them all twice as much. There are 19 '77 half-steps, and one is missing from the archive (10/7), so it's not even close to sharleena's project in scope. It's nerd paradise really.

I'm doing one of Sharleena's spreadsheets with the 77 halfsteps. What's your project going to be darkstar67? Dark star? Are you done S>F, Sharleena? Ready to take on Sugaree?
