The Music Never Stopped
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University
I don't always have a chance to do a full blown critical listen to a song on an audiophile level system while in PEAK head space, but when I do? I save time for things like checking out the top MNS submission on headyversion.
Balls of Lightning!
I want to make one thing perfectly clear: you could start a happy, fun time religion based on this one song alone. It may be the happiest song I have ever heard.
I am healed again.
I know Jerry knew that we love it when he fans out full hose showboat style, and the fact is almost ever major song gets the ultimate treatment at least once. I believe this is The Music Never Stopped's super throw down version. The fun vocal interplay between B and D? I love it....but the real story is JG on lead guitar.
tl;dr: this version is pure golden love honey
