The Music Never Stopped

The Palace

Truly proves there was some magic on every tour. The outro jam is unreal hot, with Jerry, Vince, and Bruce battling it out. Crazy stuff here!

Jerry gets really into it in the second half. Not lifechanging, but fun

Roanoke Civic Center

Excellent, hard-charging version from arguably the best show of 87. Bobby stuttering all over the verses

They Love Each Other
Dec. 18, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Really strong version led by Vince and Jerry. Vince's real piano sound and Jerry's acoustic tone combine for a fantastic sound that really suits the song - not to mention they're both playing very well.
The Other One
March 30, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Should have more than a couple votes. Very strong stuff, jerry on fire, pig adding nice fills, etc etc - not unique for the era but very heady.
Bird Song
June 20, 1991
Pine Knob Music Theatre

Agree with the above comments about the great full band interplay. Phil is way turned up and Vince takes a very trippy solo in the middle.
He's Gone
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Definitely kind version and super kind pre-drums with great triple jerry combo.
The Music Never Stopped
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Totally unbelievable version. Each note of each solo is perfectly played with laser precision, not a note out of place. Fantastic hot and long
