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

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

Very solid version. Video shows Jerry present and very into it.

Bird Song

The Palace

Very hot version. Lots of shredding and a big peak, great Jerry vocals on the outro. Good call cgarces. Nice to have someone else who's really into the vince era. Summer 93 doesn't get a lot of credit, and to be fair there's a lot of "just okay" songs every show. But you just gotta poke around...

Truly classic version. It's just picture-perfect. No note out of place. It's not as exciting as 6/20/83, and it doesn't have the same ethereal feeling as the pre-hiatus versions do, but I've never heard a version more perfectly executed.
Dupree's Diamond Blues

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Never heard Jerry reach more on the vocals. He nails it. Great version

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Jerry and Brent screaming lyrics, drummers locked in, whats not to like! extremely groovy and stoned version
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

The ridiculous fast versions of 85-86 are justly maligned, but this one is nearly as speedy but yet far more controlled, dynamic, and interesting. Great version.
