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

Pretty Peggy O

Nassau Coliseum

The best years for PeggyO were 74-77 and 94. Not a bad PeggyO in any of these years. This one is nice and sweet.

I think Vince really helped the band lay back a little bit after the double-whammy of Brent then Bruce who both meant that there was never any space in the band's sound. I notice a lot of jams in 93-95 going into very spacey spots, and I think Vince gets a lot of credit for knowing when to be a leading instrument vs. when to add color in jams, versus Brent and Bruce, who were either a fire-hose of notes, or not playing at all (and Brent was NEVER not playing).

Copps Coliseum

Super hot. As groovy and funky as they come. Jerry finds a fantastic riff around 9:30 and runs with it.

Mid solo is crazy, and ending has some serious shred too. Fantastic version.

Incredible version. Jerry takes the solo around an extra time.
