transcendent jerry vocal on this one, trying to make sense of how god could allow so much suffering, through the act of making music? whatever you get out of stella blue, wonderful performances from all on this. rose water creme brulee shell for a fire and brimstone stew.

The Music Never Stopped
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

ok wow. this is a wet rembrandt for so many reasons one of them is the amazing deal before it. jerry gets in vinyasa flow and the drummers (who have been spot on all first set) start driving the ship into dinosaurs chasing after their prey territory, such is the forward pushing heaviness. High stepping delivery. Suspenseful gooey magnetic middle jam. And a blistering buffet of peaks.
