The Music Never Stopped
June 11, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Baffling that this isn't here yet. Perfect tight ensemble playing, exhuberence and one idea flowing into another. Great recent C.Miller cleanup too.

Brown Eyed Women

Boston Music Hall

Beautifully cleaned up version up now showcases the tight ensemble playing here. Bobby's tone is crystal clear and his fills are a treat to hear.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Boston Music Hall

If you've passed by this show, you're missing out a sweetheart of a Roses here. Check out the new C.Miller clean pane of glass in the window.

Might As Well
June 11, 1976
Boston Music Hall

New C.Miller cleanup (10/17) brings in the love. Brilliant show opener with everything '76 has to offer: Hot mellow, lyricisms, and DJG at her best.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Boston Music Hall

So many brilliant ones, but you're missing a real treat if you count this one out. Particularly strong Franklin's but the Slipknot! is brilliant too.

To Lay Me Down
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

2nd one ever, and it's a bit slower than the pace they'd settle on later. Still, this is a beautiful version from one of the warmest and most intimate acoustic sets of 1970. It's like drifting in and out of a lucid dream to the sound of a familiar and sweet lullaby.

May be the best version out there.

The Matrix

As gorgeous as they come. Problems in the mix throughout the source (saturated by high bass levels) don't detract from this glory.
Turn On Your Love Light
July 16, 1970
Euphoria Ballroom

Janis Joplin guests and it's amazing. From the first note to the last, you can tell just how well she fit with Pigpen. They're cracking each other up, and can't wait to take their clothes off and fuck. Listen to it, then tell me you disagree. She even sez, "You gotta work for it... I'm tired of these hippy jack-offs."
How Long Blues

Euphoria Ballroom

Setlists.net lists five performances, four in 1970 plus the '89 show listed below. What a simple, sweet tune. Any JG solo fans out there know if this was in rotation? Did Old and In The Way perform it?
