The Music Never Stopped

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.

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.

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

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.

Not Fade Away

Come back to it, over and over again. Opening the set like this is a beautiful statement from the band to fans.
Easy Wind

Pauley Ballroom, U. of California

Some tape speed issues in the first two tracks of this show seem resolved by the time we get to this super-charged insane rager. Pig's harp solo is top notch and Jerry blows the world to pieces with his last solo. Tape quality is pretty poor aside from the speed questions, so this is for AUD lovers only. June '70 seems where they really pulled Easy Wind together with June 5th, 13th and 24th all pretty hardcore.

The real beast here is the experimental jam after Pig's rap. Pity the AUD is about B- quality. The first half of the show is pristine SBD, but alas, the rest is pretty degraded.
New Speedway Boogie

Red Vest

Tough-to-swallow switchover from SBD to AUD a couple of minutes in, but nevertheless worth every second. They do a slightly mellower, jazz-influenced take on it rather than the hard-drivin' bone crusher more typical of the era. I guess it's easy to mellow out in Hawaii, ya think?

A subtle, understated sweetheart of an early version. Bobby and Phil's harmonies have a rare beauty here.
