The Music Never Stopped

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Note for note brilliant. Jerry is blazing over the band with one brilliant line after another. Great set capper.

Solid emotionally charged version with a great balanced soundboard right as the Fall tour kicks into blistering hot gear.

Samson and Delilah

William and Mary College Hall

Fall of '76 is peak time for Samsons, and this one just struts. Great feeling for this under-the-radar show.

Peak musicianship and total communication of the band at one of their most telepathic moments as a group. Jerry's vox is sublime.

Pristine rendition, now audible with thanks to C.Miller. This is a peak era Dead, with new sounds and balance even in the straight rockers.

He's Gone
Oct. 15, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

This is one of the best shows of 1976, and every song just jams and jams beautifully (except maybe Bertha, which sounds like an unplanned mess). This He's Gone is one luscious peak after another. So beautiful, so fine.

This scorcher will amaze you. Jerry burns with the force of a thousand suns. Really.

The "It Factor" is dialed way up past 11 here folks. Don't skip this show. Strap on some headphones and cross that Rio-o-o-o Grande. This one is a beaut. I keep using the word "powerful" to describe their playing on this show and I think it's apt. Check out an under-the-radar MHUT and enjoy!

The Devils take this one to the races. The whole set is one colossal jam after another.

The jam out of this is so good. It sounds like half the band is playing Playin' and the other half is playing The Other One. Could some one with better ears than mine tell me if that's right? Are they jamming 6/8 over 10/4 for a patch? Wild.
