Worth a mention. It has a good pace, and nice soloing.

Lovely version, the crowd is engaged, and Jerry delivers a perfectly patient sweet solo to end it.

This one is a very in your face rager. Great energy!

The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

This version starts off tentative and Bob forgets most of the lyrics. You're thinking "Yeesh, this version is going to be a mess." Then the midsection jam starts. Great recovery but this version still lacks the steller Jerry peaks that the top notch versions have.

They pack a lot into a jam that is a little less than 10 minutes. Love this dreamy version.

I love the build up in this version.

Vince overpowers Jerry's vocals on the SBD, but this version has a nice flow otherwise. Jerry and Vince play well together here.
