Great song, and a good movie.
Man! If you only knew how many times I would chill to the Dead when I lived in Cali ….. Many a night camping in the woods and on the beach ….memories
Compiling excerpts from three shows in February 1978, this stunning three-disc set demonstrates quite clearly what the Grateful Dead was all about … The crown jewel of [the opening disc] is a glorious rendition of The Music Never Stopped. Here the band deliberately took its time, allowing the song to develop at its own pace. Guitar, bass, piano, and percussion meshed together to climb, dip, ascend, dive, swirl, spin, and spiral in unison, and by the end of the song, what had started as a comfortable chugging amble had mutated into a galloping gait … Scarlet Begonias and Fire on the Mountain was nearly thirty minutes of pure bliss, which words simply cannot describe. Suffice it to say that this was as beautiful and perfect as the band — make that any band — could get … Each of the songs that appear on Dick's Picks 18 is exquisitely performed. Consequently, this is not just a collection for those most rabid of Grateful Dead fans with countless hours of bootleg tapes lying around their abode. Anyone who has wondered just what the big deal was with this band, just might find the answer lurking among the three hours and fifty minutes of music contained in this collection. – Excerpts from The Music Box's review
REMEMBER THE AFTERNOON JAMS AT THEIR HOUSE ON THE CORNER OF HAIGHT AND ASHBURY IN FRISCO.
Later in Denver at Red Rocks, they played there a week at a time.
Another great band from Cali!
keep on the dead. you gonna get plenty of clicks. lots of us out here
I picked this exact version for another reactor to listen too. 77 and 78 definitively the best versions of this song. That's not to say other years didn't have great versions as well. But 77 and 78 seems to be the peak of this song.
The band slaps.
Shout out to your GD consultant!
Worst band I've ever heard
Every show/setlist was different but there was a method to the perceived randomness. First thing, most songs had 'slots' where you were more likely to see them. "The Music Never Stopped" became a solid, first-set closer from way back. Played 234 times between 1976-1995, it bounced around a bit but found its place as a first-set closer by '78. So for seasoned deadheads when you heard those opening bass notes you knew the Dead were wrapping the first set up, or close to it. "I'm getting nachos, you want anything from concessions?" After crunching the numbers, and for those who love GD minutiae, Music Never Stopped was played ~ 1 out of every 6 shows during its day (1976-1995): 1401/234= 5.98. On any given night we were far more likely to see a "Deal" close the first than 'Music.' MNS was a treat.
Soooooo many fantastic Dead jams. Try "Dancing In the Streets" Cornell '77 or a Scarlet Begonias/Fire On the Mountain.
What a great version. Miss you Jerry.
No other band, like Grateful Dead !
Biz ! Keep going on this Grateful Deas adventure !
I can detect the horrid bum-clap beat of disco in there at times.
Disco and I never got along lol
TBH I could have tolerated the 70s night clubs* if the calibre of music had been like this track.
At least it has that lovely instrumental/solo section that would have got me boogeying.
*Nah, could never have happened.
The beer was piss water ??
Smash up that glitter ball, baby!!! ??
More Dead!
What an ending solo from Jerry Garcia on this one!! ???
Always LOVED this song, the beat and groove is just infectious— even Biz was dancing! ( even though we don't pay you to dance….?✌ )
What's next from The Dead, you asked?
How about , "Estimated Prophet"?
In this case, the studio version is fantastic, unless a fellow Head can recommend a good live version…
shades of high school with Donna singing. Followed them around for 28 years…hola from my home in Baja
The GOAT
We chilled nicely then ? always had fun and love
Dancing in the street-GRATEFUL DEAD
Shakedown street-grateful dead
Yeah Biz! 78 was a fantastic year!
Sugar Magnolia is one of my favorites ?
Thumbs up on show…i never been one of the deadheads but long haired pot smoking hippie freak with" mind turning slower never to accept defeat" certainly .Rock on
45+ year DeadHead here. This is not even REMOTELY in realm of the greatest versions ever played. Diving into LIVE Grateful Dead is a LIFETIME COMMITMENT.
aye keep this up i love this man❤❤❤
Great song! Great version!
Bass Great, Lesh Philling!
