Grateful Dead...the music never stopped...5.7.77 boston MA

[whomroy]

This was my 1st show,great show,sound trouble made them take time before every song which is a good thing,tuning and such,eyes,wheel,this tune.The old garden was great,this spring run was the dead at their best although the next 3 decades was allot of fun too,got ticks for the hard rock in Vegas next month to see Phil and Bob because when they are done the music will slow but never stop, Have fun Today

[nickthebold]

I really like Donna. Idk why people hate. 

[shannyold]

Probably my favorite recording of this song, absolutely great. And I usually dont like Donna, but I really have to say here she is great. And while I think the best years were 71 and 72, 77 has some very, very, very high points. I was only a year and a half old when jerry died, but if I could listen to only one band from now till the end it'd have to be the Dead nobody can rock like this

[erpmarlo13]

I love the 5/9/77

[wharfrat10]

I feel so lucky to have a tape of this concert!

[jmw232]

donna sucks!!!!

[bear06460]

love donna, always will. there werent many songs that suited her in the beginning but after 75 i think she sounded great on the songs she sang on.

[steveat420time]

donnas the shit stop hating

[IAmtheNexusOne]

The Eyes and Peggy-O from this show are among the best ever. A lot of tuning in this show but Jerry was on fire this night.

[tjhillgardner]

Absolutely breattaking and subsequently legendary performances such as this are what made the Grateful Dead the most famous and successful touring rock 'n roll band in the 1980's and 1990's.

[thegunnydog]

Best version I ever heard in 30 years. Thanks.

[melodsys]

I know whats with that? When donna and keith dropped into the mix the stuff hadnt been written for them and they both made amazing contributions. I love the donna years I only wish I wasnt in elementary school when it happened. Her sister energy so fully complemented and filled out the boys.

[bcterry1984]

wonderful present for bill kreutzmann's birthday

[brandonrondeau123]

[dedhippi]

sometimes you have to strectch out with the dead.

[Chrissbee98765]

jerry is so on during this performance definitely his best of this song!

[shawniskind]

Nice version of this song, thanks so much for uploading!

[ThisisnotCoco]

Donna makes this song. I don't bother listening to "The Music Never Stopped" without her.

[BecauseItsTrue]

wrong venue and state get it right

[GZVidz]

The Dead in 77 was at their absolute best, and this my favorite song, so I will say, this is the alltime classic Grateful Dead, I used to sing harmony in the crowd wooouuhhuhhh!

[scottalias]

This song never did sound right without Donna...if I ever invent my time machine I am going on this tour..the best the dead ever got, next show was Ithaca, the Buffalo

[tjhillgardner]

My first show was 5-5-77, New Haven Coliseum. I should've blown off finals and saw teh rest of the tour, but only got to see Hartford CT, 5-28-77, after that. Then the legendary Englishtown show on 9-2-77. I feel so blessed that everyone looks back and so much reverence is paid to this period.

[tyleryesta1]

Forever Grateful Forever Dead. Jerry was a Master.

[treeguy57]

spring '77.  some of the best

[patrulz]

@treeguy57 it really was and is the best

[mikesczuka]

People are always hatin on Donna . I guess it didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now whether people like her or not . The Grateful Dead liked her and employed her . I think Donna provided a nice contrast

[darrenable1]

Isn't this a Grateful Song that Bob Weir Does, Bob Weir Governor of California, May All the Dead heads unite Southern California... Bob Weir is God

[captainmorgan6666]

wow, donna sounds great. here usually she makes me wanna light myself on fire and jump off a tall tower

[kalukskate12]

@captainmorgan6666 couldnt agree more

[creamer1968]

Wowzaaaaaaaa Phil is Rockin here! Fantastic recording, thanks for posting!

[jc4166050]

This is a great version of Music Never Stopped, but the 10-12-84 version surpasses it. Listen to that version, and if you disagree at that point, that's cool. But I think you'll agree the '84 version is spectacular ;)

[Chrissbee98765]

agree with below def the best version of this song and perhaps best show

[njswampz]

Great show. Great song. I have this show on tape. my fav music never stopped!

[mendex2006]

sweeet verssion... this is the best band ever, and we need a new band like this in order to save the planet.

[GDarkstar74]

gotta have this show. 5-7-77, and 5-8-77 are essential.

[MissScarlett27]

@GDarkstar74 absolutely! always in my rotation!

[RickyBrant15]

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­k

[saighdude1]

jerry's rippin on this

[Gossage54]

@saighdude1 Spring 1977 my friend. A sweet spot in time for the Dead. Many gems to be found in April and May of that year. The first one that blew my mind in high school on a maxell II tape with surprisingly decent quality was the Grandaddy (though quite debatable) of the run Cornell 5/8 the next night. Then there's 5/9 in Buffalo the night after that which was ANOTHER classic. That Travis Bean has such a sweet sound too.

[Trey4Fun]

Holy shit best Music Never stopped ever, I nearly jizzed...sick collecible right here.

[ibanezguitar1]

yeah this is good. pallidium 77 is good,

[chowfunnoodles8]

this live as usual from da dead

[wrombola]

The keyboards at this show are the anchor. They go from listless to innappropriate from song to song. Drives me crazy
