Grateful Dead - The Music Never Stopped (Washington, DC 6/14/91)

"The first single from the Dead's 'Blues For Allah' album, 'The Music Never Stopped' debuted live in 1975, and was primarily a first set closer by 1977, although it occasionally opened a show, and on a very rare occasion in 1985, it opened a second set. Originally, the song's lyric was written as Hollywood Cantata by Robert Hunter, but Bob scrapped those lyrics and had his songwriting partner write a completely different lyric." -David Lemieux

Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? There's no better place to take a long strange trip with the Grateful Dead than right here. We've got music from every single studio album and a bevy of live albums, to boot. There are celebrated live performances from the 70s and 80s and official videos with more skeletons than you can shake your bones at, an exclusive seaside series on what's to come from the band's rich catalog and details on meet-ups all across the promised land. If it's community you’re after, try your hand at our yearly DEAD COVERS PROJECT competition and connect with fellow Dead Heads around the world. Heck, keep your eyes peeled you might even catch a glimpse of Pigpen on keys, Jerry in a GROOVE, Bobby tellin' tales, Mickey talkin' space, Phil and friends, Bill on the beach, or anyone from our extended family.
It's all happenin' right here. Subscribe and you won't miss a thing.

I love that little riff he does when the song is starting

[@ianb9851]

Same here, it's always buttery smooth.

[@george.s.8491]

That bass is a monster!!! Love the sound of it!! Man I miss these days.

[@abraxas511]

Its amazing the difference in watching Phil as he smoothly glides along playing and grooving to the music compared to Mike Gordons style where he is still with head bobbing and is more of a mechanical looking style. Mike snaps from position to position in perfect time, phil seems to glide effortlessly along from place to place. I love them both, its just so interesting to see their different styles. I love it when bass stands out like this gem.

Is there a recording of the REAL lyrics?

Interesting. Thank you.

[@chuzzlewit1]

@@PizzaT You can hear Hollywood Cantata on the Studio Rarities release.

Oooooweee, just finished listening to a version from Bonner Springs, 6/25/91. And I keep on dancing!

My favorite version of this song. The whole band is tight, Bruce is there. Bobby, Phil, and Jerry really locked in

I was very lucky to be there. Great show all the way through. There was almost no water in the lot that day, but the liquid was abundant.

[@Sam-et3ve]

This has been in my head since the tour was announced! Can't wait

[@awayalonealast]

bobby's guitar tone is fantastic on this version

[@mountainair]

So clear in the 90s

[@mattjm82]

Lol, are we listening to the same song ? Sounds awful.

[@andyblack9066]

@@mattjm82 yea, same thing i'm thinking. It doesn't ring a bell for me. Listen to some late 70s Music Never Stopped and you'll hear some great bobby tone.

[@done1675]

LOL, I hate it. What is he even trying to accomplish here?

[@mountainair]

I wonder if those who find his tone off are listening on phones

[@nathangray4601]

If Bobby doesn’t end up pulling these specific jorts out on the last tour i’ll be disappointed

[@christopherjohnson1803]

And have Donna Jean return to sing this one with him...

[@user-fv7pd6cf4t]

Thinking it may be the final song

[@Maaaatttttt]

I like how the songs are the same but awesomely different like an individual fingerprint or snowflake. Peace. Happy New Year

It was a fiddle not the wind.

[@bradmurphy3206]

Love the tune, but even with the great Hornsby sitting 8:43 in, they are not at their best here. The phase calling it in works here for Jerry. I love the Dead, just my not so humble opinion.

[@ExpertAdviceTV]

These guys need to find someone who can actually write a song. Once they get a song, they need to find guitar players who can really play.

[@picassomoon6435]

Bobbys shorts

[@campdavidmobile]

what on earth is all that noise? who are all those people? are there seriously two keyboards .......i dont know what that squeaky noise is but ....its got to be the keyboards ........sorry i left when brent left ........i just dont get it .......ok well people are enjoying it so thats cool ......but my god in heaven how completely irritating .......i would leave this show in tears

[@CharlieBarkinTheDog]

If youre wondering why theres 2 keyboardists then you never really knew who Brent really was. It would take 3 guys to do what he could do. Notice neither of the new keyboardists sang any lead songs nor wrote any significant songs.

[@Sixstreetdisciples0420]

The music never stopped. Until dead and co. Came along. Charging beyond ridiculous prices and stopped with the tapers! Now the boys are retiring! Uhm, I’m this line of work. We don’t quite or retire. We play til death and then some. Thank God for Papa Bear!
