Truckin'
Wow - Part of a truly awesome segment. Truckin' > NFBM > Other One > drums > Jam > WRS. Top shelf
11
Weather Report Suite
Awesome jam leading into the song, then solid execution
6
Wang Dang Doodle
The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down
9
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Qucik and Jazzy, HUGE Feelin' Groovy jam peak into Rider
7
The Other One
Great The Other One into a sweet jam before falling into Weather Report
6
Black Throated Wind
Keith on organ just kills it. He's hot in the mix and the song has a totally different feel for it. Show overshadowed by Nov.-Dec. '73 but worth it.
2
Casey Jones
Interrupted by bad fight in front of the stage. Phil goes bonkers, calls the security guard "Asshole". Weird scene/bad vibes.
5
Big River
I dig Bobby in the mix on this one.
3
Row Jimmy
Very cohesive version with a noticeable snap. And Phil’s prominent in the recording.
2
Jack Straw
Do not miss! Jerry and Billy delicately dance across this while Phil subtly challenges the stability.
3
Ramble On Rose
Sharp, delightful version. Supercharged Keith’s melodic lines will keep you guessing.
3
Loose Lucy
Jazzy and mellow, this Lucy is loose indeed
2
Brown Eyed Women
Gone are the days when this was absent
3
Sugar Magnolia
Blooming like a red rose
3
Sugaree
Sugary molasses
2
One More Saturday Night
Nice long solo, interesting recovery from incident prior to the song.
2
Mexicali Blues
Everybody Polka/Ladies choice
2
Me and Bobby McGee
Just the right touch
