Blues For Allah

Long, stretched out great jamming. Serious "Stronger than Dirt" in the middle of it all. Beautiful.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 8, 1986
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Surrounds a great China Doll, very psychedelic in places, marimba madness and tripped out phasing. Greatness from a not-so-great year.

Not usually an 80's fan, but this one is spooky, mysterious and trippy. Inside a Playin' sandwich that's pretty ripping for the late date, too.

Lot's of fast fun, and just slightly out of control. Seems they're hanging on for dear life. Enjoy!

Just so good. Smooth, great vocals. Jerry's crystal clear and ripping throughout.

Turn On Your Love Light

Winterland Arena

The teeny-weeny NFA is just beautiful. This song (and whole show) fn rocks.
The Other One
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

Well worth it's place amongst the top Other Ones of all time (à la GD projects). Unique, high voltage jam, massive '70 sound at its best.
Weather Report Suite
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

This one has it all. One of the most energetic LIG's yet (listening chronologically since its debut), especially in terms of the new pathways they explored in the jam. Goes seamlessly into a beautiful Dark Star too, i.e. Dead heaven.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Hot stuff. Jerry's in absolute total command of his guitar. The band is so tight. For a song that sometimes seems like an afterthought, this one shoots out sparks.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

A sparse and airy China Cat jam, like feathery clouds, and then they just keep kicking into higher and higher gear until we're cruising at high speed in the outer atmosphere. Real pretty.
