Sugaree

Jai-Alai Fronton

One of the (for me) rare versions of Sugaree that never drags, but keeps building and building with great intensity.

Rambler Room

Gorgeous acoustic version in a superb gem of a concert. Jer's voice is perfect, the emotional arc soars. A mini masterpiece.

Wait for it, then run in fear from it. The boys had something ferocious in mind here.

Weather Report Suite
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Beautiful transition out of an epic Eyes, keeping up the mellow vibe of the whole show: Take-yer-time, we'll get there...
Eyes Of The World

Kiel Auditorium

This whole show has a nice take-our-time vibe. They build up slow and steady, but get there in the end, making this another top-shelf '73 Eyes.
Here Comes Sunshine

Kiel Auditorium

Zen-like spacious "hot mellow" like the best of '73. Opening the show like this must have told the heads in attendance, "Gear up boys and girls, we're on tonight...."
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Truly one of the most amazing examples of the GD's brilliance ever. I love this version. No secret that '73 Eyes are soaring glories (wings a mile long...) but this one stands out for its crisp precision and the absolutely freakingly shredding jam after the interlude leading straight into China Doll. Leaves me breathless.
Truckin'

Beautiful spaced out jazz. Sounds for a second like Jer wanted to go into Stella right before Drums.
