Let It Grow
Sept. 15, 1973
Providence Civic Center

Phil's rippling fills. Full horns. At 8:00 a wild turkey (???) starts gobbling next to a mic and Jer responds mid-solo. Weird, chaotic and shredding.

Weather Report Suite

Providence Civic Center

Historical oddity. Flute accompanyment to part one and full horn section throughout. Not everyone's cup of tea, but interesting.

Truckin'
Sept. 15, 1973
Providence Civic Center

An oddity. A ballsy Truckin' with full horn section. Weird fun in its odd way from a forgotten show.

This one and the one 3 days earlier are both inventive and experimental - really soaring. Rough AUD though.

Tennessee Jed

1st set suffers from rough AUD, but this Jed soars. Jer rages, building it into a triumph. Headphones only.

The Other One
Oct. 23, 1970
McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

First Truckin'>TOO ever? If so, that's pretty cool. It's the first one I know of.
Good Lovin'
Oct. 23, 1970
McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Very fine jam, sparks flying, and Pigpen's vox is perfect. I'll be damned but around minute 14 there's a little backup rhythm that sounds like the Good Lovin' redux c. '78 or so.
Deep Elem Blues

Cgarces and jagraham84: Check out Sept 30, 1971 for the early prototype, if you dig this song in its electric form. Cheers!
Dark Star

Cleveland Music Hall

Anything gdtrfb recommends is a good listen and he's (she's?) not at all wrong here. This is an AUD-lover's Star, with all the perfect, moody, thematics of 1970. Builds and buds into glory. The only reason it's not higher is because it's only recently recovered. Enjoy!
The Wheel

Market Square Arena

Dreamishness-o-lisciousness. To 'get it' you should go back and hear the whole Playin'>d/s>wheel sequence. Go past the link here and find the Charlie Miller remix, obviously, for beautiful sound quality and balance.
