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.

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

Haters: Donna can't sing in tune? Really? Listen to this, even if you can't stand the song, and you'll know exactly what she could do with her voice. She always complained that she couldn't hear herself on stage, and knowing she could deliver when featured makes me wonder how many of her more egregious "interventions" could have been better mic'd, mixed, and leveled.

Glorious transition jam into Wharf Rat. It just seems to happen by accident: Everyone is putting together a beautiful inventive jam that doesn't resemble any other Eyes jam I know, then suddenly it's Wharf Rat, perfectly. Have to re-listen to it to hear if there were earlier hints that point to it....

Grendel said exactly what I was going to say here. The Help is just dynamite.

Just fell in love with this song again. Love, love, love.

Jaw dropping. I'm flabbergasted, shocked that I haven't heard this before. Top shelf Dead.
