Civic Arena

Brilliant vocals. Jerry stretches it out. Funky, sexed up version.

They Love Each Other

Civic Arena

Less reggae than the Spring '73 versions, this one is fully rockin'. Jer's on, both with vocals and solos.

The Other One

The Spectrum

A must-hear. Goes through four or five melodic/rhythmic innovations, odd time sigs and a MLBesque jam outro. Avoid Lai's version with a nasty cut.

Stunning w/ great Phil solo into TOO. A 2nd set from heaven: LIG>He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Wharf Rat. Don't be put off by 1st set flubs, listen to this!

Playin' In The Band

Subtle, simmering, with slow, steady intensity. To my ears this show has mix issues and needs re-work - but definitely worth it.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 15, 1970
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
Dec. 18, 1973
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.
