Sweet version with just Bob and Jerry for the David Letterman Show. Funny interviews + a Monkey & the Engineer. On YouTube. Jer outsmarts David L.

Playin' In The Band
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

'71 Playin's are a special kind of love: nothing like what it became, a clang machine 10/4 poppin' country yodel. This one knocks my socks off.

Weather Report Suite

Hofheinz Pavilion

The Prelude only, but really it's a thematic and 2nd meltdown to the mind-blowing Dark Star. Under certain circumstances this one could be dangerous.

Capitol Center

A seamless sweet groove - into a very cool TOO. This show doesn't get enough love - all Summer '74 is hot, but this is a real corker.

Relatively rare in '76, this is the first one since the hiatus. Jerry and Keith are in perfect sync, and chase each other around the jam in a wild, slithering race.
Wharf Rat
July 14, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Deliberate is a good term for it. After a speedy and scattered Let it Grow (Bobby's chews up the lyrics), Jerry takes over the transition and somehow both spins higher and higher, while bring the band together, slows, them down, catches a breath, and lands on this intensely focused Wharf Rat,

But dude, if you believe Bobby when he tells you it's someone's birthday, I've got a bridge to sell you! That's some Prankster voodoo trickery, man.
