Strand Lyceum
A crisp and powerful rendition, as good as any from Europe '72.

This one has a great transition jam into TOO. Hopefully a better sounding recording emerges someday.

Sacramento Memorial Auditorium
This one's got more pep than a lot of '72 versions.

Great summer '72 version. Right up there with Veneta.

Paramount Northwest Theater
Chock full of heady summer '72 goodness. It's not quite 04/08, but tasty nonetheless.

Weather Report Suite

Hofheinz Pavilion
More of a tease than a proper rendition of the Prelude, but this is undoubtedly some treacherous territory.

Some really interesting jams in this one. Jazz spaciness, feedback peppered with light Phil bombs, and then it edges close to MLB/Feelin' Groovy territory before somehow ending up in the Weather Report intro.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium
Well, maybe not the 18th, now that I've listened to it again. This is still a darn good Playing though!
Sugar Magnolia
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall
There are a lot of killer Sugar Mags from Nov. '72, but this one is the top of the top. Sometimes Jerry comes achingly close to those licks that you really want him to play, but in this one, he hits them full force, and the whole band is spot on.

Dallas Memorial Auditorium
Oh yeah, this one smokes! If only the sound on the recording was a little better, it would be right up there with Nov. 15th and 18th.
