Weather Report Suite
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

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

Hofheinz Pavilion

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

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.

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.
