Big Railroad Blues

Downs of Santa Fe

Another one from ‘83 that shouldn’t be vote starved.
Let It Grow

The Spectrum

Yes, the Miller mix is outstanding; you can make out each musician in the well-balanced, simultaneous flow. After the lyrics, the horns have a great run with those long blasts and Jerry, always seizing the moment, delivers it to another level. The return to the Weather Report Suite theme is a fitting touch to conclude.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Knickerbocker Arena

Extended workout for this suite on this June Knickerbocker occasion. Deep into that first Fire jam Jerry arrives at the song’s intro riffs and (the video doesn’t show it) I recall this being the point where Bob is really thrown for a loop and comes through it with a “What the heck was that?” expression that is also comedic and once again reinforces that “it goes to show you don’t ever know.” Strong show for ’92.

Agree with 03 on the misplaced inquiry. Nevertheless, the horn was also blown at 3/13/92, but no Casey. Not one of my more memorable shows, but the horn is hard to forget.
