Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

A pounding, emotional version delivered with the inspiration that runs throughout the MSG ’90 run

Brokedown Palace
May 9, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

One of a few comical, double-start versions, this one comes around to cap off a great evening, sending us aglow into the parking lot

Aiko Aiko
April 3, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

Punchy and well explored to open the gig; beefy and well mixed soundboard to boot
2
Hell in a Bucket
June 5, 1993
Giants Stadium

Charging, gnarly version to open the proceedings before the dish-off off to a soaring Sugaree

Foolish Heart
Sept. 19, 1988

Enjoy the free wanderings of these earlier versions before the “hook” closed the jam segment.

"You already voted for this show!"
Samson and Delilah

Incorrect year. See 1976.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 10, 1983
Downs of Santa Fe

Another one from ‘83 that shouldn’t be vote starved.
Let It Grow
Sept. 21, 1973
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.
