Filter attack on the bridge, contrasts well with the burst-into-flames version from the night before

But a snippet of its ancestral epics, Jerry delivers enough HCS concentrate to raise more than a few goosebumps

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.
