Winterland Arena

Piston Pumpin' version to close '77. Overlooked? This is the 244th version listed. Deserves to climb the pile.

Attacked with precision and exuberance by the ensemble, who bat this one on down the road in viscous and youthful ’83 style.

Incorrect year. See 1976.

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.
