Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

vocals in this one are stellar! and the outro jam is oohhhhhh so sweet. I'm new to fall '72 and this show is better than a lot of Europe thus far imo...
Weather Report Suite

Providence Civic Center

highlight of the show for sure, flute/horns sound perfect imo
Eyes Of The World

Providence Civic Center

The horns definitely made the Truckin...interesting to say the least, and while nowhere close to the Nassau '90 Eyes, this one has some great moments and awesome soloing by the Dead and Fierro. Well worth the listen I'd say

Fillmore East (Late Show)

The buildup to the Feelin Groovy jam is just so GD perfect! One of the best versions ever imo. Someone called this one pretty and that's a great way to describe it. Such a fantastic show (both early and late!)
