Weather Report Suite

William and Mary College Hall

Surprised this isn't listed yet. This version is by far the best with the horns, with Jerry and Martin really getting into it with some fiery leads!

Cryptical Envelopment
June 5, 1969
Fillmore West

Monster reprise, one of the longest and best ever.

Scarlet Begonias

Roosevelt Stadium

Unusual and fiery version making up the meat of an otherworldly Playin' sandwich.

Fillmore West

Without question, the best Crypt reprise ever performed. This one reaches the limits of space and time.

Scarlet Begonias

Cow Palace

First ever Scarlet Begonias. Very unusual sound with a very tentative, bluesy feel, but it's still a keeper and worth hearing for the novelty at least

The Other One
Nov. 1, 1968
Silver Dollar Fair

Just have to add that this Other One has possibly the most heavy and intense playing I've ever heard, it's a must-listen
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Forgot a description, but this one is a great Garcia workout; Feeling Groovy is a stunning early version of the jam...
Dark Star
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

This is THE Dark Star!!!!
Deal
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Jerry is as chill as a Popsicle, kind of song that really makes you appreciate his laid-back playing style
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
May 14, 1974
Adams Field House, U of Montana

maybe the highlight of the show, and that's saying something!
