You'll hear voices and see faces in this abstract assault which showcases exceptional group interplay. Bertrando's AUD is VG+.

I always thought that Summer '74 was the best period for this tune but this version is sick.

Morning Dew
May 29, 1969
Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

While it seems that the boys did indeed play a few numbers on this date, it appears that the performance was truncated. And it also appears that out of perhaps simple mislabeling 5/11/69 was circulated under this date.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

Spectacular version. More needs to be said about this one but first more need to listen to it.
Eyes Of The World
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

Found this one on account of a nice heads up from somebody on the archive.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

Big (U.S.) bluesy jam out of this one and into 'Promised Land'. Unique.
Weather Report Suite
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

A picture-perfect version smack dab in the middle of an epic sequence.
