Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star

Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Weather Report Suite
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Great version from a very good overall show.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Depending on a number of variables, there may be versions as good, but there are certainly none better. I love this playing over the opening scenes of the film 'Sunshine Daydream'. Let's hope we get Veneta released a la 'Crimson White & Indigo'.
Eyes Of The World
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Phil!!! This and 7/31/74 are maybe THE two MONSTER Phil versions of this tune.
Big River
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

The more I hear this one the better it seems to get.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

The song was just emerging from the primordial slime at this point and so it is not as pleasantly plump as it would be by, say, 1977, but Jerry really sounds like a sweet Georgia peach on that solo in between the Rio Grandee choruses.
