Civic Center

Funky version slathered in Fender Rhodes gets an incendiary Jerry solo.

Capital Centre

Ominous dark synth lead-in to a great Other One.

Sugaree

Cardinal Stadium

Wow, everyone’s playing the hell out of this Sugaree! The band is clearly ON.

Uptown Theater

These long freaky Drumses from ’78 are really compelling. The band must have felt so too, since Drums>Space, uh, stuck around!

California State University Dominguez Hills

Jerry's solo is on point, really precise and eloquent.

He's Gone
Oct. 9, 1977
McNichols Arena

This is really good. The tempo doesn’t drag, the harmonies are sweet, and the outro is explosive, albeit short. Check out the whole sequence from Estimated on.
He's Gone

Vanderbilt University

Good god!!! This is incredible.
Weather Report Suite
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Felt compelled to note — the Prelude > Part 1 is exceptional. (Nothing against the Let It Grow, of course!)
Candyman
Aug. 29, 1980
The Spectrum

Virtually note perfect … and yes, Jerry’s in great voice, as he is throughout this underrated tour.
Dark Star
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Avant-garde even by the standards of 1972. What a beautiful mindfuck. I just love it.
