Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the other punchy, galloping ’77s.

Jack Straw

Alexandra Palace

If you’re like me, you love the intensity of these ’74 Jack Straws. This one is not to be missed.

Swinging funk akin to a ’73 TLEO. Different and sharply played.

Uptown Theatre

Jerry’s playing with amazing ease and fluidity. One shimmering melody after another.

Boston Garden

Played fast, sounding almost triumphant. Very cleanly played with some attention-grabbing Jerry.

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Lots of Keith on organ during the verses, which creates some novel textures.
Throwing Stones
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Hot, swampy East Coast summer energy! Very powerful.
Weather Report Suite
July 29, 1974
Capitol Center

Divinely inspired. I’m going to upvote the LIG right now.
Loser

The Spectrum

Yes, to all of the above, and how ’bout those Phil bombs?
Let It Grow
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Just ridiculous. I can’t even believe this thing. Don’t go another day without hearing this. (The SBD’s not great, but try the AUD, loud.)
