Another strong version from Brent's last year. Colorful with a swirling energy.

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

There’s something about the pluck of this early version. Fresh and surprising even if you’ve heard a billion Jack Straws.

Truckin'

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.)
