Me and My Uncle
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Carries forward the energy and vibe of the preceding Ollin>NFA. Kind of mesmerizing.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

Eloquent Jerry solo elevates this one unexpectedly.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Don’t always love the ’78s for this tune, but this howling version certainly warrants attention.

The Eleven
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Another brilliant April '69 Eleven that just doesn't let up. Forceful, but totally unforced.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Brilliantly strange. T.C.'s organ adds stuttering weirdness to a churning groovathon.

Truckin'
Oct. 27, 1973
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
March 24, 1973
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.)
