Grand Center

Jerry’s solo is a fountain of melodic exuberance, reminiscent of the BEW earlier in the set.

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Worth switching to the AUD to hear the explosive ending after the SBD cuts out. Just awe-inspiring.

Drums -> Space

Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

Space

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

This is an amazing, symphonic Space with a beautiful sense of movement. Highly recommended.
Shakedown Street

Rainbow Theater

Jerry's playing is really hot by the end of this extended jam. Recommended.
Weather Report Suite
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Let It Grow jam builds to a wicked Caution-like inferno. Ridiculously good.
Let It Grow
July 6, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Relentless, exploratory, and smokin’ hot.
Not Fade Away
June 4, 1977
The Forum

Today I learned that, at double speed, NFA can sound like the insanely jammed-out Minglewood that never was. Check out this version to hear what I mean. Brilliant show all around, and the AUD is pretty excellent!
