The Other One
April 9, 1989
Freedom Hall

A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Looks Like Rain

Winterland Arena

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Winterland Arena

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Samson and Delilah
April 26, 1977
Capitol Theater

Not just a straightforward rocker. Keith adds an icy contrast to Jerry’s fire while the drummers up the tension.

Sparkling version. Worth your attention as you savor the perfect Oade AUD.

Estimated Prophet

The Omni

Great jamming in the outro, and a lot of fire in the song proper. Terrific second set opener.
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

While I don't think this is among the strongest of the year, the end jam sequence is amazing (it really shone all year long).
Weather Report Suite
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

The climactic Let It Grow jam seems to hint at Caution... or at least I would describe it as Caution-esque. Only wish it were longer.
Big River
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

What Keith and Jerry and Phil achieve during the final bridge is mind-scrambling -- showcases the best of the '74 sound.
To Lay Me Down
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Extraordinary phrasing and unfaltering execution elevates this version of a song I don't always enjoy. I loved this.
