The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

Kiel Auditorium

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

He's Gone

McNichols Arena

This is really good. The tempo doesn’t drag, the harmonies are sweet, and the outro is explosive, albeit short. Check out the whole sequence from Estimated on.

Good god!!! This is incredible.
Weather Report Suite
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Felt compelled to note — the Prelude > Part 1 is exceptional. (Nothing against the Let It Grow, of course!)

The Spectrum

Virtually note perfect … and yes, Jerry’s in great voice, as he is throughout this underrated tour.
Dark Star

Palace Theatre

Avant-garde even by the standards of 1972. What a beautiful mindfuck. I just love it.
