Space
April 3, 1982
The Scope

This brief Space is more of an extended Jerry-led intro to NFA, and it's way cool. This show is out of sight.

Bird Song
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium

Adventurous, somewhat dissonant jam from a fairly strong first set. Fans of Welnick-era improv should check this out.

Its All Over Now
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

Rowdy but still sharply played. Check out this superb first set.

Row Jimmy
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

He's Gone
Oct. 9, 1977
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.
He's Gone

Vanderbilt University

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!)
Candyman
Aug. 29, 1980
The Spectrum

Virtually note perfect … and yes, Jerry’s in great voice, as he is throughout this underrated tour.
Dark Star
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

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