A Garcia solo worth savoring. Very special.

Ferocious but not reckless. Tremendous feeling and poise. The show as a whole seems woefully underrated.

Jerry soars from the first note while Brent's compI ng subtly shades darker. A mesmerizing gyre. Check out the fine Keshavan/Miller AUD.

Roller coaster outro rises, drops, and swerves again and again, led by Jerry at lightning speed.

I love the way Brent contributes to this delicate but sprightly Ship. Magical.

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

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

Jerry's playing is really hot by the end of this extended jam. Recommended.
Weather Report Suite

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Let It Grow jam builds to a wicked Caution-like inferno. Ridiculously good.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Relentless, exploratory, and smokin’ hot.

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!
