Civic Auditorium

Dark, spacey, very psychedelic. Really fits the '83 sound.

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

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

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.
