The Music Never Stopped
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

Swirling, cohesive and inspired. It may not hit the rousing peaks of 78, but it's damn fine.

The Wheel
June 15, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Ecstatic and confident with a sweet transition into Sugar Mags.

Mexicali Blues
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

This one takes a sharp left turn into some weird tones and aggressive soloing from Keith and Jerry.

Deal
May 17, 1974
P.N.E. Coliseum

Country rock pulsing with jazzy energy. One of the most exciting pre-hiatus versions.

One More Saturday Night
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

Fierce yet loose. Lots of fun is being had and it's infectious.

The Other One
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Some interesting Weather Report Suite teases after the MAMU.
The Other One
Aug. 24, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Wrong show.
Ramble On Rose
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Bob and Keith lend some agitated energy to the bridge that makes that makes this version feel special.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 7, 1982
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Lots of nuance and creativity in the transition jam, which makes up for a few flubs. A top shelf version from this era.
Truckin'
March 28, 1972
Academy of Music

I've never heard another Truckin' where Pig and Keith's contributions on keys both shine through so clearly and are both so inspired.
