A little extra mustard on this one.

Me and Bobby McGee

Winterland Arena

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Jack Straw

Memorial Coliseum

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

The Spectrum

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

Some interesting Weather Report Suite teases after the MAMU.
The Other One

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.
