Eyes Of The World
Dicks Picks 12 version, standalone Eyes, Jerry and Phil's interplay is some of the best ever!!! Compact, concise, beefy, and melodic.

El Paso
One of those shows where everyone was on and they just seemed to be having fun.Rocking version with Jerry going off and the Wall of Sound to boot.
12
Scarlet Begonias
Scarlet scrambled eggs deconstructed and elemental. Fun and Jerry is on fire, but we can't say 'flawless'. Chaotic fun. Band's just warming up....

Let It Grow
As a young head I used to scream out for LIG and this one reminds me why. They click into place for a monster show right here.

Weather Report Suite
Ok so it's no 6/28/74, but this one holds its own. Real nice playing that gets pretty deep into that freaky-jazzy stuff they do oh so well

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Beautiful, a classic '74 rendition that gets overshadowed by the monster china>rider

Feelin' Groovy Jam
Out of China Cat, incorrectly listed on Dick's Picks 12 as "Mind Left Body Jam" is actually a Feelin' Groovy jam. Absolutely wonderful.

Black Throated Wind
June of 1974 had some amazing music this is one of many great tunes from that month
8
Brown Eyed Women
Very good version, jerry does the intro a little different, love '74 versions of this.
7
The Other One
Proud and upstanding part of a great sequence. Phil is at the top of his game in one of his greatest of bass-playing years.
5
Mexicali Blues
My lord! This mexicali is insane!! If you doubt the power of the cowboy tunes listen to this Wall of Sound beauty!!!

Big River
Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.
