Playin' In The Band
This Playing is truly epic. Intense"Brain Melt' feeback jam that disintigrates into nothingness only to rise like a Phoenix as the most beautiful MLB.
52
He's Gone
Holy beautiful version! Jerry hits the tingly goodness on this one. Very nice
53
Morning Dew
Fantastic
52
Cold Rain and Snow
The band sure brought it on this presumably cold night in Boston...things heat up right from the start
16
Row Jimmy
Sweetness right here.
35
Weather Report Suite
Excellent, post song jams especially have a very sharp attack
55
Mind Left Body Jam
Comes out so weet from a disassembled Playin'. The Aud is better to listen to.
87
Wharf Rat
Perhaps the most distinctive and spacey version they played. Mellow and poignant. My favorite.
36
Stella Blue
Wonderful Stella into classic Morning Dew
27
Jack Straw
Really? No votes for this incredible version!
29
Truckin'
Briliant version outta He's Gone, forsakes the all out bluesy, rockin' type of Truckin' for a snaky, bluesy, up-to-no-good sound.
19
Brown Eyed Women
Surprised to not see this on here yet. Great, soulful playing all around, with some funny banter and a Beer Barrel Polka afterwards.
11
Beat it on Down The Line
Typically not a catch your ear kinda tune, but this one did for me, just on point throught. Although this whole show cooks. Check out Dick's 14.

Dire Wolf
Slow version with really nice vocals
8
Deal
A lovely vocal, loping swinging version
7
The Race Is On
'73 is a helluva year for this song

Big River
Surprised this one isn't here.

Sugar Magnolia
Nice peak bro.

Last song from this all-time great show to be nominated...great version.
