5
Weather Report Suite
Not a very crisp SB, but really electric, emotional jamming from Jerry. An underappreciated version.
3
Black Throated Wind
Sound quality may prevent some from appreciating this show, but don't miss this one. Bobby gives it everything, everyone goes nuts behind him.
6
Cumberland Blues
Up and jumping, fast and precise version in spite of a few sound quality problems.
5
Let It Grow
Liberated from the Horn Section, the boys let 'er rip. Standard fare until about 6:30, then Jer and Keith just explode into full immensity.
7
Playin' In The Band
Early Playin'>MHUT>Big River>Playin' sandwich. Worth it for the surprise bigbang key-changer from River into the wildassed 2nd Playin'.
2
Beat it on Down The Line
Keith,Keith ,Keith. A blown count-20?? a laugh, 5 beats and we're off. Give it a whirl. a hidden gem of a show
2
Big River
Blazing version, but I nominated it primarily for its placement within the context of the tasty Playin'->Half-Step->Big River->Playin' sandwich.
