Letterman

Sweet version with just Bob and Jerry for the David Letterman Show. Funny interviews + a Monkey & the Engineer. On YouTube. Jer outsmarts David L.

Playin' In The Band
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

'71 Playin's are a special kind of love: nothing like what it became, a clang machine 10/4 poppin' country yodel. This one knocks my socks off.

Weather Report Suite
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

The Prelude only, but really it's a thematic and 2nd meltdown to the mind-blowing Dark Star. Under certain circumstances this one could be dangerous.

Nobody's Fault But Mine

Capitol Center

A seamless sweet groove - into a very cool TOO. This show doesn't get enough love - all Summer '74 is hot, but this is a real corker.

Capitol Center

Some of the best boogie-woogie cowboy barroom stride piano from Keith here.

Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Pretty wickedly funky dark jams here too.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Bobby cracks up on the last chorus with lots of subdued giggling. Great version.
The Other One
July 25, 1972
Paramount Theater

An "unnameable jam" of pure creativity. Sounds in places like some of the Blues for Allah work three years later, in places like the great shows with the Allman Bros. and in others like they just dialed into and channeled waves from space. Music plays the band here.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 14, 1971
Davis Gym, Bucknell University

Believe it. Everyone is fully on. The sound is perfectly mixed, the jam is souped up and full of muscle. This one goes on my top shelf. And if little itty bits of electrical noise are scaring people off this awesome show, then I'll just have to shake my head and head to the old heads' home. Come on and get up on it folks. Buy the ticket... take the ride.
