High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Dark Star
May 4, 1972
Olympia Theater

Oh man, this goes very far out - not your entry-level Deadhead Dark Star, no sir. But it has everything: deep space, great melodic return, and a beautiful beautiful jam towards the end of the long strange trip. Am I crazy or does Phil sound like he's ready to dive strait into St. Stephen in the build up at the last second à la 1969? Guess 'twas not to be, alas.
Weather Report Suite
Sept. 20, 1974
Palais Des Sports

The Prelude and part one of the Suite are a bit too loose for my tastes, but the Let it Grow on its own is brilliant.

Show gets dissed a bit for reasons that are lost on me. Here I hear them exploring new sounds, new grooves and new ideas on what was still a young song. Very laid back (no idea nor concern whether related to dope) but sublimely inventive and intricate, reaching harmolodic interplay of collective improv at its best.
Caution
Nov. 6, 1970
Capitol Theater

Hvd sleuth is right. Heady as fuck. Give it a spin - or let it give you one. Goddamn, it's a corker.
The Music Never Stopped

New Haven Coliseum

Outrageous power. This one pushes against all limits.
