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.

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

Some great high harmony from Phil on this Rider.

Has it all. This set is just outrageously perfect.
Dark Star

Winterland Arena

Never drifts or waddles, just lifts off and flies away on a long and beautiful journey across it all and back again.
Weather Report Suite

Winterland Arena

LIG on its own is up there with the most interesting and beautiful ones ever.
High Time
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

First one in six years (09/1970). Very pretty and beautifully harmonised. You know, Donna gets so little love here, but listen up here and you'll hear something of what the boys heard in her.
