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.

Deal

Capitol Center

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

Hardly recognisable for anyone familiar with the acoustic versions, but an absolute pleasure.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Memorial Coliseum

Inventive, energetic and fun. A beaut from one of the great months.

Shrine Auditorium

"Burn down the Fillmore gas the Avalon". Did I hear Bobby right around 2:35??? To answer my own question, it appears that Bobby started this as a dig at other venues when they were co-running the Carousel. These lines don't appear on Anthem.
The Eleven
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Pure, clean high-flying jam. Mind-blowing how well they played in 11/4 without spontaneously combusting. Pig's organ never sounded so much like the organ on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". More early traces of the Bard's influence on the boys?
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Great 2nd set, yes, but this Eyes takes it well furthur... It's got everything - blazing, soaring and blisteringly fast. Really tops.
