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.

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.

Wild space.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

All around great show from a great run of shows. This China quickly moves into a IKYR-feel, then a great Feeling Groovy Jam. The Rider is stunningly good and the music just lifts off and takes wing.

Even by '73 standards this is hotter than hot. Listen to the whole concert: Not one clunker.

Top form '73 in a spectacular show from first note to finish. Truckin'>TOO>IKYR just mindbending. First set is a shitkickin' country bender. All good.

Totally overlooked concert.
