12 minutes of '77 magic from an under rated show

Orpheum Theatre

Sweet Jerry vocals. A delicate ship setting sail into the post 1974 seas. Good harmonies from Bob and Donna. An overlooked show from an overlooked yea

One of best of 1974. Tight, Jerry inventive and confident, good soloing. Everything a Deal should be. Give it a listen.

Comes out of a MLB jam, a big fat mellow groove sets out what is one of those weeks of really good versions.

They Love Each Other

One of my personal favourites ,though I like the sound from the April-June '77 shows.
Weather Report Suite
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

A good version from an overall good show. Listen to the Sounboard/Scott Clugson/Leigh Orf show on I.A much better sound than Dick's Picks. The whole show in fact.
Deal
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

"You can sure tell the one's who won their tickets!" A great Deal, good giuitar licks from Jerry and lovely piano fills, melodic and Bouncy rhythm support from Bobby and Phil and Billy -Yup a good Deal all around
Morning Dew
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

This whole show is very solid and one of the less well known shows from this tour. In any other tour, it would be getting raves,but given just how many great shows there are it's easy to understand. However, give the whole show a try,I think you'll like it.
