Berkeley Community Theatre

Even though it cuts out after 16mins, a really fine 1972 TOO. Worth 16 minutes of anyones time.

Although only part of set 2 seems to exist, great show. Clean,good energy,starting to get that fall 73 jazziness.

I mostly don't rat SOFs from any year other than 74,but this one is still as good as they get post break.

They Love Each Other

Salt Palace

One of the very best of the versions,my own favourite. This is also one of my top 10 shows. A Great, great night when the band was on top of everything. Download the whole show or even better, buy D.P 28(which also has another great night from 2 days before!!!) Love & Metta CB
Weather Report Suite
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

One of my very favourite shows. The WRS is superb,then 28 minutes of JAM-oh so sweet that meanders eventually into what I consider to be THE very very best ever US Blues. Show ends with the best most soulful ever Ship Of Fools. Like Europe 72 and the April-May 77 run, the run from 14/5/74 through to the Winterland on 20/10/74 is just one spectacular show after another.
