Fillmore East

This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

Lesh is in zesty form from the drop of the flag and Garcia's solo is underpants drawer!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Dave says "off the fucking hook" or something really similar. You see me arguing? You don't. No. You. Don't.
Weather Report Suite

Portland Memorial Coliseum

Patience Grasshopper. This is one of my favorite WRS jaunts ever. A big reason: Godchaux's Rhodes. Hypnotic. During Garcia's slide solo? Fucking forget about it! The rest of the group acquits itself quite nicely. Due a raise.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

I don't hear how the Help is in any way deficient. Garcia's practically skating on the Bean and the drums are synced and killer - especially Kruetzmann.

Dane County Coliseum

Garcia laying it on thick. Declarative, decisive, a cooler full of hooks.
