Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Cal Expo

MIDI Horn fest on Jerry's end + the Vince synths make this an interesting MSWM. Carrying over the tame energy from the Eyes beforehand. Solo Vince

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
June 25, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre

Excellent dueling keyboard version - Bruce on accordion and Vince on the synths. I love the Brent versions with the B3, but the keys fit well here

Stagger Lee
May 10, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry repeats "Look out Stagger Lee" with quite a bit of fervor at the end, excellent version. Entire band is locked into high gear

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

To add to the previous comment, the intro here is so unique and spacey its frankly amazing. An overlooked yet fantastic Eyes all in all Edit: Truly a dark Eyes - something lurking in its depths. Also one of the best vocally from this period IMO
Weather Report Suite
Sept. 20, 1974
Palais Des Sports

The Let it Grow is one of the best I've heard - *very* Keith + Phil centric
Smokestack Lightnin'
Aug. 17, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Arguably one of the best Smokestacks in regards to how the band plays off of each other, especially Vince and Bruce
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Absolutely tremendous; simultaneously tight af and laid back. Exemplary stuff
Shakedown Street
May 12, 1981
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

May of '81 is a sacred month, rare second set LLR to boot
