Wonderful Greatest Story with EVERYONE on. Comes out of a hot Alabama. The mix shines everyone through well, and is a classic early Brent version

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
