Cafe au Go-Go

OK, this is really a submission for the following Seven jam. But that on its own should make this the most popular Rag.

Springfield Civic Center

The way every member weaves together in Jerry's second solo is so perfect it seems pre-orchestrated. Pristine.

Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Beautiful jam out of the main ten, and the tighten up here is particularly groovy with a crazy percussive climax, transitioning perfectly back into the main Dancin' riff. Up there with Harper, I believe
Weather Report Suite

Wow, this jam really is a monster. It takes you to so many places without meandering too much, very high energy, Billy killing it...a new favorite
