Weather Report Suite

William and Mary College Hall

Surprised this isn't listed yet. This version is by far the best with the horns, with Jerry and Martin really getting into it with some fiery leads!

Cryptical Envelopment
June 5, 1969
Fillmore West

Monster reprise, one of the longest and best ever.

Scarlet Begonias
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

Unusual and fiery version making up the meat of an otherworldly Playin' sandwich.

Cryptical Envelopment

Fillmore West

Without question, the best Crypt reprise ever performed. This one reaches the limits of space and time.

Scarlet Begonias

Cow Palace

First ever Scarlet Begonias. Very unusual sound with a very tentative, bluesy feel, but it's still a keeper and worth hearing for the novelty at least

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

This is actually 12/18/73. But good version none the less.

Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa

Easily one of the best of the '80s. How is this not more well known!?

Fox Theatre

Indeed this is underrated. Fantastic version.
Eyes Of The World

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

This is a good one. Feb '73 Eyes have a unique vibe since they are still working out the ending.

Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

This is possibly the highest energy version you'll ever hear, moving at Warp 10 (at least) with some MONSTER Garcia shred-age and huge power chords. Stunning.
