This is worth 18 minutes of your life.

Long Beach Arena

Perhaps its uniqueness prevents it from EPIC status but listen to how obtuse this thing is.

San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Something for everyone here: lush aural quiltwork, bass solo, and a 'Feelin' Groovy' segment which is followed by tight abstractions

Palace Theater

Laid-back yet rich and full. Well worth a listen!!!

Both more nuanced and multi-textured than your typical PITB jam. Great stuff!!!

Weather Report Suite
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

Ain't no suite, but sure as hell the maiden voyage of the signifier of what many must connote with it. Stands as the 'Prelude' to a DS that I've learned to love in a sequence that's as unique as they come, really.
Truckin'
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

Dick didn't pick his 'Truckin''s lightly. This and that from his Vol. 7 are both way better than the current votes show.

(Several posts of this needed to get to properly edited descriptor. iPad's fault, let's say.) This little version was listened to numerous times over the course of my still-ongoing little thing where I listen to only purchased Dead, trying to go in deep on some revisits.
Playin' In The Band
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Keeps getting better with each listen.
The Wheel
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

'The Wheel' is an oddly little elusive tune, but I've caught some nice glimpses of this one. Much of this show seems to nicely ripen with repeated listens.
