Drums -> Space

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Billy and Mickey play together like they were a big octopus on this one. 'The Wheel' comes rolling nicely out of 'Space'. Altogether, a G-rated D>P.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

An '82 vintage Playin' sandwich that finds the boys playin' in fine form. DP 32.

Jerry really belts this one out. All of the attention to detail that you'd expect in a version from this era plus a good bridge solo.

An enjoyable listen, but most notable, I'd say, for an excellent little peak that rises up like a volcano towards the end of the jam.

They Love Each Other

A good, light and airy version that shows quite well what this song was up to near the end of its first year in the rotation.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
April 22, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

The Mosque show is great but, really, come on, is this version really that much less substantial? The one critique of this one could be that it is less sharp than certain others after the vocals in 'Supplication'--but the pre-vocals 'Supplication' jam is maybe as good as any.

Absolutely, the mid jam is hot and well-captured on the tape. The outro is not as eloquent as, say, the 2/3/78 version, but is fine nevertheless.
The Other One
June 12, 1970
Civic Auditorium

Same day that Dock Ellis threw his famous no-hitter.
Weather Report Suite

Public Hall

Now that's heady! Banana peels, man!
Terrapin Station

Field House - Seneca College

It's not easy for me to really differentiate between many of the versions of this tune from this era, but I do like what Keith, Bobby and the drummers brought to this one.
