Jerry's solo to close this one out is hard-driving and aggressive.

This particular version of this particular universe doesn't have a better one than this.

Well worth a listen. Sloppy and tight all at once.

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

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.
