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.

Playin' In The Band

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

Boston Music Hall

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.

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.
The Other One
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

(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.
