Wooden and crunchy. Nice interplay between Jerry and Phil. Vince blows little zephyrs.

So much Dead to soothe my soul, and this is some of it. Tight.

Gaelic Park

When the going gets weird, Weir sings the headlight part.

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 11, 1977
Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

This one doesn't have the shimmering lyricism of, say, 5/22/77, but the logic of Jerry's phrasing is a hoot.

The Other One

San Jose Civic Auditorium

Needs to be on the map. Features a jam that seems to be based on Skydog's 'Little Martha' and a nice 'Tiger Jam', but that's not all...

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.
Estimated Prophet

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

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
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Now that's heady! Banana peels, man!
Terrapin Station
Nov. 2, 1977
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.
