Deal
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

Auditorium Theatre

Such a pure, sparkling, exuberant version. I’m in love.
Playin' In The Band
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

I’m with the yeasayers on this one. This magnificent version is perhaps my favorite of the year. It stays remarkably engaging throughout. Several of its individual jamming episodes alone would put this one high on the list, but taken together? This is the real deal.
Weather Report Suite
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Includes some jamming in D before the transition to China Doll. Stellar version from an A-grade show.
Ramble On Rose
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

The execution here is just about pristine.
