Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the other punchy, galloping ’77s.

Alexandra Palace

If you’re like me, you love the intensity of these ’74 Jack Straws. This one is not to be missed.

Swinging funk akin to a ’73 TLEO. Different and sharply played.

Jerry’s playing with amazing ease and fluidity. One shimmering melody after another.

Boston Garden

Played fast, sounding almost triumphant. Very cleanly played with some attention-grabbing Jerry.

Jerry's playing is really hot by the end of this extended jam. Recommended.
Weather Report Suite

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Let It Grow jam builds to a wicked Caution-like inferno. Ridiculously good.
Let It Grow
July 6, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Relentless, exploratory, and smokin’ hot.
Not Fade Away

The Forum

Today I learned that, at double speed, NFA can sound like the insanely jammed-out Minglewood that never was. Check out this version to hear what I mean. Brilliant show all around, and the AUD is pretty excellent!

Berkeley Community Theatre

No kidding about the start!
