Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Super heady, effects-drenched Space that suggests what a fall ’79 Dark Star might’ve sounded like.

Winterland Arena

This really gets cookin’! Keith, Billy, and Jerry seem to be playing little rhythmic games, switching up the accents in interesting ways.

Splendid set closer with delightfully boisterous contributions from Keith and a permeating feeling of real joy.

Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

Rainbow Theater

Jerry's playing is really hot by the end of this extended jam. Recommended.
Weather Report Suite
Oct. 21, 1973
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
June 4, 1977
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!
Promised Land
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

No kidding about the start!
