Beat it on Down The Line

Boston Garden

Not just high-energy but a little manic and dangerous. Listen for some sneaky fills by Keith.

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.
