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.

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

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.
