High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Weather Report Suite
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Sizzling, up tempo version, and one of the prettiest WRS Part 1s that I remember. After going through the first half of 1970 chronologically these past months, a sudden dip into '73 is just fascinating, showing just how far they transformed themselves in just three or four years. The jazz chops they all brought through and in and out of the country and psychedelic eras are in tremendous flower now. Whadda treat. Mmmmmm, candy.

Blisteringly hot outro here.
Uncle John's Band

Knowing that it's only about 6 months old at this stage is part of the fun. They go through the 7/4 parts with so much gusto, you can just hear how much fun they're having with it.
It's A Man's World

Fillmore West

Exporatory version. Doesn't ever really lift off and they didn't stick with it for long, but on this one they try to stretch it out longer. Result: a simmering hot slow boil. Fun stuff for what is a finally a rarity from the great year 1970. Enjoy.

Stunning power. One can hear throughout the tension and movement back towards Cryptical. Knowing that they would switch focus to the TOO from the CE soon makes this an interesting transitional version. Great show all around.
