Throwing Stones
May 25, 1993
Cal Expo

VERY rare Throwing Stones that isn't the second to last set closer - goes straight into a solid GDTRFB

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 20, 1983
The Centrum

Awesome Eyes, with what appears to be Jerry playing Bobby's licks in the very beginning - AUD only but spectacular nonetheless

Playin' In The Band
March 12, 1981
Boston Garden

Petrified that I'm the first to nominate this - DO NOT SKIP JUST BECAUSE ITS AN AUD - Awesome Playin' that dissolves into a spectacular He's Gone

Eyes Of The World
Sept. 21, 1974
Palais Des Sports

To add to the previous comment, the intro here is so unique and spacey its frankly amazing. An overlooked yet fantastic Eyes all in all Edit: Truly a dark Eyes - something lurking in its depths. Also one of the best vocally from this period IMO
Weather Report Suite
Sept. 20, 1974
Palais Des Sports

The Let it Grow is one of the best I've heard - *very* Keith + Phil centric
Smokestack Lightnin'
Aug. 17, 1991
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Arguably one of the best Smokestacks in regards to how the band plays off of each other, especially Vince and Bruce
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Absolutely tremendous; simultaneously tight af and laid back. Exemplary stuff
Shakedown Street
May 12, 1981
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

May of '81 is a sacred month, rare second set LLR to boot
