Deal

Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

Brimming with confidence, this version has noticeable snap /-

Samson and Delilah

These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

The old encore favorite is executed with both ease and precision. Clean, bright Brokedown here.

A very strong, well-jammed version for the era.

Great jamming in the outro, and a lot of fire in the song proper. Terrific second set opener.
Eyes Of The World
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

While I don't think this is among the strongest of the year, the end jam sequence is amazing (it really shone all year long).
Weather Report Suite
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

The climactic Let It Grow jam seems to hint at Caution... or at least I would describe it as Caution-esque. Only wish it were longer.
Big River

Dillon Stadium

What Keith and Jerry and Phil achieve during the final bridge is mind-scrambling -- showcases the best of the '74 sound.
