The second half starts off with Promised Land, and, with it, the band seems to shake off some of the soporific feel of the early going. The Bertha, Greatest Story, and Row Jimmy that come out next are all top shelf, especially the GSET. But the real fireworks are just around the corner, starting with the Weather Report Suite. Jerry is as good as ever, but what makes it a really special version is Bobby’s guitar work, which sets up some fabulous interplay between the two of them, pushing them both to greater heights. A jazzy Dark Star follows on the WRS’s heels, keeping the theme for a while before heading into the outer reaches of the galaxy and, eventually, ceding it all to Drums. Billy does not solo for very long, and the boys comes back, flipping a switch right into Eyes. It is probably the most jammed out song of the night, alternatively driving and exploring. At one point, Jerry seems to have broken a string, leading Bobby and Phil to go off completely. In the midst of it all, they suddenly drop into a splendid Wharf Rat. And after that, like so many shows from the era, the boys go out on a smoking Sugar Mags, coming back out for a final Uncle John’s. ’73 has so many great shows, so it is hard to say this is the best, but it is certainly in the conversation.
