Summary

This week - the 2nd set of this incredible show from 1974 - 5/19/74 from Portland Oregon. 
There are so many highlights here its impossible to list them all, The Greatest Story is one of the
all-time bests, ditto for the Weather Report into a wondefully Garica-jammed Wharf Rat. 
The Peggy-O is beautiful.. but the Phil-led Truckin' through  Goin' Down the Road Feelin'Bad
is simply  magnificant. I love love love the mind left body jam.. 
This is definitely a time-machine kind of show (meaning I wish I could go back and see it! )
Hope you enjoy it just as much as I do..
