Original comments: "1-'There has been some debate previously about the place/venue for a Feb 24 show in 1980.
Curt Bianchi’s excellent website www.weatherreportdiscography.... gives Feb 24, 1980 Warfield Theater San Francisco, CA for this day and year. Having said, I still would like to listen to this. It could be an entirely new WR show!'; 2-'For this date I have the following:
Weather Report 1980-02-24 Warfield Theatre, San Francisco (TapeTyrant Archive Series Volume 4) Complete 1st Gen'; 3-'Same here; 4-'And that's the one you need.
I'm pretty sure I had this one from years ago marked as being from Atlanta.
They're all from the same original more or less. None are audience.'; 5-'I've grown to trust the Bianchi WR listing of shows played, so I expect that the San Francisco location is correct for this date.
Beyond that, goody did a really nice work-up of this with 1980-02-24 as the date and San Fran as the location a while back. That included the additional track of Forlorn/Rockin in Rhythm/Birdland. I think goody's show came in part from jazamo and agalli. Then came the tapetyrant one, which is apparently the whole show. That was shared less than a year ago.'; "

Pastorius's playing: so distinct, but understated.

that Port of Entry was so epic, so much power and speed but Joe's different almost delicate solos with amazing tone was awesome!
