With Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter welcoming Jaco Pastorius and Peter Erskine into the fold in the second half of the ’70s, these jazz-rock trailblazers entered their most ambitious, successful period. That’s the era captured in these 4 CDs of unreleased live performances. Longtime mixing engineer Brian Risner provided these soundboard recordings, which showcase the dazzling directions this mighty unit took these compositions in concert: their hit "Birdland" plus "Black Market," "Scarlet Woman," "Elegant People," "Port of Entry," "Madagascar," "Fast City," "A Remark You Made," "Gibraltar," "8:30," "Sightseeing," "The Orphan," "Forlorn" and more including solos by Wayne and Jaco and a Joe/Wayne duet from Tokyo in ’78. You’ll hear hours of live, unheard Weather Report at the peak of their powers! Sony Legacy.
