Weather Report performing Dr. Honoris Causa
at Montreaux in 1976. Jaco starts to solo
at about 4:50, and although he never
really achieves that continuous "Jaco-flow"
he's so famous for, it's still impressive and
he plays really fast at times.

Here's a better version, although the sound-quality
is not as good:

Jaco's solo starts at 8:04, and it smokes!
This recording is taken from a live performance
Weather Report did at Roxy in 1976.

Here's another version of "Dr.Honoris Causa",
as promised. It's from Seattle, 1977, and
eventually turns into "Directions". It's an
audience-recording, so don't expect too much
from the sound-quality. However, Jaco's solo
can be heard loud and clearly, and the
playing is excellent from a band in peak form:
