My favorite weather report song. I love the way it builds up and falls apart over and over again. There is an indescribable atmosphere right from the start that is familiar yet alien. Perfection.

All about the section from 4.40 onwards . . . Goosebumps.

one of the most underrated songs by Shorter. I love the build up. I wish they would have played this track live more, it would have been interesting to hear jaco play on this.

@timages 13 - I believe that Sweetnighter represented something transcendent in the world and for the band. I saw the band in '74, same lineup, and my memory of that night recalls a kind of magic that was demonstrated by Jimi, Cream, Miles, and maybe 1 or 2 others - I saw all of the above live. I didn't like Weather Report's other albums.

@kountzer you have to listen to each one individually; thats the greatest part of WR, each album is its own journey from track to track

@kountzer It happens to my favorite as well! Sweetnighter to me had just the right tenor in it's compositions and the rawness in some of its playing. When you listen to their latter albums they sound so over produced. It also has these great leaps, these totally different sounding pieces with some real gems like: Will, Non Stop Home, and one of my all time favorites 125th Street Congress. Sadly the creativity they displayed in Sweetnighter could not sustain itself in their latter work.
I thought I was the only person who knew of and appreciated this song. I know WR is acclaimed for other music projects and compositions, but this is my favorite.
The first time I heard it on the radio back around '73 I said "whoa, wait a miniute!" who is that?" When I found out I bought the album. They had albums back in those days, lol. Anyway, thanks for posting this.
