Oakland Auditorium

Unless I'm very much mistaken, this is the premiere of Tiger.

There are some nice moments in the show before this, but it really takes off around here.

The bass cut at the start of this is a tragedy. Still a great version.

I know this is JGB, but it's one of the best versions and absolutely needs to be listed.

Friend of the Devil
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

Worth an up vote for the stage banter that follows, much less the music.
Me and My Uncle
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

Listen with the NRPS set in between the early and late Dead sets for full psychedelic cowboy effect.
Not Fade Away
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

Wanted to add another comment. This has some great moments in the NFA material itself, and also in the "Mountain Jam"-style section that follows. After that, Garcia rips off riffs that sound like the belong to the transitions of those stellar '72 –> Riders. If you like good Jerry, give it a spin.
Easy Wind
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

This set is justifiably well known for the massive sequence that follows this tune, but the NFA>Wind is also top shelf. Worth a dust-off if it's been a while.
Tennessee Jed
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Yes yes yes. You really hear Jerry searching for something with this one.
