Let It Grow

Personally, I think there are better '77 versions of Let It Grow than the DeKalb one that stands at #1 currently. This one, however, stands miles above all of those. Jerry channels Zeus for this, Jesus H. Christ, he's on, they all are. While I love the 3/14/90 LIG, Jer does make the jump to MIDI halfway in the jam. On this night, it's pure Tiger and as has been noted, he doesn't miss a beat. If this had the exposure of some of the other versions on this site, there's no question where it would sit. I always find the top 5, of any song, is often not entirely accurate, most of the "top" versions are releases, or Cornell or Veneta. At any rate, this is liquid gold and hopefully the show gets a much-deserved release.
