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.

Here Comes Sunshine
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Wonderful version, and I concur with above on all counts.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Them doing Dylan covers for these last few years pays off tonight.
Turn On Your Love Light
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Odd juxtaposition of Branford making parts of this 1950s rock and roll, and Bobby doing some Pig rap.
Dark Star

Nassau Coliseum

Much less the jam. The Drums > Space into the second verse? This is definitely why this is here.

Nassau Coliseum

This is seriously good. Should be ranked higher because of the energy in the crowd alone.
