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.

Is this the right date, cuse man?
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Long Beach Arena

Holy shit, how was this not on here already?! Great spot!

Nassau Coliseum

Incredible version on its own, and for the transition to "Franklin's."
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

The groove they hit in the middle of that is unreal.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

IMHO, I prefer this one to the two May versions listed above, and the Franklin's is just jubilant. The transitions around and between these tunes are incredible as well.
