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.

Truly beautiful version.

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

Keystone

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

Standing On The Moon
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Loved it, but wished Jerry could have taken more extended lines and played with Branford more.
Dark Star
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Great version, stellar musicians.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

One of the most musically interesting things I've ever heard them do. It is wonderful to see what they can do with incredible musicians.
El Paso
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

No worries, djchall, I wasn't being sarcastic. It's Prankster Dead at its finest, and it's why that transition is all time.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Obviously a contender for a top spot, but I give it my vote because of how Winterland sounds here, and how they sound in it.
