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.

Hot and short. Unreal how sure Jerry is on all these leads.

I'll come right out and say it, this is one of the best band interplays I have ever heard. Archive comments talk about Jerry being low in the mix, and I think it's also a purposeful move on his part to bring his volume down because the band is absolutely cooking. Solid efforts from Brent, Phil, and Mickey's cyclic patterns especially, but the whole group is simply locked in.

Incredible version. Manor Downs has long been my go to '82 "S > F," but I'm reconsidering this now.
Let It Grow
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

This is a serious version. The song never really clicked for me till now. Check it out. (edit) This is incredible. The whole show has a weird quirk about it that I love, and this as a powerful set I ender is part of it.
