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.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Best reminder that they're a really, really good rock band.
Spanish Jam
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Just listening for the first time now... What a ride!
Dark Star
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Powerful version! [edit:] I think the first half of the DS gets super trippy, I like it. I dig the whole sequence, but the jam, of course.
Dark Star

Ohio Theatre

Great version, with something for everyone.
Wharf Rat
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

The solo is one of my favorite Jerry moments from a month full of them. He's confident enough to attempt and land a solo that gets pretty far out at times.
