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.

Drums

Parc des Expositions

Honestly I rarely listen to a full Drums, but Billy's playing all evening is really interesting. There are some WoS problems throughout, and you can tell he's giving extra because sometimes he's loudest in the mix. He interacts with everyone and plays really nuances parts, all while holding down a laid-back, so-tight-it's-almost-sloppy groove all night. This drums falls in the middle of a longer, interesting jam, and I'm glad they gave him the spotlight!
Playin' In The Band

Been glad to see so many new folks on the site! Spun this again the other night, and it sounded to me like there's definitely a Dark Star-ish jam in here (both with references to the main riff and in the type of playing they do). Whole show is a must-hear.
