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.

Morning Dew
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

I think it lacks some of the nuances of tempo and texture their performances would come to have, but I'm up voting for Jerry's heart-stoppingly emotive vocals.
Me and My Uncle

Winterland Arena

Jerry really captures the cowboy vibe of this, and his playing is hot. Listen to young Bobby.

Love this early blues stuff!

Fantastic version.
Dancin' in the Streets

Winterland Arena

Really hot stuff. Jerry patiently grows several long phrases.
