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.

Playin' In The Band
Nov. 30, 1980

Mine too. I'd go so far as to say f the comparisons– good is good, and the band wasn't trying to recreate their earlier sound, but create a new one each time. There's some stellar interplay here, and the recording quality is fantastic. Also the ending section and transition into "Drums" is quite lovely.
