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.

Hard to Handle
April 27, 1971
Fillmore East

Hot shit (and that "Okie" is too funny, given the context). It's been on my list, but I haven't heard anything from this run before. Can't wait to tuck in after hearing this!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Hot and light at the same time. Some deadly thumps from Phil too!
Here Comes Sunshine

San Diego International Sports Arena

Some nice playing! Have yet to hear a '73 "HCS" that's not worth a listen.

Totally agree, and there's some beautiful music during the transition. Grendel, you heard this yet?
Let It Grow

Buckeye Lake Music Center

Hell yeah! It's a thick version with everyone going off on it at once. And listen to Bob go!
