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.

Probably won't hold much for the older Heads, but I like it.

Hornsby always makes Jerry sing better. Here's the AUD I've been loving: https://archive.org/details/gd1991-06-14.sennME80.wklitz.94371.flac16

Nice groove on this one. I need to check out the rest of this show!

Uptown Theater

I like the relaxed tempo, and it lets the band get funky. The vocals are (uncharacteristically) good, and Brent is exploring a wide range of sounds and colors that help this version pop. Wish there wasn't a cut in the solo! Nice call on this one.

Greek Theatre - University of California

Hey Grendel, thanks for the recommendation! One of my first tapes was the 7/31 Manor Downs show, so I'm a big fan of the '82 shows. I'll check it out!
