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.

Great vocal outro—listen to Brent! The jam is also several minutes of nasty funk.

Maybe they're arguing that if they *had* played it, it would have been the best? Maybe there's a mysterious "lost set" out there with an even longer Dark Star? "I heaad a clip of it once, mannnn, it was killer."

Public Hall
