The earliest photographic evidence I've seen of Pete
jumping is from one of the June '68 Fillmore West gigs.
A series of photos from Rolling Stone magazine show
him with an SG and both feet in the air. Not one of
his now-classic jumps mind you, but definitely an
airborne Pete.
They also capture Pete climbing (w/guitar) atop the
amp stacks. It appears that, once on top, he let his
instrument crash to the stage below and followed it
with a leap, presumably landing onto the suffering SG.
(The stage floor does not show in the photos).

On *numerous* occasions, the band members have spoken
negatively in regards to their Woodstock performance.
Just what on earth are you talking about?
"I want to hump, want to jump..."
