Indiana Convention Center

Want a deep, heavy, convincingly powerful and authentic Wharf Rat? I usually find those in '84...but here is one that lets you partake in the journey.

Jerry's creaky and weathered voice make this offering from my first show one of my emotional faves.

Brother Esau

Cal Expo

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!
China Doll
Dec. 6, 1992
Knickerbocker Arena

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen
Terrapin Station
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.
The Other One
July 25, 1972
Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.
Bird Song
June 2, 1995
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Total brain-fry meltdown! Amazing gem from an admittedly rough year.
