Wharf Rat

Greek Theater

Honored to be the one to submit this one even if I'm shocked it's not here. This is an outstanding version. Brent is spectacular here on all fronts.

Sugar Magnolia
March 23, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Out of "Stella" comes a thrashy, supercharged, cocaine infused "Sugar Magnolia" that's just delightful.

The Other One
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

The Magnificent Seven lineup of 1991 strike again with this trippy little concoction. Flows beautifully into verse 2 of "Dark Star."

Space
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Ferocious beam banging. Disembodied Vader voices. Frightening, unhinged "Space." Leads perfectly back into "Dark Star."

Friend of the Devil
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

Outstanding version with beautiful keyboard work from Brent. Can't believe this one hadn't been posted yet.

17th, not the 16th.
Samson and Delilah

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Scorching.

Sports Arena

Bobby and Jerry are playing against each other in a Wiley Coyote-Roadrunner way. You could feel the tension between them, and it makes for a really interesting, often fun, often tense listen.
Playin' In The Band

Nassau Coliseum

Would love to see this one get more love. Excellent under the radar version.
