Wharf Rat
June 16, 1985
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."
4
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.

Give Vince credit - he's terrific here. Rockin' version.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Richfield Coliseum

We all know why this was played.

Richfield Coliseum

Vinny's tone in the early shows is really great and reminds me of the 1960s' surf rock sound.

Jerry is also in pretty strong shape vocally. A little tired but clear and soulful.

Coliseum

The "Shakedown" from the 10th is a monster worth checking out!
