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.
2
Sugar Magnolia
March 23, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Out of "Stella" comes a thrashy, supercharged, cocaine infused "Sugar Magnolia" that's just delightful.
3
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."
5
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.

Shakedown Street

Giants Stadium

Bobby delivers his flubs so confidently I don't even mind. Can't get enough of summer 1989. Or the whole year, really.
Dire Wolf
July 2, 1995
Deer Creek Music Center

Sung with good hearted sense of irony. This and "Speedway" are the two best moments from this show.
New Speedway Boogie
July 2, 1995
Deer Creek Music Center

Jerry's sending a message here. Loud and clear.
New Speedway Boogie
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

Like getting hit by a train. Throttled.
New Speedway Boogie
Oct. 15, 1994
Madison Square Garden

This is an excellent version. One of the two or three best of the 1991-95 revival.
