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.

Comes A Time
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Jerry's weathered voice is great here, but his solos, oh man the solos, killer emotional stuff.
Estimated Prophet
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Completely epic version. Except for 12/16/94, I enjoy this even more than the ones with Branford. They let Murray do a lot more and he takes charge during the jam.
Wang Dang Doodle
June 28, 1992
Deer Creek Music Center

What are your top two? 3/20 and 12/16?
Eyes Of The World
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Maybe the best post-Hornsby version. Relaxed groove, beautiful work from Jerry.
He's Gone
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Still my go-to version. They are absolutely singing this for Brent. No other version has such an emotional pull for me. A perfect version.
