Dire Wolf

Nassau Coliseum

First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

Vince only - and he does quite a fine job. Jerry helps pack a punch as always

Nice first set choice - Jerry flubs some lyrics but the playing is great. Note that this is a Vince only '91 show and he kills

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Excellent Shakedown - Brent quickly plays the Hammond for a unique start

Blazing hot Jed, must be heard at least once. Even this fragment of a show is amazing
Crazy Fingers

Orlando Arena

Real heady jam heading out of Crazy Fingers and into Playin'
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

So so underrated. Just an excellent early Half-Step with great playing that leads into another Wake of the Flood classic, Stella Blue

Really out there and spacey. Wonderful work from Jerry. Here and there at the same time - a Schrödinger's GSET.
