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

Very hot Samson coming out of Eyes. Check out the transition from Eyes into Samson, will not disappoint

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

Wharf Rat
Oct. 16, 1974
Winterland Arena

Very jazzy Wharf Rat, possibly best of '74?
Wharf Rat

Cow Palace

Best wharf intro? At least of '73-'74 period?
Foolish Heart
Aug. 13, 1991
Cal Expo

Arguably one of the most solid versions of Foolish on every level imaginable
Dear Mr. Fantasy
July 6, 1984
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 28, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

The jam in between is to die for - might be my favorite S>F from the mid 80's. + Bobby is just killing it. The SBD mix is perfect
