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.

Morning Dew

Augusta Civic Center

I think my head exploded the first time I listened to this one. It's almost not human how intense this bad boy is.
She Belongs To Me
Nov. 1, 1985
Richmond Coliseum

One of the absolute highlights of Jerry's entire output as a guitarist. I teared up at just how beautiful this version is.
El Paso
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

This is my favorite "El Paso." Bob's acoustic guitar adds a very appropriate touch, and the way Jerry and Phil decorate it is fantastic.
Bertha
June 9, 1993
The Palace

Fantastic late day "Bertha." They're really on fire for this one.
Wang Dang Doodle
July 2, 1989
Sullivan Stadium

This version should be at the top. It's unusually spooky and driven, compared to the more relaxed versions that followed.
