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."

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.

The Wheel
July 19, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Bit weird that this was the only song they repeated during this stand.
Dark Star
April 1, 1991
Greensboro Coliseum

This version should be waaaaaay higher. The band is locked in, and it goes through just about every mood and color you'd expect out of "Dark Star" jams. Such a complete version. Can hang with 1968-74.
Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

Best version I've heard. Listening now as work quiets down.
Drums -> Space
Oct. 27, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Mickey attacks the beam during this sequence, exceptionally violent stuff. One of the most memorable performances of this combo.
Dark Star
March 20, 1992
Copps Coliseum

The last great one indeed. This whole show is excellent. I really like how Bruce carried the 1991-92 "Dark Star"'s. 1991/09/26 is another great one where he steals the show.
