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.

AMAZING performance.
Stella Blue
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

This. This is where I GOT "Stella Blue." Amazingly, singularly emotional version.
Scarlet Begonias
July 18, 1989
Alpine Valley

Outstanding, spiritied, uptemp "Scarlet" coming out of a truly hot "Sugar Magnolia." If only they went into "Fire" after, that really would've been ace.
Dark Star
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

Really, really nice DS that stays close to the surface. Expert, fluid jamming throughout.
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Spectacular version. Jerry's vocals are so crisp on this one!
