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."

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.

Not often you see Sugar Magnolia split like this.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Band lit up Merriweather these two nights.
He's Gone
Sept. 16, 1990
Madison Square Garden

This is an awesome version. Second one after Brent's death. Deeply felt with pinpoint emotion. Great version.

The Spectrum

16 minute version with a Dark Star-esque post jam.
He's Gone
Sept. 11, 1990
The Spectrum

Vince actually sounds a bit like early Brent in the vocals.
