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.

Stella Blue
Sept. 8, 1990
Coliseum

Jerry is playing this one for Brent.
The Other One
June 19, 1994
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

This one's awesome. It can hang with 3/27/94 and 3/20/92 as one of the best late era "Other One"'s. This whole second set is awesome.
Eyes Of The World
March 20, 1991
Capital Centre

10/17/94 is not better than this one.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Do not go to this one if you want to hear mind busting peaks with flamethrower solos from Jerry. What makes this one shine is its subtlety, but more importantly the tight rhythmic dynamic between Phil, Bruce and the drummers.
Casey Jones
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

Would've been first since 3/27/93 at the Knick.
