Wharf Rat

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.

Dark Star
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

People pay so much attention to the Kesey rap, it's easy to ignore that this "Dark Star" itself is pretty spectacular: very spacey meltdown. Also, the last split version and the last one where both verses were played in the same show.
Let It Grow
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Excellent version.
The Other One
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Did we just declare war? Phil's bombs are frightening here. Monster version.
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 16, 1994
Sports Arena

Just listened to this one last night. This one should be way higher. A truly out there version; this is the "Estimated" equivalent of the Miami '89 "Dark Star." It's terrifying at points.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 8, 1992
Richfield Coliseum

This is an absolutely fantastic late day China Cat -> Rider and should be way higher. It just ROARS!
