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."
5
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.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Great final solo. Wailing.
Feel Like A Stranger
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

This whole show smokes from end to end.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 14, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Vince unfortunately hurts this one; his keyboard sounds are absolutely grating and it seems like the band is trying to get away from them as fast as possible (Jerry especially). The result is a rushed version that never catches any heat.
China Doll
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

1991 and 1993 were great years for "China Doll."
Crazy Fingers
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

Sweeter than sweet. Just an absolutely flawless rendition. Jerry is spinning gold.
