Submissions

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.
2
Sugar Magnolia
March 23, 1981
Rainbow Theatre

Out of "Stella" comes a thrashy, supercharged, cocaine infused "Sugar Magnolia" that's just delightful.
3
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.

Comments

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 27, 1991
Nassau Coliseum

This could do with some more votes. One of the more interesting transition jams I've heard from this period. Unique stuff going on throughout "Fire," too. Meanders at points, but still really solid.
Big River
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Brent absolutely murders his keys here. Great version.
Good Lovin'
May 26, 1995
Memorial Stadium

Jerry's MIDI solo is a hoot.
Stella Blue
June 28, 1988
Saratoga Performing Arts Center

"Stella Dew." Hell of a peak.
Box of Rain
Jan. 25, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Jerry plays an absolutely superb solo on this one.
