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."
4
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.

Blow Away
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This has nothing on the "Samba in the Rain" from Cornell.
Dark Star
May 30, 1969
Springer's Inn

Never thought there would be a "Dark Star" not added yet.
One More Saturday Night
March 28, 1981
Grugahalle

Mark my words: this is the best post-1972 "OMNS." The riffs are on target, the vocals are great. Excellent version.
Good Lovin'
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Yea, this one is outstanding. Great solo from Jerry, too.
Walking Blues
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

All of Bobby's mid-1980s' blues songs started off slow and raunchy then got faster and more laid back and generic.
