Jam Chart for Big Black Furry Creature from Mars (10 entries)

Date City Timing Notes
1992-03-13 Providence, RI 3:14 -> in from "Antelope." A crazy and humorous version with Hawaiian and Three Stooges humor and other good stuff -> back to "Antelope" to conclude this incredible version.
1994-05-16 Los Angeles, CA 1:41 -> in from "RLAA." Crazy "Type II" version buried inside an awesome and improvisational "Type II" "Antelope." -> back to "RLAA."
1994-07-13 Patterson, NY 5:06 -> in from "Tweezer." "BBFCFM" is sandwiched in this "Tweezer" jam.
1994-11-22 Columbia, MO 7:02 -> in from "Runaway Jim." WILD version with extra screaming, silliness, profanity, and a bluegrass ending.
1994-12-01 Salem, OR 3:42 -> in from "Tweezer." First in a medley of songs which ultimately -> back to "Tweezer."
1997-12-11 Rochester, NY 8:11 Wild version that segues out of Roses Are Free. It's highly improvisational in that after about 3 mins of "normal" (so to speak) BBFCFM, a Sturm-und-Drang, plodding jam evolves and trudges along for a few minutes, and then the band drops out as Trey sustains a note, then a chord, and, well, nothing much happens for a minute or so, and then Trey counts-off and Ghost begins.
2003-07-15 West Valley City, UT 1:54 -> in from "Low Rider" as the segue-fest out of "Mr. Completely" starts to take shape. -> to "Buried Alive."
2003-07-15 West Valley City, UT 0:54 -> in from "Buried Alive" for more crazy "BBFCFM" action. > to "Ha Ha Ha."
2003-07-15 West Valley City, UT 0:39 > in from "Ha Ha Ha" for one more crazed bite of "BBFCFM." > back to "Mr. Completely."
2022-07-29 Raleigh, NC 2:55 The verses are played in a new arrangement, as @Sniff notes, perhaps more in the style of Dead Kennedy's than Husker Du, and gives this version a classic proto hardcore breakdown sound.
