By '88 I was always jonesin' for new/different songs, and had no problem with "Victim", although my taste is apparently less discriminating than some. ;-) Heard it a few nights later at SPAC.

Almost the entire crowd at Metro Sports Arena stopped dead when they started paying that first Victim. I loved it.

Went to a show with a non-dead head chick who I really liked. She left the show during Victim and I never heard from her again. Guess some people really hate the song.

Never a favorite of mine
Never really a favorite of mine either but it could indeed delivery some chaotic and heavy stuff in it's wake. I particularly like the Victim>Standing from 03.21.90 and Victim>Darkstar from 12.31.89 - two shows I was fortunate enough to see live and I am sure there are others as well.

My first Victim was at Laguna
My first Victim was at Laguna Seca 07/30, first song in the second set. The deep bass shook the ground (I think that was Brent doing that). I (barely) remember feeling dazed and confused, due to a number of factors...

My first post ever on the
My first post ever on the Zone, almost 22 years ago, went something like this: Victim was a new sound for the Dead, but it was uniquely Grateful Dead. Although they wrote some great songs in the later years, Victim was also one of the few that was a new and different sound.
I still stand by that.
