Product Description

Some songs are flat-out meant to rock and roll. Chalk Dust Torture is a prime example. One of the most often-played songs since its debut in 1991, Chalk Dust has been a frequent set opener because of its ability to whip a crowd into a frenzy. The lyrics speak of teen angst and rebellion, as the narrator seeks to forego the mind-numbing trappings of adulthood while he still has a few spry years left. While most versions of the song feature "Type-I" jamming and screaming guitar work from Trey, it has also served as a large "Type-II" jam vehicle with increasing frequency over the years.

The first memorable Chalk Dust was on 5/17/91 at the Campus Club in Providence, RI. The power cut off during the song, but Fishman continued playing; when the lights came back on a strong jam ensued. Other memorable early versions include 3/8/93 where a Chalk Dust encore moved into a reprise of a second set Big Ball Jam, and 7/23/93 where the song grew out of a typically angry Big Black Furry Creature from Mars.
