Stash (8:35)
|
Great version where the notion of the standard "Stash" jam is tested repeatedly. Trey moves horizontally in his melody rather than vertically several times which adds good tension. |
|
Mike's (8:06)
|
A less dissonant, more melodic approach to the jam began to flourish in April '92, and this version is a great example. The jam here is very rocking and percussive, while the 2nd jam makes good use of tension, but without so much chaos and shrill dissonance. |
|
Weekapaug (9:49)
|
The first segment begins in familiar style but also includes an atypically tense movement to go along with impressive straightforward jamming. Then, a settled, quieter section develops in the middle before blasting back into "Weekapaug" proper and closing with a vocal jam. |
|
Mango (7:00)
|
Oh HELL yeah! Among the earliest versions to jam. |
|
Runaway Jim (7:20)
|
> "Cold as Ice", this hot show-closer features playful and melodic Trey, with a pinch of verve, and a whole lot of swagger. Pushing boundaries, the version lays the foundation for future jamming here, there, or anywhere. |
|
Stash (10:51)
|
The jam leaves the standard behind, comes back, leaves again on a different tangent, and finally returns to wrap up. |
|
Magilla (3:52)
|
A strong, surprise version (the first in 114 shows), Trey glides through a "Stash" tease, and, true to the era, incorporates somewhat experimental playing, featuring a great shuffling, percussive sound. Page's first "Magilla" on acoustic piano is definitely worth hearing, it sounds fantastic. |
|
Mike's (9:16)
|
Strong Mike in a somewhat dissonant 1st jam. The 2nd jam is the first of several '93s which have jamming similar to the future "Simple." This one also has some good stop/start action, before more dissonant Trey and a percussive lead up to the closing. |
|
Weekapaug (9:34)
|
Great little "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" jam/tease, followed by a breakdown with exceptionally strong playing by Fish and a vocal jam-style ending. |
Jam chart versions are selected because of improvisational and other characteristics that distinguish these from typical versions of the song.
