|---|---|
|
Possum (10:12)
|
Improvisational jamming is spread throughout, as if in step with the musical ideas flowing from the mind of Trey. |
|
Possum (8:22)
|
Some nice "Manteca" teases/jamming. Mike is really awesome on this one. |
|
Bowie (12:06)
|
Vicious tension and dissonance building. A great short version with teases taboot. |
|
Possum (8:18)
|
Great intro and a nice and different jam with cool staccato picking by Trey. |
|
Tweezer (10:02)
|
Very strong early version. "Dr. Q" on the bass! Trey teases "Sweet Emotion." |
|
Llama (4:42)
|
Unfrickenbelievable. |
|
Brother (6:02)
|
After a gentle, settling "Squirming Coil", we have something akin to a combination of "Carini" and "46 Days" on steroids, except that this "Brother" was performed 6 years before either of those beasts were hatched. |
|
YEM (19:44)
|
Wild VJ. |
|
Hood (13:28)
|
Great and playful intro. The jam is excellent and rocking, and Machine Gun Trey's playing is simply incredible. |
|
It's Ice (8:57)
|
Another version in which the whole band kicks in after letting Page shine briefly. |
|
Fluffhead (14:34)
|
If there is any single section that has tripped up the band over the years, it is The Chase, and this version provides a nearly flawless example, proof that it can be done. Meanwhile, you may notice a bit of a wobble at the end of Who Do? We Do! This song is merciless on the performers. Some awesome and swinging Page and Mike are on display in Clod, and a top notch Arrival features some really sick trilling by Mr. Trey Anastasio. Great performance. |
|
Mike's (7:48)
|
Mike and Fish kick it off nicely, then Trey provides some great variation in his playing, including some rapid-fire trilling. The short 2nd jam gets intense and electrifying, with more solid machine gun action from Trey. |
|
Weekapaug (4:57)
|
Very cool jam, with a "Jimmy Crack Corn" tease/jam, then a -> to "Wait", which is excellent and includes a "Call To The Post" tease, followed by a -> back to "Weekapaug" to wrap up an improvisational and excellent version. |
|
Wait (1:45)
|
-> in from an excellent "Weekapaug." Great version of "Wait" with a "Call To The Post" tease and -> back to "Weekapaug." |
|
Weekapaug (3:39)
|
-> in from an excellent "Wait" sandwich to wrap up a great and entertaining "Weekapaug." |
|
McGrupp (9:22)
|
Trey and Mike offer great backing to Page, especially Mike as the jam section progresses, and Fish keeps the engine clicking along nicely throughout. |
|
Divided (16:45)
|
Outstanding version, an anomaly that jams far longer than any other performance prior to 10/31/94. Of course Trey is blistering here, but this also has a distinctly quiet, settled section that anticipates the band's less rocking, more restrained sound in the later '90s. |
|
SOAMelt (9:35)
|
Very cool and exploratory jam includes a nice quiet section and some good, rhythm-oriented jamming. |
|
Possum (10:39)
|
Great tension building, multiple peaks and shredding Trey in a roaring "Possum." |
|
Bowie (13:28)
|
Jam starts in a quiet, pensive style, but picks up a head of steam, getting nasty and intense. |
|
Foam (9:38)
|
Awesome build-up section with Machine Gun Trey taking a strong lead position. |
|
Stash (10:16)
|
Great, inspired version which gets out there and has very good Fish/Trey teaming. |
|
Mike's (9:22)
|
Beginning with excellent "Walk This Way" jamming, the energy builds up to the first break. After a momentary cloud of dissonance, a percussive, exploratory groove expands nicely. A great version with 2 equally strong jams. |
|
Avenu Malkenu (9:40)
|
Blistering, ripping version. Trey is sick! |
Jam chart versions are selected because of improvisational and other characteristics that distinguish these from typical versions of the song.
