Jam Chart for shows in the city of State College, PA (10 entries)
| Date | Song | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1994-04-08 | State College, PA | 12:15 | Nothing recreational here, Trey, exiting the song proper, dominates. After simply spraying the space with impossibly open, yet concentrated sound, play (7:00) momentarily grinds to inform cool, droning, near-thematic improvisation. Not for long. As if broken down to rebuild, Trey whips the band into a frenzy, picking up not just where this version left off, but, rather, where "Melt" jamming had stood, historically, peaking (Aug. 93). Insane, must-hear Trey play. | |
| 1994-04-08 | State College, PA | 5:46 | Second set jam vehicle. First ever "Digital Delay Loop" jam is performed, followed by a rocking and extended "It's Ice" jam. Must-hear version. | |
| 1994-04-08 | State College, PA | 1:37 | -> in from "It's Ice." The debut of the "Digital Delay Loop" jam is performed at the beginning of the "Ice" jam. -> back to "It's Ice" for more excellent "Ice"-type jamming. | |
| 1994-04-08 | State College, PA | 7:19 | -> in from the debut of the "Digital Delay Loop" jam. A rocking and excellent "Ice" jam follows the "DDL" jam. | |
| 1994-04-08 | State College, PA | 12:27 | Begins with a nice bouncy groove, things settle into quiet, subtle playing, then Trey & Co. build to a textbook finale. | |
| 1994-04-08 | State College, PA | 11:19 | Like 1993, the band starts 1994 with an uninterrupted string of improvisational "Bowies." This one has a very cool, exploratory jam, but not so jarring and dissonant as most of the '93s. | |
| 1996-10-17 | State College, PA | 12:20 | Guitar/vocal response by Trey. "DEG" -like jamming in Page's second solo by Page and Trey > klezmer and chanting. | |
| 1997-12-09 | State College, PA | 11:58 | The single jam has a funky bent at first. After working through some typical terrain, the funk comes back, especially after 8:30 when the jam takes on a "BEK"-like vibe, accentuated by some nice stop/start action. | |
| 1997-12-09 | State College, PA | 29:32 | The jam that emerges begins subtly, then grows some legs as Fish and Mike kick the funk into gear before morphing back into a quiet, contemplative jam. Extremely improvisational version. Seamless segue sounds at first like a move to "Bowie" but becomes "Timber" instead. | |
| 1997-12-09 | State College, PA | 7:44 | Segue -> in from a 30 minute "Simple," this version restores the jam to its typical place of darkness, and has an almost '95 psychedelic feel to it, with Fish kicking the percussion into heavier action. |
