Review by westbrook

westbrook The band takes no time to warm up in this show and comes out of the gates with a smoking Melt. Gumbo>Curtain>Julius is all very nice too. Guyute is Guyute, Horn is Horn, and I guess you could say this is a below average version of Rift because of the PA problems. Nice solo from Trey in FEFY. Trey shreds in the set-closing Possum. Good first set, but nothing outrageous.

A really nice Timber opens the second set. Fishman is great in the percussive, dark jam. Theme is decent and ends with a crescendo of effects from Trey and the band drops right into Wilson. A great version of Buried Alive follows. Fishman drums like a madman in this one. Wilson, Buried, and Tweezer were recently released on Live Bait 7 and @bmrobin has already described the Tweezer jam, so I won't go into much detail on it, but I will reiterate that it is a great jam and should definitely be heard. I would say Mike is the MVP of the jam as it includes a great solo from him. I Didn't Know makes a rare appearance in the second set (first time played in the 2nd set since 3/28/92) and Fishman's trombone solo is a little more enjoyable than others. Uncle Pen is lively and I think the following Slave is very powerful. Strong version. The Fee>Tweezer Reprise encore is good, as well.

Set 1 Highlights- Split Open and Melt, Gumbo>Curtain>Julius
Set 2 Highlights- Timber, Wilson>Buried Alive>Tweezer, Slave
