spreaditround SET 1: My Friend, My Friend: Very intense!

Llama: Gets dissonant in the late 3 minute range, pretty cool!

Bouncing Around the Room, Guelah Papyrus: Standard.

Reba: Awesome version, this one defintely gets out there. Not Type II or anything like that. But it just goes, and goes. Big peak at 13:02! Huuuuge peak and trilling at 13:51. Another charge at 14:13! Exceptional Reba!

I Didn't Know, Taste That Surrounds: Standard.

If I Could: Beautiful! Big finish.

Split Open and Melt: Breathtaking and blistering. How this is not charted is a criminal act.

Hello My Baby: Standard.

SET 2: The Curtain: Standard, great opener! >

Tweezer: This one features Trey on the drum kit kind of early on in the jam but once this one reaches ten minutes or so it is completely game on with jamming that is quite typical for the era. Really cool theme that develops at 11:16 and extends through 14:20 or so. This is a blissful, major chord jam in the time slot noted before. Reaches powerful heights. This leads into a heavy metal jam and then the old school, Tweezer wind down. This is an all-timer! >

Keyboard Army, Sample in a Jar: Standard. >

Slave to the Traffic Light: I love how this one starts off so quiet and patient. This is how the song was meant to be. Too often now the band can't wait to rush into the fray of this song. Stop with that! Chill out, take your time to explore the quiet nuances that are available. Huge peak and a notable version!

Hold Your Head Up > Cracklin' Rosie > Hold Your Head Up: Standard.

Possum: Dixie at 4:26 - Theme from Woody Woodpecker by George Tibbles and Ramey Idriss at 5:46 - Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry at 7:42. Also has a Simpsons signal. The voice box thing Trey uses often in Mule he uses in the 5 and half minute range and then he touches on that Woody Woodpecker stuff, brilliant. They bring this to a virtual stand still in the early 9's and then build it back up for a huge finish. Absolutely insane version, a must hear version. All-timer for sure! >

Tweezer Reprise ENCORE: Fire - They burn the house down with these two!

Summary: Reba, Melt, Tweezer, Slave and Possum all have replay value and the Tweezer and Possum have a seat at the all time table. This show is rated too low right now at 3.93. It's a true barnburner and deserves better. I'm going in strong at 4.2 out of 5. November 95 continues to deliver the GOODS!!!
