I agree with the other reviewer that this is an above average show, even compared to the general epicness that was Fall 1994. The classic opening pair of Jim and Foam get things under way nicely and everything else in the first set is played very well with good intensity. Maze and Stash are...
Solid Fall '94 show. On the whole, I'd say this show is a little above average on '94's continuum. However, since '94 is one of those years where they brought it every single night, this show is just a splendid listen and any minutia or comparisons I bring up in the rest of this review don't...
What a show! Starting off with the classic combo of Jim and Foam, the first set is a keeper. We get a lovely If I Could with a fantastic ending section that highlights both Page’s and Trey’s playing. This leads into a amazing sequence that I can only dream about today: Maze Guyute Stash...
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
Excellent "Have Mercy" section of a huge and jammed early "DwD."
Riveting, powerful version. Page travels way up the keyboard, and the ending of his section is so dynamic that it sounds like the grand finale. Then Trey works all the way up the fretboard, with Page briefly (and uncharacteristically) on the B-3, before launching the band into a blistering build-up.
Fantastic, improvisational '94-style jamming. One of the very best versions of "DwD," but oh so different from the funk versions of later years. Includes a -> "Have Mercy" -> "DwD." Somewhat unusual ending with -> to "Lifeboy."
