Very bizarre. Today is 20 years to the day from 2/6/93. I cut and pasted the link to this setlist to my friends and told a quick story about this exceptionally crazy day that included a pixilated 6 hour psilocybin fueled journey through the NYC Museum of Natural History that afternoon. I...

My first show. Somehow managed to light a few strands of my hair on fire while lighting a bowl. Fitting for a Fire encore with Noel Redding. Rift had just come out and I was psyched to see anything they had to play. Loved the opening of Golgi and the painted backdrops.

This is a pretty standard show but there is high quality video out there of the whole thing. You can watch Set 1 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKDFME8WEVs and set 2 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDw_slfdgs4. As for the highlights of the show, I would say Ya Mar is the only must-hear jam...

My First Show. So this cute girl with green eyes and freckles from school asks me, "hey want to go in to the city to see this cool band I've been listening to?" I went mostly b/c I liked the girl... and I knew how to get to the Roseland Ballroom so if the band sucked, I would just go to...

This was a fantastic show in my personal opinion. I believe its a poorly rated show here on dotnet. You will not waste your time listening to this show. Only setback was the first half of the second set was pretty standard for 1992. First set was very solid. A lot better overall than set 2 . You...

**This is my third of (hopefully) 71 reviews as I listen to the entire winter/spring '93 tour.** Here we have the best show of the tour so far, which isn't exactly saying much considering this is only the third show of a whopping 71 show tour, but it's the little things in life, right?  Pretty...

**This is my fourth of (hopefully) 71 reviews as I listen to the entire winter/spring '93 tour.** Night two at the Roseland takes a few songs to get off the ground, but by My Friend, My Friend's end the landing gear has retracted and they're off. The Divided Sky is good and the Wedge's third...

Two distinct memories from this show (I wasn't aware of the kid whose hair got set on fire) - during Buried Alive they brought out what looked like a rolling tray on wheels covered with a sheet - they are playing the song and I remember thinking "What is going to happen?" I thought maybe it was...

Nice YEM into a saucy Antelope. The first set is fairly standard except the Ya Mar that gets into some weird territory. Altogether a good show to check out.

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2000-05-23 • Ya Mar (15:57) Set 1 Noteworthy
An excellent rhythmic, snappy jam emerges with a lot of "DEG" and "Digital Delay Jam"-like sounds from Page and Trey at first (from about 8:30 - 11:00). Trey started the song in the wrong key (G) but asked Page to modulate to the key of A (the proper key) before his organ solo.
2000-05-23 • Taste (10:12) Set 1
A different version with a relaxed, toned-down feel throughout, but it is also deftly played with near precision.
An improvisational section begins at 4:40, with really great Mike and Page playing. Then Trey adds electric energy to the mix as the jam returns home to conclude.
-> in from "DB." "VOL" is performed during the "Bowie" intro. -> back to "DB."
"Vibration Of Life" in intro. Cool jam with some interesting rhythmic variation.
1993-02-05 • David Bowie (11:56) Set 1
-> in from "Vibration Of Life." Cool jam with some interesting rhythmic variation.
1992-03-14 • Foam (7:53) Set 1
A very tight, well-played version with solid contributions from all four and great cohesion. Nice, crisp sbd recording taboot.
1992-03-14 • Reba (11:14) Set 1
Notable playing in the composed section, featuring incredible percussion and spot-on syncopation. Mike and Fish maintain a cool vibe, with Page providing great fills. Fish is the star here though, with Trey seemingly soloing in response to Fishman's pinpoint persistence. Trey locks on to a great little theme, and thanks to more punishing drumming, he leads the band through a great rise, into a powerful, compact, peak. Even the drumming post-whistling is compelling.
1992-03-14 • Harry Hood (13:18) Set 2
Excellent intro to 4:24 with Page on the B-3 and strong Mike. The jam includes a sweet "Follow The Yellow Brick Road" tease and then builds up in a very rocking manner with solid playing by all four.
