---|---|---|---|---|
1995-10-22 | Possum | Champaign, IL | 15:00 | Intense, fantastic version with off-key jamming, amazing trilling from Trey, and an unusual ending that -> to "Catapult." |
1995-10-22 | Tweezer | Champaign, IL | 15:49 | Amazing!! Great segue into "Makisupa." |
1995-10-22 | Slave | Champaign, IL | 10:23 | Mike is noticeably strong throughout. Only with this rock solid foundation can Trey and Page layer on their magic dust. |
1996-11-08 | Reba | Champaign, IL | 13:34 | Trouble in the composed section is quickly forgotten when the band begins the jam in atypical fashion, with incredibly cool playing from Fish offset by uncharacteristic - for the era - effects. Really cool. Stop / start playing becomes more direct, before Trey modifies his tone and the jam passes through a highly improvisational passage, notable for more marked syncopation. A false peak works to set up a fist-pumping relase. |
1996-11-08 | Maze | Champaign, IL | 11:46 | > in from "2001." Mean, nasty guitar licks from Trey before the whole band ratchets up the intensity into a cataclysmic inferno of percussive violence and gut-ripping tension. |
1996-11-08 | Simple | Champaign, IL | 18:09 | Following the conventional "Simple" outro, another Page-led jam develops with Trey on the mini percussion kit. Then Trey takes over, leading a fiery guitar-based jam. |
1997-11-19 | Llama | Champaign, IL | 5:55 | -> in from "Bathtub Gin." Blistering playing by Trey harkens back to the "Llama" Golden Age of '90 - '92. |
1997-11-19 | Fee | Champaign, IL | 8:43 | Ethereal outro with "Meatstick" quotes and a -> to a hot "Antelope." |
1997-11-19 | 2001 | Champaign, IL | 17:13 | Incredible from start to finish. This has it all! Tempo changes, jazzy grooving, full band mastery, sirens, and of course danceability. Brilliant. |
1997-11-19 | Wolfman's | Champaign, IL | 28:18 | Exploratory, extremely "Type II" version. Following some classic '97-style cow funk, the jam ranges from blissfully serene and settled ground, to an extended, Trey-led blistering and somewhat dissonant section, then on to Page and Mike dominated blues rocking. This "Wolfman's" has it all, including a sweet -> to a seriously funky "Makisupa." |
1997-11-19 | Makisupa | Champaign, IL | 10:56 | An extended, effects laden space jam begins around 5:45 and comes to a climax at 9:36, then drops right back into "Makisupa". Excellent version. |
1997-11-19 | Taste | Champaign, IL | 10:09 | "DEG" tease from Trey. Another strong '97 version. Maybe not up there with the incredible batch from the Summer, but Trey's solo is patient, very gradually building up the intensity from a relaxed base. Page is rock solid. |
1997-11-19 | Possum | Champaign, IL | 13:48 | Funky intro with great Mike. Excellent straightforward jam gets intense and chaotic, then turns bluesy and rocking. |
