---|---|---|---|---|
1992-12-02 | YEM | Columbus, OH | 19:13 | The intro to "Wedge" is in the jam segment!! |
1992-12-02 | Possum | Columbus, OH | 9:38 | Interesting start to the jam leads to a tense, somewhat dissonant remainder with great playing by Trey. |
1992-12-02 | Tweezer | Columbus, OH | 13:47 | Weird jam, that was a "Big Ball Jam" at one point. Goes from beautilful/melodic to thrashing "Tweezer" jam off and on. |
1993-04-20 | Fluffhead | Columbus, OH | 14:49 | After successfully navigating the treacherous early sections, there's a palpable sense of energy as the lyrical section of Clod ends, leading to a super Page solo complimented by great play from Trey. An excellent Bundle of Joy gives that momentary sense of an impending train wreck, before the band explodes into a powerful, notably strong Arrival, featuring pounding Fish and great licks from Trey. |
1993-04-21 | Antelope | Columbus, OH | 12:07 | Unusual, intense and improvisational jam that almost sounds like a "SOAM" jam at times. |
1993-04-21 | SOAMelt | Columbus, OH | 11:36 | The jam from this fiery, intense version was attached to the end of the song "Demand" on the studio album Hoist. In a 1994 interview, Trey noted this performance marked the beginning of a watershed, 14-month period, during which the band really clicked and coalesced on "SOAM's" complex jam rhythm. Not surprisingly, the golden age of "SOAM" overlaps with this 1993 - 1994 period of technical mastery considerably. |
1993-04-21 | Weekapaug | Columbus, OH | 9:12 | Nice interplay between Trey and Page in the breakdown section, then the jam seems to be headed for home with a fiery peak, but instead veers off-course into more improvisational jamming, gradually diminishing unfinished, and (arguably) > to "Gumbo." |
1994-06-22 | Stash | Columbus, OH | 10:51 | Although this version mostly stays inbounds, the boys play the tension card to full-effect, and the ending is unusual. |
1994-06-22 | Simple | Columbus, OH | 1:22 | Crazy medley, where "Simple" is played to the melody of the Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider" at one point, and segues back and forth to "Catapult" and "Icculus" in a must-hear "Mike's Groove." |
1994-06-22 | Midnight Rider | Columbus, OH | 1:38 | -> in from "Simple." Lyrics to "Simple" are sung to the melody of the Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider." -> to "Catapult." |
1994-06-22 | Catapult | Columbus, OH | 2:10 | -> in from "Midnight Rider" Jam, part of an incredible version of "Simple." -> to "Simple." |
1994-06-22 | Simple | Columbus, OH | 3:54 | -> in from "Catapult," as this "Simple" medley of songs continues. -> to "Icculus." |
1994-06-22 | Icculus | Columbus, OH | 3:42 | -> in from "Simple." A high energy, highly amusing version of "Icculus," ripe with NBA references, appears midway through an incredible "Simple" medley. |
1994-06-22 | Simple | Columbus, OH | 1:52 | This concluding section of "Simple" follows a classic performance of "Icculus" and -> to "Mike's Song." |
1994-06-22 | JJLC | Columbus, OH | 10:22 | Trey brings the volume way down, then he and the band bring the intensity up to a near boil. Fish is great. |
1998-07-31 | Ya Mar | Columbus, OH | 11:25 | Pretty straightforward, but a nice, stretched-out, rhythmic jam with a cool closing. |
1998-07-31 | Roggae | Columbus, OH | 8:34 | More relaxed and cerebral than the version from Prague, this style for the jam section would become typical for most versions through late '00. |
1998-07-31 | Cities | Columbus, OH | 15:17 | Outstanding, R&B-esque, and quite melodic jam emerges from "Cities" proper that gets more and more rocking before cycling down. This is what the "HOSE" is all about. |
1998-07-31 | Free | Columbus, OH | 9:53 | Sweet, funky, almost bluesy groove. A great version. |
1999-07-23 | Ya Mar | Columbus, OH | 11:22 | Fairly ordinary, but much more spirited and up-tempo than 7/4/99, until the ending gets a little spacey. |
1999-07-23 | Ghost | Columbus, OH | 16:48 | Relentless molten neon electro rockslide that comes to rest in a glistening mountain lake. [Fish and Mike lead a fantastic, uptempo groove, and as Trey pours it on, you can literally hear the audience get whipped into a frenzy, then soothed with a great outro.] |
1999-07-23 | BOAF | Columbus, OH | 25:23 | An upbeat and snappy groove develops beyond "BOAF", which then bounces between spacey and pumped-up forays. The band was apparently playing along to a wild thunder and lightning storm occurring at the time. |
2000-07-14 | Timber Ho | Columbus, OH | 8:07 | More similar to pre-'97 versions with driving percussion and intense guitar work. A raging storm. |
2000-07-14 | Jibboo | Columbus, OH | 9:36 | While shorter, this one has a stronger peak than most with lots of classic Trey/Page interplay - definitely a top-shelf "Gotta Jibboo." |
2000-07-14 | Foam | Columbus, OH | 10:10 | Interesting version in which Trey strums chords during the build-up rather than striking individual notes (as is customary). |
2000-07-14 | Mike's | Columbus, OH | 16:38 | Awesome yin yang version. The 1st jam is a rocking, intense incendiary groove, while the 2nd is its serene, blissful and introspective foil. This version was the last "Mike's" to feature a significant 2nd jam until 2015. |
2000-07-15 | DwD | Columbus, OH | 26:45 | Another big and rocking groove-based jam that neatly -> into "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." |
2000-07-15 | YEM | Columbus, OH | 19:59 | This jam is why some people hate jambands. A noodle factory. (but I still dig it) The jam just segues into the VJ (no WUDMTF lyrics). (No B&D.) |
