Opening standard.. Nirvana at 2:07.  Trey's playing isn't as smooth as
it could be in the Nirvana segment, but Page plays well.  Lots of
audience clapping in here, too (odd;  very active audience, too).
Mike's solo-section is typical (mysteriously quizzical..), but he
doesn't let loose.  The pre-charge segment is fine.. nothing special
occurs in the least (although I like Trey's jamming around and on the
second shot at The Note..).

"Boy" at 5:35 after a throaty & thrilling scream from Trey (and lots
of excitement from the audience!).  Good WUDMTF segment.. tramps
segment is fine, too.

Trey comes in soloing strongly rather early, around 9 minutes,
basically cuting the tramps segment rather short.  Nice jamming around
10:30 -- Trey is gloriously and passionately soloing with his heart
set on a theme (no aimless noodling).  Great sustaining around 11:30..

11:35 B&D basically kicks in, with Mike low and funky, just tooling
around repetitively, until about 11:55 when he picks up the groove a
bit.  Funks away extremely repetitively, going nowhere, really..
remarkably dull, frankly.  I'm shocked.. there he goes.. around 12:30
he jumps up an octave and repeats a nice few licks, over and over
again.. still, fairly dull..

13:08 closing WUDMTF segment.  Vocal jam comes in within 20 seconds as
usual... at 15:08 or so, I thought Mike was going to launch into the
"Music Never Stopped" opening.. that was odd.  Some horn noises after
15 minutes.. no more vocal jamming by 15:30,... some drumming comes in
around this time, and someone is blowing some goofy little horn or
repeater or toy trumpet or something (very obnoxious sound). Drums and
keyboards  ... but they BLAST in every measure together.. nothing
consistent until.. sounds like a HYHU jam almost in here!! Just
noise.. Trey starts playing BBFCFM.  Well.  Total time somewhere
around 15:30.. I'm not going to include the post-vocal jam stuff.
Mike, I'm sure people would love to know what the hell was happening
at the show at this time.  Sounds like mayhem on tape..

An incredibly straightforward YEM.. which I without pause rate a

C        Reasonably good, straightforward version.
        Not terribly interesting, or long, in light
        of many other versions, but still contains
        some meritorious jams.  Solid.

two cents,
