7/6/97 Spiaggia di Rivoltana, Desenzano, Italy

YEM opens up typically.  Spacey pre-Nirvana section.  Nirvana at
3:43.  Mike's solo section is good, as is the pre-charge section (not
unduly impressive).  Trey's first shot at the Note at 5:56 is nailed,
and then jammed well around.  Second shot at the Note is sustained
well.

"Boy" at 7:20.  Decent WUDMTF segment.  Don't hear no signals from
Mike (no trampolines right?).  Very funky tramps jam as a result...
Trey just chords rhythmically along with Mike, as Page plays his
hammond...

No real place to mark where the "jam segment" begins really.  This is
a fairly through the motions YEM so far (13 mins now).  Very laid back.

At 13:47 Trey starts soloing in the lower octaves, mellowly.  This jam
stays rather calm.  It gets progressively more spacey.  Some digital
delay loop activity. No bass and drums.  Around 24 mins there are some
farting noises (vacuum?).  Page also starts playing with effects on
his keyboard it sounds like.  Very spacey, psychedelic jam.. but not
what I would call good or impressive.

Trey appropriately starts playing Waste at 25:29.  Nice ->segue.  The
YEM really just died a miserably slow death.  I have to give it a B-
rating, though, because it is still pretty damn good compared to many
early versions.  It is very improvisational...  It is also arguably
more interesting, than, say, the well-executed but rather
Through-the-Motions version that's on "A Live One."
