---|---|---|---|---|
1997-11-16 | Farmhouse | Denver, CO | 5:26 | Debut features Page deploying the now familiar watery keyboard effects he would use for most of the '90s, while Trey briefly shows off his Hendrix-esque skills in a culminating trill. |
1997-11-16 | Timber Ho | Denver, CO | 16:17 | Long intro to this big Set II opener featuring a jam that begins in typical "Timber" style, then shifts to delicate and serene major mode playing in the final minutes. Unfinished with a -> to "Simple." |
1997-11-16 | Hood | Denver, CO | 17:55 | A remarkable version in which the band repeatedly tests the "Type I" boundary after 12:30, with Page in particular altering the harmonic underpinning several times. Closes with a truly magnificent peak and > to "Izabella." |
1997-11-16 | Bowie | Denver, CO | 17:32 | Nice old fashioned "Bowie" that breaks free in a few spots and is flush with tension and dissonance. |
1997-11-17 | Tweezer | Denver, CO | 16:00 | Very popular version, but check out the highlighted versions in this table if this version does IT for you (especially those in fall 1997). |
1997-11-17 | Ghost | Denver, CO | 21:20 | Raging space funk. [The expected funk breaks into fantastic and towering blissful play, then shifts to great rocking and funk-driven jamming which gradually mellows. A fan favorite "Ghost."] |
1997-11-17 | JBG | Denver, CO | 17:04 | After concluding the song proper, the band launches into a high-quality jam which retains Fall 97's tone and timbre but is also a bit of a throwback to an earlier era with its spiraling, "DEG"-laced opening segment. The second half finds a space more emblematic of the tour with Trey's ethereal wah chord washes and eventually calms down, landing delicately -> "JJLC". |
1997-11-17 | JJLC | Denver, CO | 14:05 | -> in from "Johnny B. Goode." Page rocks the 88s, then Trey leads the band in a blistering, intense blues fest. |
1997-11-17 | YEM | Denver, CO | 21:29 | A great, unconvential YEM to be sure... but still probably the most overrated YEM in history. |
1998-11-04 | Ya Mar | Denver, CO | 9:35 | A cool little jam develops with Trey plucking staccato notes, Fish rocking the wood blocks, and Mike playing way up high. |
1998-11-04 | Frankie Says | Denver, CO | 10:20 | A somewhat dark and low intensity groove with a swirling sense and cool effects from Page develops as the typical "Frankie Says" concludes and -> to "David Bowie." |
1998-11-04 | Runaway Jim | Denver, CO | 11:32 | Unusual, somewhat ineffable version, which features more by way of wide-open spaces than compact, in-your-face jamming. Trey's 1998 style and tone is clearly on display, and the band does eventually coalesce to enter a bit more by way of a rocking, extended jam (listen for Page's interesting, and varied, contributions) which, in time, > for "Moma Dance". |
1998-11-04 | Piper | Denver, CO | 17:40 | A nice building intro leads to a hard rocking straightforward "Piper" jam until 13:40, when the jam mellows into a nice low-key and rhythmic groove with delay loops. > to "2001." |
2003-02-18 | Moma | Denver, CO | 11:34 | Average, somewhat slower than usual version gives way to a hazy jam with a very "2.0" feel. There are "DEG" teases just after 9:00, which are the highlight. Unfinished, peters out somewhat blandly and -> "LxL." |
2003-02-18 | LxL | Denver, CO | 13:29 | After the initial jam, this version gets very serene but is still rhythmic. It then turns a bit dark with a shift to minor key that resolves back to major key and an upbeat sentiment, ultimately building to a great peak. |
2003-02-18 | YEM | Denver, CO | 22:45 | "YEM" -> to a "Lion Sleeps Tonight" VJ! |
2003-02-18 | The Lion Sleeps Tonight | Denver, CO | 2:12 | -> in from "YEM." A capella version serves as the vocal jam for "YEM." |
