spreaditround SET 1: Down with Disease: Killer opener! Mikes’ bass intro literally rattles his guitar to the point of distraction, lol! Fun fact, in the 304 times this has been played, it has only opened a show up 20 times or 6.5% of all times played! This one is pretty short, just over 8 minutes but has a good, little jam to it.

Bouncing Around the Room: Standard.

It's Ice: I listened closely and this one didn't do much for me.

Ya Mar: Strong little jam. Trey welcomes everyone, remarks on the SSB they did last night at the Timberwolves game and that tonight marked the second straight gig at this venue, lol. Cheeseball Trey.

Taste: Pretty cut and dried. Clean version and sounds good, but nothing that is too attention grabbing.

Train Song: : It's fine. Some wook seems to really like this tune as he lets out a caveman style shriek at the beginning of this one.

Reba: This Reba is really good! Not sure why it's not charted but the composed section is solid, and the jam is too, nice peaks. Would relisten!

Character Zero, Sweet Adeline: Standard.

SET 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra: Can’t beat this coming out of setbreak, bit of an extended intro (for the era) at about a minute and half >

Suzy Greenberg: Page does extraordinary work during his typical solo and Fish lets loose with a scream. Trey playing some funky rhythm, foreshadowing what is to come next year. -> Jam: 6:35 when it should wrap, you can hear Trey say “Go” or something like that and then he just lets LOOSE with a run of notes that turn into a solo that is absolutely blistering! In the late 7:50’s he gives it back to Page and jumps on the drum kit. Here come a ton of effects. We are in Type II territory!!! Listen to the mid 12’s, the funk is extremely deep, and it sounds briefly like it could go into Cities but that bustout wouldn’t happen until next year. 13:15 sounds like it could go to Psycho Killer. The funk jam evolves into a high velocity rocking jam in the early 15’s. Trey is firmly in the lead here melting faces. At 17:10 they abandon the raging flow and melt into spacey effects and into >

Prince Caspian: They rock this out and then patiently take this one down to about nothing – very quiet – and then bust back into the raucous ending. Good version here. >

You Enjoy Myself: Oh yeah, another potential big jam tune! Page leads the way with Trey doing his thing on his drum kit. Trey jumps back into the lead on the doc at 11:26. Nice and funky vibe, kind of sounds like Immigrant Jam for a bit. Mike crushing it from his side. Slappa the bass. Definitely a very good YEM jam here. Page really throwing in some funk into the B&D at 18:00. Trey in the VJ “Take me to the show, take me to the show”. “Went to the show.” This VJ is insane. Must hear. Devolves into complete chaos.

Theme From the Bottom: Quite the strong jam here.

Golgi Apparatus: Standard.

ENCORE: Good Times Bad Times: Face melter, great encore – exactly what an encore should be.

Summary: Replay value: Solid Reba, all-timer Suzy that withstands the tests of time, an above average YEM. Solid first set and a smoking second set. I am good at 3.8 out of 5.
