---|---|---|---|---|
1990-10-06 | Possum | Port Chester, NY | 10:12 | Improvisational jamming is spread throughout, as if in step with the musical ideas flowing from the mind of Trey. |
1990-11-24 | Possum | Port Chester, NY | 8:22 | Some nice "Manteca" teases/jamming. Mike is really awesome on this one. |
1990-11-24 | Bowie | Port Chester, NY | 12:06 | Vicious tension and dissonance building. A great short version with teases taboot. |
1991-04-27 | Possum | Port Chester, NY | 8:18 | Great intro and a nice and different jam with cool staccato picking by Trey. |
1991-04-27 | Tweezer | Port Chester, NY | 10:02 | Very strong early version. "Dr. Q" on the bass! Trey teases "Sweet Emotion." |
1991-11-30 | Llama | Port Chester, NY | 4:42 | Unfrickenbelievable. |
1991-11-30 | Brother | Port Chester, NY | 6:02 | After a gentle, settling "Squirming Coil", we have something akin to a combination of "Carini" and "46 Days" on steroids, except that this "Brother" was performed 6 years before either of those beasts were hatched. |
1991-11-30 | YEM | Port Chester, NY | 19:44 | Wild VJ. |
1991-11-30 | Hood | Port Chester, NY | 13:28 | Great and playful intro. The jam is excellent and rocking, and Machine Gun Trey's playing is simply incredible. |
1991-11-30 | It's Ice | Port Chester, NY | 8:57 | Another version in which the whole band kicks in after letting Page shine briefly. |
1992-05-14 | Fluffhead | Port Chester, NY | 14:34 | If there is any single section that has tripped up the band over the years, it is The Chase, and this version provides a nearly flawless example, proof that it can be done. Meanwhile, you may notice a bit of a wobble at the end of Who Do? We Do! This song is merciless on the performers. Some awesome and swinging Page and Mike are on display in Clod, and a top notch Arrival features some really sick trilling by Mr. Trey Anastasio. Great performance. |
1992-05-14 | Mike's | Port Chester, NY | 7:48 | Mike and Fish kick it off nicely, then Trey provides some great variation in his playing, including some rapid-fire trilling. The short 2nd jam gets intense and electrifying, with more solid machine gun action from Trey. |
1992-05-14 | Weekapaug | Port Chester, NY | 4:57 | Very cool jam, with a "Jimmy Crack Corn" tease/jam, then a -> to "Wait", which is excellent and includes a "Call To The Post" tease, followed by a -> back to "Weekapaug" to wrap up an improvisational and excellent version. |
1992-05-14 | Wait | Port Chester, NY | 1:45 | -> in from an excellent "Weekapaug." Great version of "Wait" with a "Call To The Post" tease and -> back to "Weekapaug." |
1992-05-14 | Weekapaug | Port Chester, NY | 3:39 | -> in from an excellent "Wait" sandwich to wrap up a great and entertaining "Weekapaug." |
1992-05-14 | McGrupp | Port Chester, NY | 9:22 | Trey and Mike offer great backing to Page, especially Mike as the jam section progresses, and Fish keeps the engine clicking along nicely throughout. |
1992-11-27 | Divided | Port Chester, NY | 16:45 | Outstanding version, an anomaly that jams far longer than any other performance prior to 10/31/94. Of course Trey is blistering here, but this also has a distinctly quiet, settled section that anticipates the band's less rocking, more restrained sound in the later '90s. |
1992-11-27 | SOAMelt | Port Chester, NY | 9:35 | Very cool and exploratory jam includes a nice quiet section and some good, rhythm-oriented jamming. |
1992-11-27 | Possum | Port Chester, NY | 10:39 | Great tension building, multiple peaks and shredding Trey in a roaring "Possum." |
1992-11-27 | Bowie | Port Chester, NY | 13:28 | Jam starts in a quiet, pensive style, but picks up a head of steam, getting nasty and intense. |
1992-11-28 | Foam | Port Chester, NY | 9:38 | Awesome build-up section with Machine Gun Trey taking a strong lead position. |
1992-11-28 | Stash | Port Chester, NY | 10:16 | Great, inspired version which gets out there and has very good Fish/Trey teaming. |
1992-11-28 | Mike's | Port Chester, NY | 9:22 | Beginning with excellent "Walk This Way" jamming, the energy builds up to the first break. After a momentary cloud of dissonance, a percussive, exploratory groove expands nicely. A great version with 2 equally strong jams. |
1992-11-28 | Avenu Malkenu | Port Chester, NY | 9:40 | Blistering, ripping version. Trey is sick! |
