---|---|---|---|---|
1992-08-30 | Antelope | Sacramento, CA | 11:44 | Some very good exploratory jamming midway, with lots of descending melodic lines from Trey. Great tension as the jam builds up with excellent work by Trey. |
1993-03-22 | Reba | Sacramento, CA | 14:48 | Really fluid and laid-back jamming, with Trey all but absent (relatively speaking), as if inciting the others to respond. This results in an all but total dialing down of the sound. Not so much a secret language, as a testament to the band, who, via subdued and nuanced playing, manage to maintain the structure of the jam before Trey works through a series of cool rhythmic shifts and wonderful sustain to arrive at the "note." |
1993-03-22 | It's Ice | Sacramento, CA | 5:06 | Band uses the jam as a segue for a performance of the entire suite of Gamehenge songs, one of only 5 such performances. Unfinished. |
1995-09-27 | Hood | Sacramento, CA | 15:16 | The jam veers into different territory at 8:45 as the customary "Hood" harmonics are upended by a shift to minor mode. Returns to normal "Hood" after 10:30, building to a nice peak which gradually fades with no closing refrain. |
1995-09-27 | Possum | Sacramento, CA | 10:49 | Mike and Trey highlight this excellent, fun, rocking and well played version. It's mostly straightforward, but high quality fare nonetheless. Try 9/27/91 for another terrific non-exploratory version, separated by 4 years to the day. |
1996-11-30 | Fluffhead | Sacramento, CA | 14:52 | A few, very minor glitches in The Chase and elsewhere, but otherwise the playing is intense and tight. How about a little Moog action in Clod? Page's piano solo later in Clod benefits from great backing from Trey, Mike and Fish. Arrival is powerful, driven by Mike and Fish, and by Trey's confident, rocking soloing, including some sick trilling near the peak. |
1996-11-30 | It's Ice | Sacramento, CA | 10:24 | After a cacophony of noisy effects, nice crescendo building by Trey and Page. |
1996-11-30 | 2001 | Sacramento, CA | 7:59 | James Brown galore. Fish pretends to be James, tons of "Super Bad" riffs from Trey. Second jam is straight funk filth. You will laugh and dance. |
1996-11-30 | Funky Bitch | Sacramento, CA | 7:56 | With Peter Apfelbaum on tenor sax. |
1996-11-30 | Possum | Sacramento, CA | 9:27 | Peter Apfelbaum on tenor saxophone and John McEuen on lap slide guitar. Sweet jam with back and forth between Trey and McEuen, then Apfelbaum takes the lead followed by Page on the organ and piano, and then they all rock out together. |
2021-10-15 | Mercury | Sacramento, CA | 18:36 | Shifts into major in the 10-minute range and comfortably coasts along until a spark sends the jam to new heights, reaching a nice peak around 15:00 and then returns home. |
2021-10-15 | Piper | Sacramento, CA | 13:12 | > from "Billy Breathes". Fish's playing stands out early in the jam as he is utterly relentless. Trey plays a soaring melody around 9:05 to shift the jam in a new direction; Fish's relentless play remains unfazed. Around 12:00, the jam downshifts and eventually > into "Ghost". |
2021-10-15 | Brother | Sacramento, CA | 7:59 | Although Trey tries to segue into Brother out of Tube's jam (which is insane, no drummer could pull that off smoothly, not even Fish), and it takes awhile for them to begin Brother (more or less) properly, Trey SHREDS THE JAM of this version using the Shakedown-esque envelope filter, wahwah effect. |
