Review by TheEmu

Hey, it's a '90-'91 show, what do you think I'm gonna say? That's right! Tight, well played, not overly adventurous, but a solid show! Actually, I do think this is a little better than your average '90-'91 gig, and it does have one standout, I think -- the Reba is really quite excellent, especially for such an early version! Clean composition and Trey really does some majestic, gorgeous work! My initial grade for the Reba is B-/B, which *might* be a little high, but it's definitely a version worth checking out! Three stars overall for this show.

Score: 4

Worth a listen but nothing really outstanding.

Some banter before the second set. Trey mentions that Fishs' parents are in the audience and the last gig they were at was the "Ithaca State Theater gig" where they gave away a car (2/14/91). Apparently the person who won it sold it and drama ensued, which was new news to Fishs' parents.

I actually would like to rate this 2.5 stars but I went with 3 stars just for the YEM-> Setting Sail.

Score: 3

Another pretty good audience recording for this show. There are points where the bass is a bit over saturated. Big thanks to Todd and Arty for getting this one circulated! Also, a big thanks to Dave Schanker for taping!

The show starts off with an average/good Jim. A well played Reba is up next and features some soulful playing from Trey in the jam. Llama rips per usual. Another well played Fluffhead. The YEM set closer is the clear highlight. Taking risks all the way through. Because of this there are a couple miscues. The VJ segues into the formal debut of Setting Sail to wrap up set 1. They briefly quoted Setting Sail in a YEM VJ once before at The Campus Club on 12/29/90.

Funny banter ensues at the start of set 2 regarding the Fishman Family Minivan giveaway in Ithaca at the start of the tour. Sloth gets things started off right. Decent Melt. Funny to hear some of the banter among fans at the start of Cavern and during TMWSIY. Interesting Tweezer. The spliced in SBD source for the encore is pretty rough, but at least it’s available to make for a complete show.

Score: 0
