SET 1:

Runaway Jim: Standard with the exception of a sloppy closing section.

Gumbo: So slow. So funky. And when all those loops hit so hard in the late 9’s. Just sick as all get out. Would recommend. >

Maze: Page’s solo goes on forever. Trey is just dying to jump in. Tension gets ratcheted up big time. Trey’s climax is a mess. Page keeps playing for a few beats after he is done. Just not on the same page. No vocals at the end, Trey leaves Page hanging out to dry and just busts a move for >

Fast Enough for You: Intro into the vocals is weird. I adore this tune. Have always remembered this as a standout version but having just relistened, it is run of the mill.

Also Sprach Zarathustra: The lines Trey is throwing down after the first peak are just fantastic. Woooo!!! Would recommend! >

Funky Bitch: Standard.

Guyute: Dedicated to Paul as per Paul, any song that has whistling is a good song.

Run Like an Antelope: Awesome version. Has a significant crunchy, sort of dissonance to the middle part of it – one that I associate directly with that summer 97 sound. After they get out of this they still take their time (3.0 version, you should be paying attention to versions like this!!!) and keep grinding away. The tension keeps ramping up. Great trills in the late 10’s and into a huge peak. Wow! Then Trey whistles the Rye Rye Rocco part, lol!!! Would definitely recommend!

SET 2:

Wolfman's Brother: Pretty cool version. Ultra patient and super mellow. It’s a jamcharts version. But for me, this isn’t a version I would recommend. Cool segue into… ->

Piper: Man, these 97 versions with that slow, patient intro and build. So great! >

Twist: Ethereal jam coming out of the composed section. Love the very quiet note that Trey holds in the early 9’s while Mike drops bombs and is leading the charge. Straight up hose in the mid 11’s with Trey sporadically letting loose the most glorious runs. By the late 12’s the whole band has basically dropped out and it’s just Trey. So awesome! From 14 and half, it’s very quiet outside of some gnarly effects, tons of space and room to breathe. Just Mike and Trey for about the last 40 seconds, for a moment it sounds like they could go for SOAMule around 15:20 but eventually… >

Slave to the Traffic Light: The crowd was so enraptured by that Twist jam that there is basically zero reaction for the first 10-15 seconds of this. They had the fans straight up eating out of their hands. This is an exquisite and patient version. They stretch it out forever. Slow burn and build. Huge peak, you can hear some of 12.7.97’s Slave peak in this 11.14.97 version. This one is an easy all timer! Highly recommended.

ENCORE:

Bold As Love: Trey works this one so hard he gets off key multiple times. But the effort is there and for the most part it is utterly ripped to shreds. Awesome way to end and awesome show!

Summary: Really long and great first set clocking in 84 minutes! Second set is 56 minutes but it’s brilliant, a four song second set! Highlights all over the place and the current rating of 4.481/5 (210 ratings) feels right on the money to me. If you haven’t heard this show, then what are you waiting for?

Replay Value: Gumbo, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Run Like an Antelope, Twist, Slave to the Traffic Light
