Fall 1999 gets a bit of a bad rep but when you actually go and listen to the shows, even the non-Jamcharted tunes have a lot to offer. I'm speaking specifically about the 40+ minute Melt>Cavern>Bowie combo that provides the meatiest jamming of this show, but gets no love from the Jamchart gods. This show is also rated far too low; the fact that there are only two reviews of 9-10-1999 on .net should give you an idea of this show's reputation...which to me, it doesn't deserve. This is a very underrated show.

The Twist, Divided Sky, WTU?, Disease, Fee>Jibboo, Saw It Again, the aforementioned Melt>Cavern>Bowie, even the Squirming Coil are all performed capably and they poot forth quite a bit of energy from their instruments on this night at the Gorge. There are much better shows from 1999 to be sure, but don't be put off by the relatively low rating, lack of Jamchart entries, or short song lengths; this show has the spacy vintage 1999 sound in spades and is worth a listen.
