DollarBill This turned out to be a really funny show. Audience bootleg, a little boomy but unclear low end.

Sounds like a radom note tease to start with others before a nice Suzy. Weak start on Pen but good overall. Solid Melt! Rift and Guelah are good. Possum has a great tease opening, pretty solid jam. First half of Ice was missing from the bootleg I heard, probably a tape flip. Pretty good half Ice into a rare Eliza. NICU still has the weird middle. Bouncing is missing from the bootleg also! Good Bowie, lacking signals though. Too many in Possum I guess.

More teases to start the second set as Trey and Mike take us through As Time Rolls On? Following with a howling Dinner with a few warts. Forbin is great as always, great story, nice FX on the vocals, pretty good Mockingbird. Tweezer is rocking! Can't figure out what song Trey is teasing? Tela makes a rare appearance as well and it shows a little. Mike's Groove is solid tonight. Weigh is a little drunk sounding with a weird ending.

OK, Here's where it gets interesting! I love the Fishman sections of shows and this one had to be legendary! Lots of teasing by Page lately including full on Cold as Ice jams plus a brief HYHU. But then Fish on Bass? Mike on vaccuum and Trey's guitar!!! By the way Mike has some sweet chops. Great Lively jam followed by an apology/disclaimer vocal jam. And what a great idea, by Trey, to follow that with a rocking Sanity! Maze is a great closer.

Memories was missing from the bootleg, but Adeline is nice, plus great stage banter about buds, and an ounce to take home for Fish. Bluegrass Cavern tease and then introduced by Mike as the Prison Joke.

Very funny show, 5 stars just for the Fishman section!

TwiceBitten Fantastic Tweezer that starts a little awkward but gets soaringly melodic during the jam before ending in darker territory.

4:50-Trey settles on a riff, a bit of a trill...Mike lays back and Page joins Trey with a bit of dissonance.
5:50-Trey and Page begin modulating the riff. Mike then comes in adding a background rhythm. Fishman plays the same driving beat for the beginning of this jam.
6:30-Page switches to Piano.
7:00-Trey plays an off key melody line. The jam kinda falls apart.
7:30-Trey settles on a simple melody and continues to play the rift as Page eventually comes back in.
7:50-Trey fills out the melody and Fishman comes in with a beat. Page continues dissonant sounds on the Piano.
9:05-Trey pulls it up, vamps on a note and Mike catches on. Fishman plays a nice line of fills.
9:25-Trey returns to his riff.
9:50-Trey unleashes a guitar scream that would make the guitar gods proud. He brings the melody down an octave and adds a nice distortion on it.
10:30-The jam has a bit of a Tweezer reprise feel to it.
10:45-Trey plays around with the melody. Him and Page take turns with some dissonant sounds.
11:33-Trey brings the melody back up an octave and has some great sustain and bended notes.
11:50-Fishman pushes the beat and plays some great fills. Tons of power in his playing.
12:10-Trey pulls it back, everyone plays dissonant strange chromatic lines.
12:30- Everyone begins to slow the tempo, continuing their strange lines.
