Makisupa was played for the first time since February 25, 1990 (111 shows).  YEM's vocal jam was centered around Manteca and also contained a  Rockin' Robin tease from Trey. David Bowie's intro contained Donna Lee teases and Weekapaug contained Mainstreet teases. Makisupa's key words were a Manteca quote: "Crab in my shoemouth." The beginning of Hydrogen included the lyrics "I walk awakening on the misty fields of forever." Fish was introduced as Bob Seger before Whipping Post, which featured Fish on vocals. Page and Mike teased Norwegian Wood at the end of the second HYHU.

Review by TheEmu

TheEmu The first set plus the start of the second set here are really, really good. The Runaway Jim is smoking, the Reba has some fine Cactus, and the YEM is very good. The David Bowie with Mo' Better Blues intro is the easy highlight of the show, IMO, and is definitely worth the listen. Divided Sky to start set II is ripping, and the Makisupa is fine as well. Things go down hill a bit from there. The Forbin's is pretty harsh, the Mockingbird is cut, and all I can say about Mike's Song is blecch. The 'Paug is pretty basic, too. Despite the somewhat disappointing ending after a fiery first set+, I'm gonna go 4 stars here because there were plenty of tasty nuggets in that first half.

Review by thelot

thelot Not the best audience recording available for this show. Grateful a source even exists. The quality does seem to improve from Wilson to the end of the show. Hopefully the masters are unearthed at some point.

The Landlady has a rough beginning to kick off the show. They redeemed themselves with fiery little Jim and a nice string of songs to follow. There’s some blemishes in Reba and during YEM’s intro. With that said both songs have fantastic jams, especially YEM! The YEM vocal jam segues into the second version of Manteca. Mo’ Better Blues makes another appearance during Bowie’s hi-hat hijinx. The first Mo’ Better Blues appearance was at the start of the tour in Amherst, 9/22. The Bowie jam itself is pretty straightforward.

The opening to Divided Sky is cut to start set 2. Nice version. The first Makisupa of the tour and only second of the year is up next. Cool “Crab in my shoemouth” keyword and a nice breakdown. Fantastic Llama! No Mockingbird rap between Forbin>Mockingbird. Mockingbird is cut on Relisten? Sound quality improves from Wilson through the end of the show. Solid Mike’s Groove. Hydrogen has the Misty Fields rap heard in Portland and Saratoga Springs earlier in the tour. Cool Mainstreet teasing in Groove. Hilarious version of Whipping Post with Bob Seger adding guitar and vacuum to the mix! Fire provides an exclamation point to a rippin’ set! Fun Contact/Highway to Hell encore to wrap up the evening.

Review by mlivy

mlivy Surprised that Llama wasn't mentioned in the notes above. It smokes!This was an early Llama that had a slower synchopated groove and had a solo transition that was common for earlier Llamas that was later dropped, where Page holds a note on the keys and Trey comes in on the same sustained note to take the hand-off.

The show I have on tape also has Donna Lee in the first set. Trey announces the transition between Flatt and Stubbs and Charlie Parker "running together".
