| Date | Song | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990-11-02 | Boulder, CO | 0:51 | "Possum" -> "Buried Alive" -> "Possum." Great song pairing and an excellent, improvisational, and fiery jam. | |
| 1990-11-02 | Boulder, CO | 1:48 | -> in from "Possum." "Buried Alive" is played in the intro. Awesome combination and one of the best "Possums" ever. -> back to "Possum." | |
| 1990-11-02 | Boulder, CO | 9:35 | -> in from "Buried Alive," which is played in the intro. The jam in this "Possum" is awesome, and the "Buried Alive" sandwich is just the icing on the cake. | |
| 1990-11-02 | Boulder, CO | 17:30 | Very good pre-'91 jam segment. | |
| 1990-11-02 | Boulder, CO | 15:10 | Tease-fest intro (see Setlist). The jam itself is pretty ripping and gets beyond "Bowie" with great tension building, nasty guitar licks from Trey, and teases or little jams on "Rocky Mountain Way," "DEG," "Fluffhead," and "Wipe Out." Released on Live Bait 6. | |
| 1990-11-03 | Boulder, CO | 5:39 | Great, high energy and fun version with strong solos by Trey, Page and Mike. | |
| 1991-10-30 | Boulder, CO | 4:32 | Fish plays or tries to play guitar, and the others join in with Trey presumably on drums in this stand-alone jam which kicks off the encore and > to "HYHU." This ghoulish sounding jam seems appropriate given the impending Halloween holiday. | |
| 1992-04-04 | Boulder, CO | 13:02 | Unusual and improvisational jam works its way back to blistering standard "Antelope" fare. | |
| 1992-04-05 | Boulder, CO | 12:33 | Brief full band "Landlady" jam, plus teases and signals (see Setlist), and Mike sings "Crossroads." Awesome jam. | |
| 1993-03-13 | Boulder, CO | 7:29 | Long, musically oriented intro with Trey repeating a melancholic riff and a sweet little jam in the pre "Blat, Boom...!" section with Mike hinting at "Getting In Tune" by the Who. | |
| 1993-03-13 | Boulder, CO | 11:12 | Great rythmic-oriented jamming. Released on Live Bait Vol. 6. | |
| 1993-03-13 | Boulder, CO | 7:47 | The 1st jam has some good variation away from the standard, while the 2nd jam is typical for 1993, somewhat crazed and chaotic, but also way out there and well removed from boiler plate "Mike's." | |
| 1993-03-13 | Boulder, CO | 10:06 | "My Girl" teasing/jamming by Trey leads to an excellent Page piano solo midway through, which rebuilds in great form to a soaring "Weekapaug" finale. | |
| 2025-07-03 | Boulder, CO | 12:23 | When Fish is this on, "Tube" need not 'jam' to be deemed notable. Special version, however, with Trey, picking through a number of notes, teasing The Dead Milkmen, and driving the improvisation in a number of fun, quirky, directions. This before leading the band into a really cool extended full-band passage, featuring Page on his piano, before leaning into one of summer's finest full-blown astral solos. They hit the change. And then run for the "Roses." Awesome. | |
| 2025-07-03 | Boulder, CO | 8:45 | As if taking a deep breath from a huge "Tube", the band breaks from a banging rendition of the song, proper, and crashes into a powerful jam, featuring impassioned play from all four. Trey adds just enough by way of melodic variation, trilling, and sonic sustain before > for a mighty "Maze". | |
| 2025-07-03 | Boulder, CO | 16:57 | A massive extended dance party, Sally here makes a gorgeous racket that does not bother with vocal jams nor swerve from its intended purpose keeping the bodies bumping in Boulder and launching a stadium size celebration capped by peaks that sustain the energy deep into the second set. | |
| 2025-07-04 | Boulder, CO | 14:28 | A typically jaunty, groovy improvisation makes a break for more pastoral, psychedelic territories around the 6:30 mark. With Fishman's pocket remaining constant and ever rock-solid, Trey, Page and Mike's particularly funky affected tones help to create an intoxicatingly textural dance party, before the "Oblivion" closing section emerges to close it out. | |
| 2025-07-05 | Boulder, CO | 10:46 | Gets to "that place" in a hurry as it sails through the stratosphere on a wave of synths and full-sustain guitar to touch the divine. | |
| 2025-07-05 | Boulder, CO | 15:29 | Murky and soupy island funk of the highest caliber gives way to a familiar progression and leads to upbeat, focused, and ear-wormy play that blazes satisfyingly. | |
| 2025-07-05 | Boulder, CO | 14:56 | A shift after the 6:00 mark leads to floaty, searching space; this paves the way for a bass-heavy, clav-driven section, with Fish both accenting and pushing the jam as it builds. Eventually, Trey angles his way towards -> "MFMF". | |
| 2025-07-05 | Boulder, CO | 11:09 | -> in from "MFMF", with quotes carrying over. Less than two minutes into this section and the effects are engaged and a dissonant, atonal excursion takes hold, undercut (or overscored) with more knife chanting. Trey becomes more musical while simultaneously driving the psychedelic conversation. The music winds down and, as if one, the band finds a theme which they work to a satisfying peak before > for "C | |
| 2025-07-05 | Boulder, CO | 12:47 | > from "Fuego". Replete with teases and even a "Wu-Tang forever!" shoutout from Trey. The jam starts typically upbeat before the tempo is slowed way down, at times sounding like the band has gone fully back into "Fuego". The jam picks back up steam again before > into "Everything's Right". | |
| 2025-07-05 | Boulder, CO | 15:29 | Takes a different path from most recent versions, passing through twinkling bliss into pulsing, synth-heavy turbulence. | |
| 2025-07-05 | Boulder, CO | 14:01 | Phenomenally executed, the play is packed with treats, including "Buffalo Bill" quotes over the intro, quaint Trey and Page duo action, a carefully considered yet action-packed build, and a full-band lead. This culminates with almost three minutes of high-octane "Hood" peaking. Simply breathtaking. |
