Jam Chart for the 19th of June (26 entries)
| Date | Song | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1988-06-19 | Burlington, VT | 16:14 | On this recording, Page is more prominent in the mix, which provides a nice audio record of his important role with this song. While The Curtain is generally tight, minor bumps here and there point to the difficulty of performing this highly composed section. The With jam begins with some nice, quiet interplay between Trey and Page. The jam gradually builds energy, but remains largely undulating and uplifting straight through to the downshifting conclusion. | |
| 1988-06-19 | Burlington, VT | 12:27 | Excellent jam that has a very bluesy feel to it, plus nimble and nasty guitar licks from Trey. | |
| 1988-06-19 | Burlington, VT | 10:09 | Very soulful playing by Page, soaring guitar by Trey as the jam builds, and some great jazzy keyboard action. | |
| 1994-06-19 | Kalamazoo, MI | 11:51 | The jam gets out there well beyond "Stash." The tension is cranked up repeatedly with great pounding by Fish. | |
| 1994-06-19 | Kalamazoo, MI | 13:49 | Typically great '94 thrashing "Antelope" stuff until 6:25 when the jam breaks into a good settled section that percussively rebuilds with wild dissonance and buckets of tension. | |
| 1994-06-19 | Kalamazoo, MI | 13:44 | Strong, Mike-driven version, featuring great percussion. Trey's playing is as fast as Page's fills are delicate, and the band works through several ideas and progressions to build a jam that, at points, sounds like "David Bowie." | |
| 1994-06-19 | Kalamazoo, MI | 8:23 | Excellent version. Reggae sounding and effects laden jam around 2:20 that goes on for a few minutes. A jam resembling a "DDL" jam (which doesn't actually include any loops) emerges around 6:30 out of the vocal reprise, and eventually works its way back into a second vocal reprise. | |
| 1995-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 11:47 | Although essentially "Type I," there is a high degree of melodic variation from Trey in this strong summer '95 version. | |
| 1995-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 16:12 | Jamming both ethereal and measured builds from a pensive calm into a dreamy sort of intensity. Trey locks in upon a great, grooving theme. Strong work from Mike and Fish incites more fueled and focused soloing from Trey, which, offset by some impassioned Page, rises to a great release. | |
| 1995-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 10:53 | Dissonant version with a little brief funky Page action thrown in the mix before returning for a blistering peak. | |
| 1995-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 23:19 | -> in from "Simple." Cool, somewhat unusual jam that begins without all the usual thrashing and dissonance. Has some "MLB"-like jamming and gets out there as it progresses. | |
| 1995-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 23:30 | Beautiful opening segment. | |
| 1995-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 13:58 | Somewhat of an evil "Possum" that grows increasingly tense, dissonant and shrill, and includes an unusual stop. | |
| 1997-06-19 | Vienna, Austria | 21:34 | Straightforward until 11:30 when the sounds of funk start to creep in. Becomes a full-blown funk jam after 14:50. Unfinished with a -> to "Ghost." | |
| 1997-06-19 | Vienna, Austria | 12:14 | > in from "JJLC." Long and beautiful intro (to 3:35). Jam section features great Trey/Page interplay, as well as more melody line variation from Trey than has become typical. Fish and Mike are rock solid here. | |
| 2004-06-19 | Saratoga Springs, NY | 11:36 | Really a great version that gets somewhat beyond the typical format with continued improvisation before coming home. | |
| 2004-06-19 | Saratoga Springs, NY | 20:11 | Straightforward until 12:55 when the jam breaks into a nice "Type I" outro jam. This jam settles briefly, then builds into a great "Type II" jam with some melodic licks from Trey that preview the catchy riff he seizes on in the following day's "Ghost." | |
| 2004-06-19 | Saratoga Springs, NY | 17:58 | Outstanding "Type II" version. The jam probes the sea floor until finding oceanic bliss around the 9:30 mark. Trey lays back crafting rhythmic textures, while Page deploys the clavinet. What follows is a calming sense of murky haze before the jam gains momentum, ultimately returning to the song proper. > to an exceptional "Piper." | |
| 2004-06-19 | Saratoga Springs, NY | 32:40 | A multi-section improvisational super heavyweight. The jam begins with a low-key, "Piper"-like groove, settles, then builds into an angry and rocking section that eventually bursts into a "Tweeprise" Jam. From here, the jam settles into a couple of great and swinging, lower intensity grooves that -> to "Jibboo." | |
| 2004-06-19 | Saratoga Springs, NY | 11:51 | A well played version. Following the typical "Limb" peak, there is a sort of celebratory, almost euphoric power jam that is both unusual and adds extra mustard to this "Limb." | |
| 2009-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 10:56 | Standard rendition until the jam takes a turn towards a beatless ambience drenched by Page's synth, which grows loosely percussive and upbeat. > to "Drowned." | |
| 2009-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 9:29 | A settled section follows the standard jam, which leads to some "CYHMK"-like jamming, then some free form improvisation before returning to "Twist" to conclude. | |
| 2009-06-19 | Noblesville, IN | 12:44 | A very good jam eventually segues into a spacey interlude before "2001" kicks in. | |
| 2011-06-19 | Portsmouth, VA | 13:18 | The band put on an impressive display of focused group improvisation in this great funky jam, which also featured stop-start jamming and a short reprise of the jam before ending the song. > into "Sneakin' Sally." | |
| 2019-06-19 | Cuyahoga Falls, OH | 23:30 | Fan favorite from 2019. Immediately moves into a warm and soothing zone with Page's electric piano leading the way, then briefly picks up steam and lets Trey cook before sliding into a grimy synth-laden groove that Fish drives with some thunderous drumming. A nice semi-tropical jam emerges and gives way to a woo/sample-off, and then the band rebuilds the jam and pushes for a super peak. The nifty little post-peak groove they tack onto the end is just icing on the cake. | |
| 2019-06-19 | Cuyahoga Falls, OH | 10:47 | Amusing "BOAF"-inflected song portion (with an equally amusing botch). Briefly pops its head into the clouds for some major-key bliss at Trey's urging, Page flips his electric piano to the "calypso" setting to add some nice color to the jam. Trey hits on some neat repeating riffs as the jam builds up a nice low-key power, then gently steers the band into "Slave". |
