Date | Song | City | Timing | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
1991-02-01 | Tweezer | Providence, RI | 10:21 | First "Tweezer Reprise" (aka TweePrise) followed this Tweezer. |
1991-02-01 | CDT | Providence, RI | 5:33 | Debut. |
1991-02-01 | Reba | Providence, RI | 11:57 | A rhythmic composition carved from a great, grooving vibe finds Trey leading the band through a jam featuring "Dixie" teasing, warm and graceful shifts in tempo, super huge notes bent and sustained, all of which builds into inspired "Dave's Energy Guide"-like playing. |
1991-02-03 | Reba | Burlington, VT | 12:01 | One can debate when the finest theme emerges, but 7:30 seems to account for "must-hear" playing, with Trey's dazzling, "DEG"-esque soloing dizzying, offset by super play from Mike (who sounds great across the entire recording). More great guitar follows, with Trey working up and down a series of scales, before locking in upon an incredible theme. Brief and compact, the version finds all four members playing with purpose and passion, thus offering something for everybody. |
1991-02-03 | Bowie | Burlington, VT | 13:05 | A very good jam with several different grooves, well beyond standard fare. Great Mike! |
1991-02-08 | Antelope | Portsmouth, NH | 10:12 | Mean and nasty spirited beast of a jam with extreme tension. |
1991-02-15 | Bowie | Keene, NH | 12:04 | "The Sounds of Silence" ->'s into a wonderfully noisy version, featuring improvisation that marks the very best "Bowie's," and, in spirit, Phish, generally. Following great composed play, hear a radical departure from the song, proper. Here, too, is a jam that is somehow both of (crazy changes and playful nature) and beyond (an expertly placed false-ending) its time. This is music for all ages. |
1991-02-15 | Bag | Keene, NH | 6:40 | Fast as a Fall '95 "Reba," this centerpiece "Bag" is an improvisational bonanza, showcasing truly unusual and adventurous play. A series of stop/start passages invites inventive exploration (read: Mike) before Trey lays into some seriously crazy sustain; this builds to intense soloing which somehow works to reshape the song's structure, the four then casually whipping through a fierce, fun, glasses-tinkling conclusion. |
1991-02-19 | Bowie | Washington, DC | 12:34 | Good intro. Raging "Type I" version with an unusual stop mid-jam (possibly the power went out). |
1991-02-19 | SOAMelt | Washington, DC | 8:06 | Beginning of the jam is very cool with several near stops by the band. Then there's piercing, ear-splitting playing by Trey. |
1991-02-19 | Magilla | Washington, DC | 5:20 | Page-written, Trey-driven. Or so it often seems. Here, Trey works in a "Theme from the Flintstones" tease before easing through a series of slashing, jazzy chords, and a bright, melodic line. Fish solos, making for a great outro. "Fire" follows to cap off this cool encore. |
1991-02-20 | Tweezer | Richmond, VA | 11:09 | Listen to Fish HOWL. |
1991-02-21 | Bowie | Charlottesville, VA | 12:52 | Jam begins with heavy "Manteca"-like jamming, then grows extremely shrill and dissonant. |
1991-02-22 | Antelope | Chapel Hill, NC | 11:22 | Aggressive Trey in a dissonant jam with strong Evil Mike in a slightly jazzy mode. |
1991-03-08 | Stash | Tuscaloosa, AL | 9:15 | First version that really stretches beyone standard "Stash." Somewhat dissonant, with interesting Trey soloing. |
1991-03-08 | Tweezer | Tuscaloosa, AL | 6:46 | INSANE version, with an extra guitarist and a trombonist from Aquarium Rescue Unit. Includes "DEG" with Trey uttering McArthur Park lyrics. |
1991-03-08 | DEG | Tuscaloosa, AL | 1:05 | -> in from "Tweezer." "DEG" is sandwiched inside "Tweezer" with ARU playing alongside. |
1991-03-08 | Tweezer | Tuscaloosa, AL | 2:27 | -> in from "DEG" to complete this "Tweezer." |
1991-03-16 | SOAMelt | Breckenridge, CO | 7:54 | Unusual jam in which Trey plays a series of descending melodies, then ascending, descending, etc. Good dissonance too. |
1991-03-17 | Esther | Aspen, CO | 9:26 | Cool intro. This leads to a really "chilled out" and relaxed vibe, with Trey's solo particularly nuanced, strikingkly hushed, and patient. Near reverent. Super Page and strong percussion lead to a fiery close. |
1991-03-22 | Antelope | Steamboat Springs, CO | 9:42 | Really good and unsual vocal jam in the intro, followed by a pugnacious jam with sick Mike and Trey. |
1991-03-23 | Possum | Steamboat Springs, CO | 8:21 | Great jam with some cool, repeated licks that Trey lays out, and with Page on the B-3 for much of the jam. |
1991-04-02 | Possum | Arcata, CA | 6:56 | Teases and signals in the jam (see Setlist). Definitely an odd, off-kilter sort of jam. (*Recording runs out before ending). |
1991-04-03 | Bowie | Ashland, OR | 11:08 | Trey starts the jam in the low octave range, giving the jam an evil tone. As he works up the register, the tension ratchets up, and the trill section is a shred fest with Fish also going berserk. |
1991-04-04 | Bowie | Eugene, OR | 12:55 | An upward spiraling, malevolent jam, as demented as they get, eventually gives way to insane shredding by Big Red. |
1991-04-06 | Magilla | Olympia, WA | 4:15 | "Magilla" in inverse, with Page in the lead-off solo position and Trey adding fills. The two swap roles, and fantastic playing ensues. Everyone is on point, and everyone solos. Sunny. Bright. |
1991-04-19 | Antelope | Buffalo, NY | 9:49 | Mike and Fish establish a good groove over which Trey adds layers of dissonance, including ear splitting wailing. |
1991-04-20 | Reba | Rochester, NY | 11:56 | Terrific, soaring Trey, complimented by full-band play with the musicians working in concert through a calculated passage of metered time and measured space. |
1991-04-26 | Possum | Plymouth, NH | 8:28 | Solid, mildly dissonant jam that picks up a serious head of steam. |
1991-04-27 | Possum | Port Chester, NY | 8:18 | Great intro and a nice and different jam with cool staccato picking by Trey. |
1991-04-27 | Tweezer | Port Chester, NY | 10:02 | Very strong early version. "Dr. Q" on the bass! Trey teases "Sweet Emotion." |
1991-05-02 | Possum | Poughkeepsie, NY | 9:56 | Cool intro with "Wipeout" teases. Jazz-like jam early with pulsing rhythm. Great Machine Gun Trey action follows. |
1991-05-03 | Tweezer | Somerville, MA | 10:00 | "Sweet Emotion" quote/jam. |
1991-05-03 | Runaway Jim | Somerville, MA | 6:49 | Another example of what makes the band so special. Tight, full-band play, featuring truly dynamic percussion "within" wonderful phrasing and a wild, vivid, yet wholly controlled array of notes from Trey. Cools > "Tela". |
1991-05-03 | YEM | Somerville, MA | 17:55 | Great VJ! |
1991-05-12 | Magilla | Burlington, VT | 5:20 | Dave Grippo on saxophone. Horns and jazz go hand in hand, and so horns with "Magilla" are a logical and terrific way to add colorful texture to the soundscape. Here, Grippo provides a new twist on this "standard," inspiring strong playing by all. |
1991-05-12 | Mike's | Burlington, VT | 6:17 | With the Dude of Life on vocals and Dave Grippo on saxophone. The Dude adds several verses and is hysterical. Grippo is excellent, making the jam far more interesting than most versions from late '88 - late '91. Even the little 2nd jam is great. Check it out! |
1991-05-17 | CDT | Providence, RI | 9:56 | A brief blackout occurs during this version. Fishman continues playing, and is joined by Carl Gerhard on trumpet. Power comes back and a jazzy jam ensues. |
1991-05-17 | Magilla | Providence, RI | 5:11 | Carl Gerhard on trumpet. The sound of a trumpet is qualitatively different than saxophone, but both sound terrific with "Magilla." Fun "Flintstones Theme" teasing by Gerhard is icing on the cake, and Fish has some great action too. |
1991-07-12 | Bag | Keene, NH | 5:43 | Giant Country Horns (who also played on 7/14/91, 7/21/91, and 7/25/91). Horns are a great addition. This version was released on Live Phish Vol. 19. |
1991-07-12 | Mike's | Keene, NH | 6:27 | Giant Country Horns version, definitely worth checking out if you haven't heard "Mike's" avec horns before. GCH also performed on "Mike's" in 1991 on July 11, 14, 15, 18, 21, 23, 25, and 27. |
1991-07-12 | Weekapaug | Keene, NH | 6:00 | Great jazzy Mike in the intro, then from about 3:00 - 3:45, the jam takes on an atypical but melodic and uplifting feel. |
1991-07-14 | Reba | Townshend, VT | 12:33 | Trey's poised and passionate soloing belies this stellar show-opening version's early date. After weaving through multiple expressive phrases, he heartily peaks the jam with a strong assist from Fish. |
1991-07-14 | Possum | Townshend, VT | 8:45 | Awesome and very improvisational version with a different approach to the jam, a "DEG" tease and a roaring peak. |
1991-07-14 | Magilla | Townshend, VT | 5:24 | Giant Country Horns. This fun version includes great Page soloing with strong Mike backing, then Dave Grippo leads the horn section. And Fish seems to love the jazz drumming action. Other horn versions not included on this chart: 1991 - 2/8, 4/16, 5/16, 7/19, 7/25, 11/20; 1994 4/15, 5/4. |
1991-07-14 | Hood | Townshend, VT | 10:30 | A little "Theme from Jeopardy" teasing kicks off a strong jam with creative playing by Trey and solid backing from Page and Mike. |
1991-07-19 | Tweezer | Somerville, MA | 11:32 | Giant Country Horns, and Fishman vocalizations (and improvised lyrics) over the jam, help make this an atypically fierce version. |
1991-07-21 | Gumbo | Parksville, NY | 6:36 | With the Giant Country Horns, this widely-circulated Arrowhead Ranch version is must hear. |
1991-07-24 | YEM | Charlottesville, VA | 17:04 | With the Giant Country Horns! "Wilson" teasing from Mike. |
1991-07-24 | Possum | Charlottesville, VA | 8:03 | Different intro, different sort of jam. In other words, another solid '91 "Possum." |
1991-07-26 | YEM | Athens, GA | 17:12 | Fantastic jam segment with the Giant Country Horns! |
1991-07-26 | Tweezer | Athens, GA | 11:30 | Strong version with the Giant Country Horns. |
1991-08-03 | Foam | Auburn, ME | 8:32 | Excellent early version from Amy's Farm. Delicate meanderings by Trey followed by a great full band peak foreshadow the epic version from 12/14/95 that would happen 4+ years later. Thanks to @Curtiss for unearthing this one. |
1991-08-03 | Reba | Auburn, ME | 11:39 | Trey's wonderful tone in the jam proves the perfect antidote for a minor flub in the composed section. Fish drives a fiery jam, with Trey riffing through a set of wonderful ideas, delivering cool blasts of notes markedly sustained, culminating in more "DEG"-like playing. |
1991-09-25 | Brother | Keene, NH | 5:17 | Debut. First version includes some pretty ferocious, intense playing by Trey. |
1991-09-25 | It's Ice | Keene, NH | 9:25 | Debut in Keene, NH. First version includes Page-led, band-wide jam following the descending chords indicating the lyrical skater's fall through the ice. |
1991-09-25 | Possum | Keene, NH | 9:12 | Good pulsing, exploratory early part to the jam that gets very rocking. "Rhapsody In Blue" tease and signals too. |
1991-09-26 | It's Ice | Ithaca, NY | 8:59 | Good rocking and somewhat dissonant jam section with great Fish. |
1991-09-27 | It's Ice | Rochester, NY | 9:21 | Some excellent tension building by Page and Trey in the jam segment. |
1991-09-27 | Possum | Rochester, NY | 8:43 | Great rock-the-house version with excellent Mike and Fish. While not highly improvisational, it's just solid through and through, and includes amusing banter before the song. |
1991-09-27 | Suzy | Rochester, NY | 5:12 | Great Page and Fish on this rocking version, who briefly drive the ship into out of bounds territory. Timing may be longer due to a cut in the recording. |
1991-09-28 | Brother | Buffalo, NY | 5:14 | Thanks to @OrangeSox for pointing out this ripper, in which it sounds like Frank Zappa temporarily possessed Trey's body and soul. |
1991-10-04 | Magilla | Madison, WI | 4:15 | Page opts for his organ to employ cool, spacey effects. A cosmic, studio sort of sound, which greatly enhances the jam. Trey modifies his tone, accordingly. Page reverts to a more traditional sound and solos ensue before the band makes a nice > into "David Bowie." |
1991-10-04 | Bowie | Madison, WI | 10:51 | Almost immediately breaks from the standard. Strong and dissonant improvisation, with an unexpected section of quiet space before the storm rebuilds. Short but powerful. |
1991-10-06 | Brother | St. Paul, MN | 5:27 | Although it starts off a little tamely, this version quickly kicks into gear with all the elements of great early versions - wild jamming, exotic texture, and dissonance with a capital "D." |
1991-10-06 | Hood | St. Paul, MN | 12:26 | Nice bubbly flow to the beginning of the jam. Trey adds some great soloing, then the jam builds up to a solid peak. |
1991-10-10 | Brother | Eugene, OR | 5:36 | You can hear Trey say "Hey Fish, let's really rock it" right before they start this one. This is a classic with insanely nimble guitar playing, loads of shrill dissonance, and some mind bending, shrieking guitar effects. |
1991-10-11 | Bowie | Seattle, WA | 11:35 | The jam, very much based on "Cavern," is pretty cool. Returns to "Bowie" for a solid wrap-up. |
1991-10-12 | Brother | Portland, OR | 4:31 | Artis the Spoonman as gueat artist. A very different "Brother" with Page taking the lead on organ, and some very cool percussion work from Fish and Artis the Spoonman on spoons. Trey is very restrained until the end when he cranks it up. |
1991-10-13 | Reba | Olympia, WA | 12:41 | Mike and Fish lay the foundation for a really great, groove-based jam. Nothing over the top. Just really thoughtful and attentive playing, with Page providing on-point fills. Trey's playing is patient and plucky, which affords room for a great build and a huge payoff, if not quite traditional "peak." |
1991-10-13 | Weekapaug | Olympia, WA | 5:18 | A dissonant and exotic sounding jam, almost like Trey is layering the "Brother" jam on top of "Weekapaug." |
1991-10-18 | Runaway Jim | San Francisco, CA | 7:24 | The Great American Music Hall provides the stage for one of the greatest examples of an emerging Phish staple, the affectionately labeled: "Runaway Foam". First, Fish is awesome. Second, Trey makes a number of subtle and savvy moves that lay the foundation - or at least functions as illustration - for "Jim's" inevitable groundbreaking potential. |
1991-10-18 | Brother | San Francisco, CA | 5:45 | Once this one kicks into overdrive, it's really excellent with chaos and screaming guitar sounds. |
1991-10-24 | Bowie | Prescott, AZ | 14:13 | Excellent intro (which begins at 1:18 on "TMWSIY" on the Spreadsheet and PhishTracks versions). Nice rocking and ripping jam is followed by an insane trill section which lots of wild screaming. |
1991-10-24 | Tube | Prescott, AZ | 3:08 | First version to include the customary guitar solo to end the jam. |
1991-10-24 | Slave | Prescott, AZ | 7:27 | In its final appearance for 2 years and 241 shows, "Slave" hints at its innate and powerful potential. Beginning with Page leading on the keyboard, Fish and Mike bring the power up, while Trey's initially soaring play turns to powerful trilling, a perfect template from which the band would expand. |
1991-10-28 | Bowie | Telluride, CO | 12:37 | -> in from "Fee." Hits a melodic, major mode groove briefly before descending back into darkness. |
1991-10-30 | Jam | 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. |
1991-10-31 | YEM | Colorado Springs, CO | 16:27 | Siiiiiiick jam segment. |
1991-10-31 | Bowie | Colorado Springs, CO | 13:52 | A hilarious intro with elements of "Wait." Doesn't take long for Trey to get hooked on a repetitive melodic theme, but once the band tires of it, semi-dissonant "type II" improv ensues, though an "Oom Pah Pah" signal puts a stop to it and they return to a traditional "Bowie" jam. |
1991-11-07 | Reba | New Orleans, LA | 11:03 | A fast and frenetic composed section gives way to an awesome jam which, among other attributes - great shifts in rhythm and tempo, "Dave's Energy Guide" teasing - features playing evoking elements of "Divided Sky" (7:50). Compact, energetic, and experimental, a noticeable step forward in the song's evolution. |
1991-11-07 | Bowie | New Orleans, LA | 13:58 | The Aquarium Rescue Unit joins the band. Great version with awesome scat singing early on followed by "DEG"-like jamming and an explosive ending. |
1991-11-07 | HYHU | New Orleans, LA | 1:00 | Familiar "HYHU" intro includes members of Aquarium Rescue Unit, and -> to an improvisational take on Syd Barrett's "Love You." |
1991-11-07 | Love You | New Orleans, LA | 6:00 | The band departs "The 'A' Train" having picked up members of The Aquariam Rescue Unit. The musicians lend color and character to the usually predictable "HYHU" jam, and the playing that ensues may leave you surrendering to the air, or simply tapping your foot. Fish's spoken-word "Love You" is more an afterthought, as the music, less Syd Barrett and more Tom Waits, becomes an industrial sort of groove, surprisingly musical and eminently listenable. |
1991-11-07 | HYHU | New Orleans, LA | 0:21 | > in from a wild "Love You," which includes members of Aquarium Rescue Unit, to complete the traditional Fish-out-front comedic moment. |
1991-11-07 | Possum | New Orleans, LA | 8:11 | "Barney Miller Theme" tease, signals and some brief but really cool key changes near the end of a seriously raging jam. Archival release from Live Phish. |
1991-11-08 | Brother | Tuscaloosa, AL | 6:14 | The Wailing Banshee version. With "Brother," more twisted and mind exploding = better. |
1991-11-08 | Weekapaug | Tuscaloosa, AL | 8:17 | An improvisational jam for this period includes contrasting dissonant/upbeat sentiments and a cool swinging section beginning at 5:20, which includes Trey chanting "A slice of pizza" and "A bucket of lard" several times. Charlie Chan and Simpsons signals taboot. |
1991-11-08 | Jam | Tuscaloosa, AL | 0:57 | > in from "JJLC." Dissonant intro jam for the Dude of Life (Steve Pollak) precedes the Dude singing vocals on "Self." |
1991-11-09 | Fluffhead | Atlanta, GA | 14:04 | Few versions of this incredibly challenging song approach perfection, but this is one of the few, and for that reason is must-hear. The early, technically challenging sections are nearly spotless. Then the entire band gets on a red-hot tear working through Who Do? We Do! In Clod, Page and Mike are fantastic. Trey's blistering solo in Arrival is top notch. And Fish, he just crushes all 14 minutes of this superb rendering. |
1991-11-09 | Tweezer | Atlanta, GA | 11:11 | Several quick "Band on the Run" teases from Trey. |
1991-11-12 | Brother | Athens, GA | 5:17 | In addition to the customary dissonance and sick playing by Trey, this version also includes lots of great Page on the B-3, and some excellent playing by Mike. |
1991-11-12 | Magilla | Athens, GA | 4:09 | Cool version with Trey's solo featuring a theme similar to "All Things Reconsidered," earlier teased. Laid-back and breezy full-band playing. |
1991-11-13 | Bowie | Davidson, NC | 13:56 | A prototypical early '90s version with an excellent, signal and tease-infused intro, a searing, intense, tension-loaded straightforward jam, and a raging and shredding trill section. |
1991-11-14 | It's Ice | Chapel Hill, NC | 9:10 | Brief Page solo, then the whole band gets rocking. Sweet! |
1991-11-16 | Gin | Washington, DC | 7:41 | Good early "Gin." The jam (like most from pre-August '93) is grinding, decelerating and somewhat dissonant. Nothing like the melodic hose jams that would emerge later. This one also has amusing screaming and yelling at the end. |
1991-11-16 | Brother | Washington, DC | 5:53 | Some unusual bass lines from Mike and organ playing by Page create a strong sense of tension in this ripper. |
1991-11-16 | YEM | Washington, DC | 20:54 | Must-hear jam segment; legendary "Mrs. Pizza Shit" YEM. |
1991-11-19 | Weekapaug | New Britain, CT | 6:45 | Melodic jam includes teases of "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" (really more of a jam) and "Divided Sky," as well as expected Machine Gun Trey action. |
1991-11-20 | Brother | Providence, RI | 4:42 | Carl Gerhard on trumpet. "Brother" already has an exotic sound to it. That sentiment is only enhanced with the addition of a trumpet to the mix. |
1991-11-21 | Esther | Somerville, MA | 9:42 | An especially thoughtful and busy intro sets the foundation for a strong version featuring dynamic playing and impressive modulation, with particularly strong contributions from Page and inventive soloing from Trey. |
1991-11-21 | Weekapaug | Somerville, MA | 10:12 | First "Weekapaug" to really break out into an extended improvisational jam, with significant exploratory play, an excellent tease/jam of "On Broadway," signals, a fiery peak, and multiple endings. |
1991-11-22 | Brother | Portland, ME | 6:07 | While it's far less dissonant than most early versions, there is some truly amazing playing by Trey in this one. Fish and Mike are also strong. |
1991-11-22 | Divided | Portland, ME | 13:30 | Unusually long jam for this period. Trey is absolutely on fire in this one. |
1991-11-23 | Runaway Jim | Barre, VT | 7:35 | Right around the 3:40 mark Trey alights upon an incredible groove, which he works through any number of nuanced, melodic changes. Incredibly, Page keeps pace, and the version builds not so much to peak as to crest upon the strength of really strong play before, eventually, Trey goes off. |
1991-11-24 | Bowie | Hanover, NH | 18:21 | Long intro with signals and banter while Trey hands out bathrobes to crew members. The largely straightforward jam includes spiraling tension and "DEG"-like jamming. |
1991-11-24 | YEM | Hanover, NH | 20:56 | Easily among the sickest versions of YEM before 1993, every segment is tight and fierce, with the jam segment containing an almost Tweezer-Reprise-esque groove for awhile, as well as a "Waiting So Long" jam at one point, and it dissolves slowly and steadily and then an insane vocal jam begins...and the vj ends in sporadic click-clack vocalizations. Hear at all costs. |
1991-11-30 | Llama | Port Chester, NY | 4:42 | Unfrickenbelievable. |
1991-11-30 | Brother | Port Chester, NY | 6:02 | After a gentle, settling "Squirming Coil", we have something akin to a combination of "Carini" and "46 Days" on steroids, except that this "Brother" was performed 6 years before either of those beasts were hatched. |
1991-11-30 | YEM | Port Chester, NY | 19:44 | Wild VJ. |
1991-11-30 | Hood | Port Chester, NY | 13:28 | Great and playful intro. The jam is excellent and rocking, and Machine Gun Trey's playing is simply incredible. |
1991-11-30 | It's Ice | Port Chester, NY | 8:57 | Another version in which the whole band kicks in after letting Page shine briefly. |
1991-12-06 | Magilla | Middlebury, VT | 3:16 | Super, compact, and tease-filled (see "show notes"), Page powers through this fun, dynamic version, which modulates nicely before a > into "The Landlady." A really great version, and a really great pairing. |
1991-12-06 | Possum | Middlebury, VT | 16:06 | Extended hihat intro, during which the band repeats "Wait" over and over for 5:30, and then play Simpson's language. Fish asks the crowd, "Can I hear you say yes? Can I...Boner?" At 8:53 they return to Possum, teasing "Wait," and engaging in the "stop and start" style of improv, and trey teases "Buried Alive." Version finishes with a "Turning Japanese" tease. |
1991-12-07 | Reba | Portsmouth, NH | 11:41 | Still tinkering, this "Reba" is notable for a very cool and unique jam, which finds Mike out front early, creating a bouncy, infectious beat. Trey modifies both his tone and the intensity of his playing, before alighting upon a jazzy sort of theme. He then runs rapid-fire through a series of notes, before whipping the band into a controlled frenzy which ends dramatically. |
1991-12-31 | Stash | Worcester, MA | 8:37 | Another great early version that stretches the "Type I" boundary and is well-played and loaded with tension. |
1991-12-31 | Llama | Worcester, MA | 4:35 | > in from "Esther." Page is sick; Trey is very demented. |
1991-12-31 | Runaway Jim | Worcester, MA | 7:30 | Eons before there was life upon a "Soul Planet", there was "Runaway Jim". > from "ALS", this New Year's rocker blends some imaginative aspects of the year's strongest versions, before, as was so often the case, bleeding into crazy, frenzied play from Fish and Trey. A fitting finale for one of 1991's finest songs. |
1991-12-31 | Tweezer | Worcester, MA | 13:00 | Highly praised, this version's jam features Trey mellifluously leading on his 'doc. |
1991-12-31 | Mike's | Worcester, MA | 7:42 | The first jam is solid but typical for this period. But the 2nd jam, which breaks into a great percussive and rocking groove is really the first noteworthy instance of the 2nd jam. In nearly all prior versions, the 2nd jam had been little more than chaotic, dissonant playing. |
