5/9/89 THE FRONT, Burlington, VT

Opening is basically standard, only there are many more
intentional rim shots from Fish than usual in the
instrumental opening. "Boy at 5:40".  Typical WUDMTF
segment.  During the Page-dominating part of the jam
segment (what is called the tramps jam nowadays), Trey
gets into a repetitive melodic groove that, along
with Fish's almost Rebajamsegment-esque rhythm, reminds me
a LITTLE of the 5/16/95 Lowell Reba.  Isn't nearly as
pleasing as the Lowell Reba, but it did remind me of it..

Trey's wailing in the jam segment (he cuts in at 10:12) is
total Jimmy Page.  Remarkably similar jamming to 5/28/89
Ian's, actually.  I just love it when Trey just goes
absolutely ape-shit as he does in here (he has NOT
CONSISTENTLY entertained us with jamming this intense in
YEM in the last few years).  Just siiiick wailing in here.

Great Bass and Drums, with Page and Trey really laying
back, letting Mike and Fish groove.  At 15:05, the WUDMTF
chorus enters, and then the segue into the vocal jam.  It
is a fun vocal jam, with Trey appearing to repeat "Oh,
sucking a bone" over and over again.. and some AUD member
yelling "DRUM SOLO" at the very end (16:30 or so).  And
then Trey screams "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, FISH'S BASS
DRUM!!!"  (Fish was just tapping the bass drum in here..
during the whole vocal jam.. and then he picked it up a
bit, after Trey's scream, and then Trey teased Moby Dick..
;)  then La Grange kicked in.. great old show!) (B-/C+ rating)
