Bob_Loblaw Quite possibly the best show of 1998.

Super rare Makisupa opener. Good -> into Ya Mar as usual and Ya Mar is played very very well. Gumbo has a fantastic solo and quickly goes into some very fluid mucky funk. Divided Sky is excellent and very well played. These sets are so good even Waste is a noteworthy version. My Soul has killer solos not just by Page but also Trey, one of the best versions.

2001 kicks off the short 2nd set. This is the only version that I believe rivals the legendary Great Went version. While I'm not a huge fan of long Type 1 jams this one is excellent and very easy on my ears. Mike's Song comes ripping in. The initial jam just rips as usual, but the 2nd is quite peaceful and beautiful. Fantastic cohesive and well played Weekapaug. It goes all over the place, yet it all works so perfectly. This is one of those sets where you truly feel the guys could do no wrong even if they tried. Character Zero is incendiary and one great zap to the brain to end this excellent set.

PYITE Encore? Sign me up! And Trey just nails it!

This show arguably displays the very best of '98 its exploratory. They nail every note. And everything is thoughtful. 5 Stars!
