Caught amid a swath of official releases from August '93, I feel like this beauty gets unfairly overlooked by many Phans. Fire up Relisten and put this one on, cuz there's plenty to love right out the gate with an original-intro AC/DC Bag that jams out for a tiny, uncharacteristic moment. With no time to spare, Reba follows with magnificent gusto. The jam hear evolves quite a bit, with every member of the band pushing the mold of the tune to unrecognizable territory, but when it re-enters the Reba troposphere--hoo boy, the band is HOT and hits a massive splash landing. Check this one out on Live Bait Vol. 19. CDT shreds and Guelah has a few fun signals baked into the standard format. SOaM is our next slugger (SBD available on the SPAC From the Archives release)--choc full of fiery soloing, full-band teetering between Type I and Type II territory, some really awesome harmonic variance for some atypical major key jamming, and a pretty but subdued finish. The band sticks around a little longer on Page's Coil solo, adding some nice ambience that sort of reminds me of Fukuoka Jam at times.

The star of the show comes in Set 2: Landlady/Tweezer mash-up (available on Live Bait Vol. 4). Tweezer jam has some really swanky riff play between Mike and Trey, under which Fish works a nice off-beat groove. Some quieter, slightly dissonant passages pepper a more traditional Tweezer jam, alternating at the guide of Trey's Get Back signals. Very August '93. Just when things are slowing down and you think it's over, Landlady comes back for one more rent payment--the band is quick on this one! The rest of Set 2 has some fun song diversity and closes with a killer, improvisational Possum that just doesn't quit. Fishman's energy is out of control. Really excellent shit on this one.
