I’m glad I get to share a birthday with our dearest Tubbs. His 60th this year, my 18th. 93 is such a fun year. So much energy all around.

I love the positivity in Loving Cup, lots of love. Trey’s solo in Melt is stunning. Almost hurts to listen to, so heavy. Page’s work in Fee is beautiful -> a hot, hot Maze. Trey and Page both rip it to shreds. Col. Forbin > Mockingbird is amazing. Really fun narration, very solid renditions. Myfe is exceptionally solid, great Trey material. The birthday boy gives us a great drum solo in Moby Dick (dick.. dick.. dick..) -> more excellent Trey material in Bowie. Impeccable energy.

It’s Ice is much more unnerving than usual, eerie stuff. Great Page material > Paul & Silas is a pleasant grass performance. YEM has a lot of extra spunk to it. I love the ambient section, and everyone’s solos at the end are all so good. Great vocal jam > Ya Mar. Lots of happy energy in this one, it’ll make you feel like it’s summer out there. Lawn Boy slows down the juice for a little bit, and Page shows off his sexy pipes. Funky Bitch is one of the best versions I’ve heard, Jimmy Herring takes this one to new highs. Phish and Panic in harmony at last. Llama has some excellent shredding from Trey and Jimmy.

Bag has great closing energy. Trey is still on point.

Page is just gorgeous in this show, the baby grand changes the sound so much. Trey is also on point this whole time; most of 93, really. The guys are havin’ fun out there; this show doesn’t take itself too seriously, which allows small glimpses of greatness to shine through the weird. If you aren’t able to listen all the way through, check out the Moby Bowie, YEMar, and the Funky Bitch w/ Herring.
