Opening is ok.. Nirvana isn't that exciting,
unfortunately. Just sounds a bit uncertain at its
beginning. Dubious. The First Note is fine, even though
Trey comes in a half beat before everyone else. Everyone
is right on for the Second Note.. Charge at 4:56.
"Boy" at 5:14. WUDMTF segment standard. Tramps jam at
7:25. Typical great stuff from Page. Trey breaks out
jamming excitedly at 9 minutes. Some early trilling
around 9:30... very thematic jamming from Trey in here.
Fantastic jam!! Just great accompaniment and very
melodically pleasing wailing from Trey. 'Tis a jam with a
purpose.. this version ain't run of the mill! Great above
average jam segment in here, imo, with bass and drums
early at 11:48 or so. Mike is fairly reserved again..
nothing that amazing from him.. laid back. WUDMTF closing
segment at 12:24. Vocal jam isn't THAT good, all things
considered, although it is close to Small Furry Creatures
in parts.. what is GREAT is the segue into Possum, though,
and the vocal jamming in Possum. Possum starts up at
15:45 or so, with everyone still vocal jamming, especially
Trey.. in rhythm with Possum.. I LOVE THIS OPENING TO
POSSUM!!!!!!! (C+ rating)
FWIW, 3/1/90 is a great tape.. Rhombus Story.. nice
jamming. Highly recommended (and this comes from someone
who is liquidating nearly all of his 2/90-6/90 tapes).
