Whomever sent me this excellent DFOB-2, thank you. Amusing opening
to
the Buried Alive -- Trey repeats a theme of sorts, and Mike, I think,
says "Oh Yeah" into the mic a few times. This little theme segues
into Buried.. [Ed's Note: This is apparently a theme from a "Milky
Way" commercial.]
Quite standard opening for the YEM, with no pre-Nirvana segment groove
(Nirvana at 2:16), like all old versions. Mike's short solo section
at 3:03 is spooky.. Mike simply repeats a scary descending lick three
times. Pre-charge section takes off at 3:30 and flows smoothly.
Trampolines brought out on stage, it sounds like, given crowd noise.
Trey's first shot at The Note is hit flawlessly, and he proceeds to
jam well after hitting it. Second shot at The Note at 5:13 isn't
sustained, but is jammed on and about as well.
"Boy" at 5:48, after a good scream from Trey. Groovy WUDMTF segment,
with some good strong MIKE (he's really present in this excellent
quality FOB). Tramps segment at 7:58, and Mike begins the signals
soon for the tramps moves. Page plays steadily, patiently, and
practically teases "Landlady" around 8:40ish. Not that much action
from page until 9:08 when he starts grooving dankly with Mike _and_
Trey in support. . . This is phaaaaaaaat. ;)
Jam segment opens at 10:02 with Trey distorting a little bit before
beginning to solo melodiously. Very, VERY funkaaay stuff from
everyone in here, especially Mike's accompaniment. Trey stay
in the
low octaves of the 'doc, searching for a theme to repeat, which he
finds around 10:50, but then drops (he should have built up that
theme.. !). Trey begins raging around 11:15 or so.. just takes
off,
notes everywhere.. Very short..
At 11:55 Bass and Drums kick in, and Mike is patient at first.. but
he
picks it up around 12:10 and repetitively (but melodiously) solos.
Gets great around 12:30, and Fish accompanies well! :)
Mike and Fish
truly RIP it out around 13:10 for a few seconds, but otherwise don't
really tear it up..
At 13:37 the closing WUDMTF segment begins, and vocal jam kicks in the
usual 20 seconds later (Mike started it a bit early, actually).
"Three Blind Mice" theme in this vocal jam (wrong key, though, and
no
actual "Three Blind Mice" lyrics), at first. By 14:50, they just
make
rapid, vocal sounds in a frightening wall of sound manner. Some
clapping along from some audience members. I hear Trey clearly
repeat
"Lights out" for awhile at the end of the vocal jam (and the others
join in). Total time 17:39.
Fun YEM, but not all that impressive in light of all those I've
heard. I was disappointed that the jam segment was so short,
even
though it was great... B- rating.
two cents
