spreaditround SET 1: Dinner and a Movie: Big bust out – LTP 10.22.94 – 93 show gap. Played well. Good tune to get this one started. >

Bouncing Around the Room: Super rough intro, thought they were going to have to restart it or nuke it but the power through it. >

Reba: The beginning is played very fast. Don’t know how they kept up with the vocals, it was just that fast. The Sip section is unfortunately pretty sloppy. They recover rather quickly though. This Reba really does go for it. A for effort, B+ for execution. Solid enough version.

Lawn Boy: The Chairman of the Boards.

Punch You in the Eye: Can’t ever go wrong anywhere in the first set with this tune. >

Slave to the Traffic Light: Fantastic mid first set Slave!

I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome: Standard.

Sample in a Jar: Standard.

SET 2: AC/DC Bag: Trey botches these lyrics: I'm running so fast my feet don't touch the ground >

Sparkle: Not super tight exactly. >

Free: Rhapsody in Blue tease by George Gershwin at 6:05, it’s so cool how Page slips this in there!

I'm So Tired: Second and last time played.

You Enjoy Myself: Check out the whistling in the pre-Nirvana section, similar to what was done in the 12.29.94 Bowie! Brick House tease by Commodores at 8:46. Page CRUSHES his leads in the tramps section. Trey funking it up big time in the 12’s, nasty! This goes on for a decent bit. Moving on from that, Mike lays it down incredibly well, he sounds amazing. If you are a Mike fan, then you need to listen or re-listen. In the 16- and 17-minute range, he is the leader, and he is dropping major bombs on the Coliseum. Very, very psychedelic in the 19’s and into the 20-minute range as Trey hits a sustained not and then layers these really cool effects over the top. Things continue to devolve after this, getting super weird as Trey gets back on his drum kit. Page is now leading, and they are building an impressive wall of sound. Trey is back on the doc @ 25:00 and shortly after that leads the band back into WUDMTF vocals, wow! Super cool! Shortly after that they head into the vocal jam. Unreal version, one of the best ever!

Contact: The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road – Mike “Am!” LOL! 5:48 >

Big Black Furry Creature from Mars: Intense!

Acoustic Army: Standard.

Big Black Furry Creature from Mars: Good stuff.

Cavern: Standard.

ENCORE: Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home? - Dr. Jack McConnell on vocals – very fun.

Summary: The first of 9 shows at this venue. Very short first set, just under 55 minutes. Solid Reba, great Slave, raging AC/DC Bag and YEM is an absolute all-timer! Damn good show.
