spreaditround SET 1: Limb By Limb: Killer funk jam at the end. Crazy having Gullotti on this, overload.

Dogs Stole Things: Gullotti does not sound great in this intro, IMHO. >

Poor Heart: Standard.

Stash: This thing goes amazeballs around the 9 and a half minute mark. Just explodes. Things get very dirty and dissonant around 11:30 and beyond. Super intense. Things settle at 12:30 and things get very quiet. No peak and abruptly goes for the finish around 14:20. Kind of a lost opportunity.

Billy Breathes: Trey introduces Bob G. Sounds too aggressive with Bob G.

Cars Trucks Buses: Standard but lively!

Dirt: Trey crushes this solo as typical in summer 97. Super clean and big peaks. Perfect lead into…

You Enjoy Myself: Rock solid YEM. No B&D, no VJ. Trey messes with Izabella for almost a full minute before totally committing – pretty cool. ->

Izabella: Machine gun Trey, just blisters this one, Rock God!

SET 2: Timber (Jerry the Mule) – Trey’s tone starting at 3:18, that guitar GROWLS – LOVE THIS. Hard charging, largely psychedelic jam. Goes into very, very deep space around the 14 minute mark, sits there for about a minute and a half and then they go for the closing refrain and lyrics. All timer Timber >

David Bowie: Crazy long intro with nasty effects and an interesting jam from Mike and the two drummers get a nice groove going too. Finally breaks into the song proper around 6 and half minutes in. Still not as long as the 8.5 minute intro from 8.10.97 Deer Creek. Gullotti is all over the place in the composed section – lol – specifically in the late 7’s and early 8’s. Trey creates a really cool theme around 17:30 and rides that for one minute. Things really heat up from here. Page sounds amazing. Smoking closing section. Really enjoy this version and surprised it is not a jamcharts version.

Harry Hood: Standard…until… ->

Blister in the Sun Jam: Crowd loves it when they realize what is going on ->

Harry Hood: This section goes along as you would expect until it doesn’t, it gets a little crazy and then out of nowhere ->

Free: Trey goes way off the beaten Free path in the mid 4’s but is back to what you would consider for a 97 Free jam at the 5 minute mark. Very fun, bouncy jam in the middle portion. Definitely a solid Free that I would recommend.

Waste: Trey absolutely crushes this solo, outstanding work. >

Johnny B. Goode: Trey puts on a clinic on how to shred like a Rock God!

ENCORE: Bouncing Around the Room – Standard.

Cavern: Trey blows some lyrics and laughs it off. It almost sounds like something made him laugh first and then got him off track perhaps instead of him actually forgetting lyrics.

Replay Value: Limb By Limb, Timber (Jerry the Mule), David Bowie, Free

Summary: I feel like this show is slightly underrated - 3.935/5 (123 ratings) – I think with the all timer Timber and then other very solid highlights such as LxL with a very unique ending, very strong Bowie and Free plus that YEM > Izabella – this tome is a 4.1 out of 5. Definitely a nice pick as a dark horse type of show. Gotta love the Gullotti guest spot.
