3/14/93 Western State College Gym, Gunnison, CO Sloppy first 10 seconds (before the TWANG/TING), since Page was
a little off (he wasn't really ready, apparently). Not a great start, but the rest of the opening is fine. Nirvana at 3:41 after an
uneventful build. Mike's solo section is unusually delightful and almost jovial.. Mike's got the happy feet. Trey's soloing in the
pre-charge is very groovy and melodious.. and his first shot at The Note at 5:48 or so is sustained dramatically and just
awesome. No jammin around it, though. Just sustained out. Second note is well-jammed.. not sustained. "Boy" at 7:02 after an
ok scream from Trey.. and an "ow" from Trey before "Man." There's an echo in this WUDMTF segment, and some ch-ch
noises.. and some groovy repetitive stuff from Trey. Great WUDMTF segment!! VERY Upbeat, taboot! Tramps jam at 9
minutes.. Owner of a Lonely Heart jam around 10:30 in this tramps segment.. joy. Jam segment starts out around 11 and there's
almost immediately a Low Rider Jam of sorts.. nothing that grand, really. They are just having FUN.. jam kinda dies out,
though, and is in a stop/start sort of groove for awhile. At 13:15 Trey starts teasing "Spooky" big time, but then drops back into
Low Rider for a tease of ITS theme for another 30 seconds.. At 14 minutes, though, Trey just gently noodles.. Fish jerks
around, too, quietly. And then at 14:15 Trey starts up on Spooky severely (and Mike gets into it). Page starts singing "Spooky,"
and the others join in for a Spooky *JAM*. Trey solos Spooky around 15:15 for a few measures, and then starts ripping it up
about 30 seconds later. Just one verse of "Spooky" in here, but plenty of jamming around that theme. Then they break out of
Spooky around 16:10 and launch into a YEM Santana-esque jam.. there we go. Oye Como Va jam at 16:30 solidly, with
everyone just wailing away on Oye Como Va!! =^] (I loooove Santana) Some great jammin from Trey in here!! Yikes! Still
Oye Como Va jamming around 17:30.. and then B&D at 17:35, with Mike teasing Oye Como Va at first (and then Page gets
into it). Mike just wigs out in here!! Niiice soloing!! Final WUDMTF segment at 19. Very fast psychotic vocal jamming at first..
"What the hell.." from Trey at one point. At 21:25, though, they start up WE WILL ROCK YOU (Queen) vocal jamming, then
Trey starts singing it (and cracks up laughing..).. Only one verse of this crap fortunately.. Fish is moaning from the pain.. ;) This
We will rock you stuff segues into "Welcome to the Machine," which Trey also sings The Primary Lines of.... =^] Highly
amusing, and certainly recommended... but there's more crap after this.. more vocal nonsense.... "ARRRRR" "SCURVVVVVY
DOGS!!!!" "TEQUILA!!!" "I KILL YOU.. HA HA HA." 24:24 total time (then Lifeboy.. I love these old versions of Lifeboy..
I wish Trey would bring back The Old Opening to Lifeboy). This teasefest YEM gets an A- easy.
