The timing of this might be fudged. My copy sounds a bit
slower than it should be. No serious pre-Nirvana build,
as usual for these old versions. Nirvana at 1:51. Some
pleasant piano from Page in the Nirvana segment, and some
melodious notes from Mike in his solo-section. The
pre-charge is kinda fudged at a couple points, but isn't
that bad. Trey hits both Notes well, and the jamming
enclosing them is fun. Nothing GRAND, though.
"Boy" at 5:28. WUDMTF segment is standard, although given
the slightly slow speed of this dub, this version sounds
ultra-grooooooovy. Tramps segment has some through the
motions fun from everyone.. nothing special.
Jam segment at 9:23. Trey noodles melodiously and quickly
from the start, but slows down a bit after twenty seconds
or so, getting a tad repetitive. After the ten minute
point, he has clearly found a theme of sorts upon which to
dance, and dance he does. Just nothing too fierce. Some
well-placed sustain, and some trills, make this jam
segment great, but nothing especially above average. The
accompaniment from the others is great, too, as usual. No
surprises here (no teases of other tunes or anything).
Just a straightforward YEM jam that you all have heard in
spirit and in form, as meritorious as usual..
Bass and drums at 11:53 or so. Mike is very active and
inspired in here, but it just doesn't last that long, with
the final WUDMTF segment kicking in around 12:32 (with
mike and fish jamming until the vocal jam, which kicks in
at 12:50). This vocal jam contains some weird effects in
it (sounds like Paul was doing weird things on the board
while they were vocal jamming... not altering their
voices, but adding some weird computerized sounds of some
sort). A fun vocal jam, but nothing to seek. Although
the animal noises towards the end (some serious snorts)
are great! ;-) Total time 16:12 (then oh kee pah).
