THE GOOD: This is a show of wild mood swings, which, as a whole leave it a bit weaker than the shows preceding it (and definitely those after), but there are some nice moments. Take the short wild jam at the end of Fee, the nice version of Glide, or the Crimes of the Mind closer (with the Dude!). But the shining star here is the Tweezer in set 2. Right around 5:00, the band collectively picks up on a happy progression that builds in speed and intensity for a solid 2 minutes. But, then things move straight towards hey-jam land, complete with Trey counting off in French and lots of screaming. It is tense and jarring, but eventually resolves wonderfully back to the original progression before shifting quietly to the beginning of Tela. It's a great recipe, one that would be followed at a higher level in jams over the following two weeks [e.g. Gin (8/13) and Antelope (8/14)]. It's definitely worth a listen.

THE BAD: Unfortunately, with the ups come the downs in this show, and there's a bunch. SOAM doesn't really go anywhere here, which is weird since the band knocked it out of the park previously (8/6). Trey butchers Dinner to the point that he basically stops playing. For some reason, the band adds the eerie screams in Coil that are featured on the album version, which is quite surprising and somewhat distracting.

ETC: Trey counts off in French to start the jam in SOAM. There's a bunch of teases in Divided Sky - including Glide and Nellie Kane. Fish false-starts Dinner. MMGAMOIO features 'hey' yells by Mike. During Mike's bass solo in YEM, Fish introduces him.
