Thanks, J()e, for this tape!  The opening segment a
little on the slow side, otherwise average.  On the
Ebeneezer-screaming, a  irl in the audience does a
little scream at the beginning, which amuses.
Ooooo.. the opening of this jam segment has Trey
resting on a sea of a groove laid down by Mike (who
teases Sweet Emotion on the bass to some extent) and
Fish.. then it sounds like Mike teases Mind Left Body
(he does, excuse me, he does tease it.. and yes, Mike
knows how it goes).  Meanwhile Trey is noodling in a
eerie and snaky way.. very sweeet opening to the jam
segment, but then.. AAAAH!!!  CUT!!!   Oh well, this
was one hell of a groove, then a fade/cut.  I guess I
probably only lost 5 seconds here, though, so I
shouldn't overreact.  This jam is definitely one of
the better opening Tweezer jam segments I've ever
heard -- great stuff!  Very, very funky and groovy.
Not at all dissonant.  Trey goes into jam-tangents
here and there.  Page's accompaniment is typically
tweezeresque (as are Fish's drums).  Mike, on the
other hand, seems to be quite enthused, and really
smokes at times.

The jam unfortunately goes a little awry after a few
minutes, though, with Trey just kinda wailing away
without a care as to what the others are doing (well,
to be fair, Phish goes into one of its controlled
dissonant grooves.. ;).  After starting out really
well and cool, with great melodic jamming from Trey,
the jam goes waaaay downhill... just isn't that tight
or harmonically balanced.  Crazy.  It goes from what
I thought would become one of my favorite tweezer
jams to one of the less appealing ones that I've
heard. ;(  Still, a great opening few minutes to this
jam segment.  Short, taboot.  4.0 rating. (C-)  Total
time, compensating for the cut, approximately 11
minutes.  Segues into TMWSIY, but rather abruptly
(Trey just starts playing it, even though it didn't
blend with what the others were doing..).
