Man these early Jims used to really kick things off.

Set 1 Highlights
Stash - Short, but dark and dirty.
Reba - Trey plays with a lead that shows up here and there around this era. Strong peak.
Llama - This is a song I prefer earlier versions of, and this one delivers.
YEM - Sick YEM. Page’s organ solo has some start/stopping. The jam is a strong, guitar driven jam, but the vocal jam stole it for me. It starts with a laughing jam which is pretty interesting. At the end they sound like a flock of seagulls (the animals, not the band).

Set 2 Highlights
Tweezer - Some YEMish leads start things off. It seems like a pretty distinct lead - might even be a tease. Trey morphs and plays with it. The way he uses tension and release to twist and build this lead is oh so awesomely Trey-ish. A slower tempo Tweezer, but in no way lacking.
It’s Ice - The composed part sounds really forced, but the jam is sweet. Another YEM sounding jam, mostly because of Page’s organ and Fishman’s beat. One of the better It’s Ices I’ve heard.
The Squirming Coil - An all you’ve heard version, but I really liked Page’s outro.
David Bowie - I was not overly impressed with the improv, but nonetheless a good Bowie. The intro is cool though. Trey teases Coil, It’s Ice, Tweezer, Golgi, YEM, Eliza, and Reba.
