---|---|---|---|---|
2004-08-14 | WotC | Coventry, VT | 15:19 | Jam breaks from the standard at 11:00 into a mellow groove that builds energy and > to "Runaway Jim." |
2004-08-14 | Runaway Jim | Coventry, VT | 12:23 | Very improvisational, "Type II" version with a -> to a very improvisational, "Type II" "Gotta Jibboo." |
2004-08-14 | Jibboo | Coventry, VT | 15:23 | The yang to 4/16/04's yin. Tight playing for '04. Dark and grimy up front, but once it pushes through to the heavens this "Gotta Jibboo" is breathtaking. |
2004-08-14 | Antelope | Coventry, VT | 13:10 | Jam segment rages practically non-stop, and Tom Marshall assists with the "Rocco" lyrics. |
2004-08-14 | Bag | Coventry, VT | 20:07 | Nimbly textured and surgically precise like the big '97 "Bags?" No. Highly improvisational, well played AND a great listen? Absolutely. This version is MUST-HEAR, like 11/21/97, 12/30/97 and 9/14/99. The Coventry "Bag" is full of "2.0-style jamming," is played very well overall, and it's highly listenable. -> to "46 Days." |
2004-08-14 | Bowie | Coventry, VT | 12:57 | Trey talks about writing "David Bowie" for 4 1/2 minutes before the song - well worth hearing. The jam itself is pretty decent with a nice little shift to major mode and an intense ending. |
2004-08-14 | Twist | Coventry, VT | 16:36 | A decent jam develops which has an underlying Mike and Fish fueled groove that continues almost throughout. Trey at times uses a lot of distortion, and his seeming lack of direction gives the jam a disjointed feel. Great -> to "The Wedge." |
2004-08-14 | Stash | Coventry, VT | 20:42 | While the composed section is far from spotless, the jam is very good and multi-dimensional, including a nice move to major mode followed by some great exploration. Unfinished with a > to "Free." |
2004-08-14 | Free | Coventry, VT | 9:54 | Some sweet Mike bass, then gets very quiet with just Mike and Trey playing, then Fish and Page jump back in. |
2004-08-14 | Drowned | Coventry, VT | 26:06 | Very raw in parts (at least Trey), but a serious piece of improvisation nonetheless. At the 7 minute mark, the band gets very quiet and almost stops. Trey plays solo for a stretch, and briefly addresses the crowd. Around 12:30, the other band mates rejoin in a very upbeat and rocking jam that accelerates into near fury by 21:30. |
2004-08-15 | CDT | Coventry, VT | 13:46 | Extremely improvisational version which leaves "CDT" behind near the end and -> to "Possum." |
2004-08-15 | DwD | Coventry, VT | 19:02 | Very unusual version. The first jam segment is strange, spacey, and Trey sounds off-key at times. Then there's a second jam following the closing riff (without vocal refrain) which has some interesting moments and is pretty soulful. |
2004-08-15 | SOAMelt | Coventry, VT | 31:04 | Skip the composed section (ugly) and go straight to the jam (released on Live Bait Vol. 5), which is excellent, extended and improvisational. The final 6 spacey minutes are a combination of sad, eerie and haunting, with a hint of optimism near the end. Unfinished with a -> to "Ghost." One of many great jams from the morass of Coventry. |
2004-08-15 | Ghost | Coventry, VT | 17:30 | Through a crack in the fabric of space-time a horde of flaming orange locusts cascaded down the fetid slope of manure, became a cyclone of debris, limbs, and offal in the muddy bowl then coalesced into a sheet of light which rapidly withdrew upslope back into the void of infinity. [-> in from a strong "SOAM." The jam breaks into an angry, rocking groove that grows dissonant, tension-filled, and includes Trey's eerie yelling and digi-guitar effects.] |
2004-08-15 | Piper | Coventry, VT | 9:25 | Blistering, fierce, machine-gun Trey, akin at times to Hendrix at his best! |
