One of my favorite '92 shows (if not the one that takes the cake altogether). Both sets feature some really stellar moments, great song choice/variety, and the second set Fishman break is on one of the Syd Barrett tunes I prefer. the Cameron McKinney sit-in is cute, too.

Trey absolutely soars on Divided Sky, keeping the jam alive for longer than I expected. SOaM ascends quickly, but there's some real sweet riff-based jamming in the earlier portions. Esther is very beautiful, especially Trey's volume-swell solo. Not sure I hear the notable musical passage to which the jam charts refer here, but it's a strong performance nonetheless. Possum shreds as always--perhaps the most consistently bangin' tune from this year (check out 5/17/92 if you haven't). The It's Ice / Mind Left Body jam highlights some awesome Mike slapping, including great allusions to the top melody of It's Ice. The Antelope that closes Set 1 is one of the best from this era, in my opinion. Plenty of dissonant craziness between Trey and Mike that resolves with intensity and determination. Mike's harmonic movement starting around 5:00 is actually so fucking awesome, and sets up Trey excellently to take a melodic break in his solo. This is repeated again at 5:35. It's moments like this where I most appreciate Mike.

Glide opener for Set 2 starts things off on the right foot. This set also sees the first really exploratory Bathtub Gin--a landmark that set strong precedent for one of my absolute favorite jam vehicles from the band. Trey alternates awesomely between melodic patterns, dissonant wailing, and fiery shredding all over Llama. The final highlight and crown jewel of the show is Harry Hood. The extended intro and Linus and Lucy themes make this version stand out plenty. The transition from Peanuts to glorious Hood close is rhythmic and magnificent, done with some impressive tact.
