Dan Purcell's first show (hi Dan).  One of several 420
shows (87, 91, 93, 94), fwiw.

Some guy in the audience is yelling "Lizards" and
"Whipping Post" like his life depended on it..

Trey's jamming around the Notes is great.. "Boy" at 5:28.
WUDMTF chorus is standard.. typical mock accent from
Trey..  Jam segment opens 7:36 with everyone grooving, not
just Page, akin to recent ('88-89) versions, but Page is
more prominent, as usual.  Mike isn't, though.  Trey is
just plucking away in the background, with Mike and Fish.
Some nice feedback in here.. ;)  Page grooves well on the
Hammond in here.. I mean, REALLY WELL.  Just great stuff
from him, with excellent funky accompaniment from the
others as well.  At one point I thought Page would tease
Buried Alive (9:50ish), but he didn't.  Trey doesn't come
out front until 10:09.. A niiiice, long, Page-dominating
section..

Trey's jamming in here is great as usual, with the typical
closing YEM trilling at about 13 minutes, and then Bass
and Drums at 13:18.  I should remind everyone
that calling this Bass & Drums isn't the same as the
versions of the last six years.. this isn't just Mike and
Fish.. Page and Trey accompany them, but are just in the
background.. whereas today, I think Page and Trey USUALLY
drop out COMPLETELY and leave it to Mike and Fish to
wail.  Vocal jamming/ final WUDMTF chorus begins at 13:55
or something.  This final vocal jamming isn't anything
special.. primarily ECHO effects.. At 15:08, Trey starts
playing Split.  (C rating)
