YEM starts out a bit shaky in the opening.  Trey's noodling isn't very
precise, at times.  Nirvana around 2:30, and again, Trey fumbles quite
a bit.  This isn't very pretty.  Mike's solo section, around 3:14, is
evil and chaotic (and there's some feedback in here, taboot), and

longer than usual.. he uses that 21st century metallic weird effect
again.  Charge opens ok, but the SBD is picking up flaws and very
loose playing from Trey (uncommon for this usually VERY TIGHTLY PLAYED
segment).  First note is hit solidly, and the jamming around it is OK,
but again, something sounds awry.  Second Note is hit ok.. a little
fudgy distortion, though.

"Boy" at 5:59.  I think I heard Mike tease "Owner of a Lonely Heart"
for a measure in the BMGS segment.. otherwise, typicaly WUDMTF segment
jams.  Tramps segment starts out wicked slow, with Page sustaining
some chords.. not doing much (and Mike's signals).  Page picks it up a
little bit.. but just a little bit.  I'm smelling THE HAZE throughout
this ultra-laid back groove.. we'll see what happens in the jam
segment.  This is pretty dull, folks.  One of the most inactive tramps
segments I've ever heard.

Jam segment kicks in finally at 10:26, after a pretty good 40 seconds
of picking up the 'groove from Page & Trey (but not by much).  Trey is
noodling quietly and agreeably in the opening of the jam, with
delicious accompaniment from Mike and Page.  Jam starts getting
Santana-esque around 11 minutes, though no outright teases of
anything.  Trey is climbing the 'doc slowly and melodiously, pouring
out soulfull licks, with typically sound accompaniment.  Nothing
unusually good in here at all, though...

Jam picks up around 12:20 with Trey higher on the 'doc, and
passionately soloing, but still... this jam is kind of "What the..
ok.."  Good, but nothing profound, and frankly, unusually plebeian for
1992, even though the closing minute is pretty good (typically great),
with Trey sustaining with a good rage..

B&D at 13:55, and again, more steady and mellow grooving.. Mike has a
theme from the start, though, which he repeats o'er and o'er again.
It is a cool theme, but nothing especially interesting.  It gets a bit
more exciting, and this is definitely one of the longer B&D
segments... but nothing truly outrageous occurs at all.

Closing WUDMTF segment at 15:30, and vocal jam starts within twenty
secs or so.  Typically good vocal jam at first.. nothing of merit
occurs, though, until the SPROCKETS chanting. SCCCCHHPROCKETSSS.. =^]
Haans on sprockets.. evolves into Spraggets.... artichoke.. pretty
good there for a bit.  Chariots of Fire teasing, too, at the end.. or
towards the end. (no kidding).  Aw hell, Chariots of Fire *VOCAL
JAMMING*, my apologies.. this isn't a tease but a jam.. Unusually
interesting vocal jam, but seriously below average YEM otherwise.
C-/C rating.  (total time 20:47, when Horse segues in)
