R12/W03: 1994-04-24 Grady Cole Center, Charlotte NC

[G. Augusto]

My Friend - Good composed section with a playful outro. Always a welcomed opener.

Ya Mar - Echoey!! Mike kinda forgets where to come in with the lyrics. Both of these things are kinda the theme throughout the show.

Axilla - Some more lyrical confusion.

Maze - Love these Spring '94 versions. Trey is super noisy throughout his solo and brings it to a BIG peak.

Gin - Like Page's intro! More lyrical trouble! They settle into a nice groove from the jump. Seewhatididthere? This jam paves the way for a really sweet transition into >>>

Jump Monk - Make your signs, kiddies. Nice deconstruction and speed up back into the Gin.

DFB - From the album "Eating. Drinking. Fucking and Fighting."

Silas - 1 of 5 versions from '94. '94 was also the last time the song was played more than twice in a year.

Ice - 1 minor section was shaky, but pretty tight otherwise. Like most '94 versions, this one has a really funky breakdown section. Really nice return to the end, too.

Slave - FUN FACT ALERT. Slave had only closed a first set one other time prior to 04-24-1994. When, you ask? 04-24-1987.  :-o Just blew your mind. On to the song...The fuck was that during the intro? Step into the ECHO-PLEX. Patient jam with a nice build to a proper peak.

Demand - Apparently, someone was yelling for Tela, hence the Tequila teases throughout the set. I *LUV* Demand. I think someone should corner Trey in an elevator and tell him that the band should play it again. >>>

Bowie - Short intro. EKKo. Tequila tease to start the jam. Starts to stray from the main theme ~7 in. Gets dark around the 9 min mark and then returns to the theme ~11. Quiets down at 12:30. I like the super slow build up to the peak and the reoccurring them throughout the final section. Pretty good version.

Mango - Took a stroll.

Julius - Again, *LUV* the '94/'95 versions. As expected, this one is crisp and snappy.

Forbin's - WATCH OUT FOR THE MUCK.

Bird - It ain't as fluid as Superblow, but it was good.... :roll: Really liked Trey's flourishes before the ending section.

Chalk - Nice placement. Trey gets DERT to start his solo as Mike follows. Does it's thing.

Contact - Tequila. I hope they aren't condoning driving and drinking. Really hope not. Page on the Rhodes for the breakdown! Nice!

GXBX - Fiery.

Adeline - Somewhat odd to close with just an a Capella tune, but yeah.

First time hearing this one, and was a tad underwhelmed.
I give it a B.
I still love you, RJ.

Went into this pick cold...

I settled on this show for my pick without listening first. My criteria for selection were these:
a) available on etree
b) 1994
3) not picked before

Thing is, I'd say you're doing pretty well when you can pick any old show from a year, while excluding the widely agreed-upon "big-shows" and still land on a "B".

I do think the encore smells a little of the weaksauce on tape.

I hear that. Personally, I find a lot of April '94 to be kind of spotty, aside from the obvious big shows.
I'd still take this show over most 3.0.
