I am very much in favor of this show - pains me that I was not there.  However...  I can't stand it that Trey seldom nails the pre-solo lead up in Theme from the Bottom, which for me, really is a needed foreplay for his solo. And here he fumbles it again.  I frankly don't get it.  He nails a ton of other set pieces, why does he so often f this up?

in the entire live history of this song, he screws it up more often than he nails it.
though in 3.0 he tends to flail with it even worse than before.
i've often wondered why. is it that difficult to play?

Compared to other composed stuff that he pulls off regularly, no.

Its a very oddly-structured riff; its got a lot of index-and-pinkie stretching in conjunction with hitting open strings, and the thing shifts positions like 4 times. 

So, its not so much technically challenging the way YEM's intro or Reba or Fluffhead are in that theres so many arpeggios to remember and play fluidly, but rather PHYSICALLY challenging, mechanically-speaking, because of the way it's written.  Its not an "intuitive" riff at all.  Its physically super awkward to play lol.

I agree.

on the other hand, trey should practice it so that he can get it right.

I've revisited this Tweezer a couple times the last two days. While there are a few minutes of aimlessness in the middle there, they recover from that and the last three minutes are especially divine.

The Wolfman's is fire, too.
