If this isn't the first *live* version of YEM, then it is
at least one of the first.  The opening segment is very
rough (and it ain't the tape quality), and kinda goes
flat.  The very opening is NOT akin to versions of today..
the guitars just start strumming and everyone falls into
place.  What you'd expect from a first "let's try this
thing out version."  Someone else is on guitar alongside
Trey (probably the guitarist at the JONES show, fwiw).
There is bass in here... no keyboards, though.  Anyway,
someone else in addition to Trey is definitely on guitar.
It is very pretty, in an amateurish sense. ;-)  Some
botched notes here and there, and someone's guitar is
horribly out of tune (not Trey's.. he's on the main
chords/theme).  No touches on "The Notes" (Trey doesn't
hit any high sustained Notes).  There's a charge of sorts,
and even some screaming, with "Boy" at 4:54.  WUDMTF is
said very cleanly at first, but Trey at one point does
clearly say FEETS (before returning to Uffizi).

Page comes in during the jam segment (there's no tramps..
Page only pre-jam segment in here).  There's someone on
acoustic guitar in here, still, strumming away, while Trey
melodically jams.  That's right, even in '86 he was a damn
good guitarist (he just wasn't as clean).  He must be
showing off for someone .. ;-)  Siiick jamming.  Until
8:55 or so, when the jam goes into the concluding WUDMTF
segment (with vocal jamming, sortof).  Trey is a total
freak in this final segment.  It is hysterical... It
sounds like they'd been practicing vocal jamming all their
lives.  Total time 10 minutes.  Even though Trey jammed
hard, this version just sucks in light of what YEM became
even after a few more versions.  I'd highly recommend this
version for the unusually different opening, and the
general amusement value, though.. makes for fun listening
(I ain't liquidating this tape, for example, although many
'94 and '95 shows will be getting the axe).  And I'd
recommend this version for the dialogue with the audience,
for Marley... and for some guy yelling "Help Slip" as
Camel Walk starts up. (D+/C- rating)
