A fun Bowie at this show.. the only one with the CREW FOOTBALL THEME
SONG (and/or Band Football Theme Song, if you wish..).  Certainly one
of the more interesting Bowies out there, but not one of my absolute
favorite versions.

The opening of YEM is ok.. there are a couple missed notes here and
there, but it is for the most part solid.  Mike's solo section isn't
that engaging, unfortunately (sinister as usual, but a little too
dreary for my taste).

"Boy" at 5:25, after a very good pre-charge and Notes-section.  Mike
(deliberately?) snarfs the WUDMTF segment by coming in when Trey is
supposed to be saying "Boy, Man, WUDMTF?!" in his accented manner.. it
is amusing, though.. at least this segment is DIFFERENT, for a
change.. ;)  Tramps jam at 7:30... this crowd is really weird.. lots
of "woo-hoo" noises.. from everyone, it would seem.  Usually you get
people yelling other sorts of things, like "yeah!!" and YAAAA-HOOO,
but this crowd.. no.. it is all woooo-hooo.. oh wait, there's an
aaaah-hooo.. (Page's jamming in the tramps segment is great as
always).. I'm reviewing the crowd.. I need help..

When Trey opens up the jam segment, he starts out noodling this and
that.. no theme until around 10 minutes.  At 10:10, he starts chording
very much like "Looks That Kill" by Motley Crue (he doesn't tease the
tune, he just chords similar to the main "riff" in that amusing tune),
and then at 10:20 or so he teases a song I know I've heard him play
before.  I think it is the dude of life tune, Don't Get Me Wrong,
i.e., not something I listen to very often.  He then breaks out
wailing.. typically great close to the jam segment.

Bass and drums around 12:38 or so.  Mike and Fish are fantastic in
here.. really.. interplay and jamming by both of them is
SWEEEEET!!!  This is a GREAT Bass and Drums segment!!!

At 14:19, the closing WUDMTF segment kicks in, and they are vocal
jamming by 14:36.  "Subtlety" it sounds like is the first word.. then
maybe salivate.. The crowd gets into it (clapping).  "Sneakin in the
back door"  "Don't put in the microwave"  "Just stick it in the back
door"  I think this jam is somewhat akin to the "Don't Put No Gerbil
in your Bottom" (8/3/91) vocal jam.  By 16:15 they are on something
completely different.. sounds almost like the SPAM song, frankly, if
only they were singing "SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAMMETY
SPAAAAAAAAAM..."  Oh well.  It is an excellent vocal jam, to the
extent that it visits quite a lot of, uh, places.  "Rumpa Ding Ding
Down Doe" is how they conclude, in quite a psychotic spooky manner
(screaming it angrily).  19:12 total time.  An absolutely incredible
vocal jam, which I'd highly recommend (but only to those who seek
unusually interesting vocal jams.. it isn't for the faint of heart).
C+ rating.
