    Jam chartA "long" intro, when measured against recent versions: Hear the first indication this time's gonna be different. Trey scratches. We're off. A near-perfect composed section. Great tempo. Measured, highly musical and if not dark, nothing by way of light play ensues. Yet. Listen for "McGrupp." A change. More by way of major play, now, and more "McGrupp." Seamless. Trey and Page swap a lovely melody. Great almost stop-start playing. Almost. No "woos." Great - great - sustain with Page pounding his keys and listen to the release, a bit of trilling with the band as one roiling and rolling to "Bowie's" signature close. One of the best versions since the band returned.

    Jam chartPeeling away just after 6:00, the jam rolls along with swinging feel-good vibes and a bit of countrty twang, then does a few fakeout returns before finally reverting back to "Bowie" at 10:30.

    Jam chartInterested in modern "Bowie's"? Clarkson, MI, is a safe bet. Part of a weather-blown, Jovi-colored and quite strange show, there's much to appreciate here, as Trey (listen for Page on his piano) takes the band through a few wonderful passages of electric, lightning-infused improv.

    Jam chartAlthough the composed section is a bit rough, the jam opens up much more than most recent versions. Moving into major mode around 5:45, the jam then modulates back and forth several times, adding texture. With some nice Page/Trey interplay, Fish and Mike keep the rhythm at a good clip with building intensity. Nice to see this oldie get some love!

    Jam chartA fun, improvisational intro section harkens to the days of old, and Mike really shines in the jam. There's also a major mode shift in the jam, which while familiar at this point, nonetheless differentiates this version to some degree.

    Jam chartSure there's a nice major mode shift, but to only mention that is to sell this solid Bowie short. There are several brief pauses, a Zappa-like technique which throws off the rhythm momentarily and keeps it interesting. Also a nice intro and good tension building. Minor flubs here and there are forgiven.

Following great composed play, hear a radical departure from the song, proper. Here, too, is a jam that is somehow both of (crazy changes and playful nature) and beyond (an expertly placed false-ending) its time. This is music for all ages.
