2016-07-19TueBill Graham Civic AuditoriumSan Francisco, CAJam chartTrey returns to his roots and takes the leading role in this high energy version. First, he plays along noticeably during Page's solo, adding extra tension. Then during his solo, Trey manages to whip it up several notches more than has been customary these past few years.

2003-07-12SatGorge AmphitheatreGeorge, WAHighly rated 89 · ListenJam chartAn exploratory jam develops, very unusual for "Maze."

Jam chartA really excellent Page section. Trey starts out tame, but by the end his guitar sounds like a jet engine or rocket ship cycling up for lift off.

1997-12-11ThuRochester War MemorialRochester, NYHighly rated 95 · ListenJam chart-> from DWD, the second in a trifecta of excellent Mazes from December 1997. Page delivers meaty play in the first half of the jam. The tension that follows builds primarily from the push and pull between the speed and adrenaline of the rhythm section led by Fish, and Trey's guitar lines which seem at times to lag and then race to keep up before the final photo finish.Before / afterDown with Disease ->DirtGap3SET 1

Page cranks it up into the usual high energy frenzy, leading to a smooth handoff to Trey. From there, we get a reminder of why he earned the nickname "Machine Gun" as an apt prefix to Trey. The play towards the end is locked in, with all four bandmates in sync as the froth begins to boil. Great early version.Before / afterWeigh >FluffheadGap2SET 1
