Let’ start the week off with another dip into the primordial psychedelia of Summer ’95—the band’s most experimental tour ever.
***
“Mike’s Song” 6.20 II, Cuyahoga Falls, OH
This menacing version descended upon Blossom, leaving many wide-eyed fans wondering what had just happened.
***
“David Bowie” 6.15 II, Atlanta, GA
Another one of Summer ’95’s top-shelf “Bowies.”
***
“Tweezer > Gumbo” 6.28 II, Wantagh, NY
Another multi-faceted and experimental monster, featuring “Dave’s Energy Guide” and a jam on The Breeder’s “Cannonball,” from the first night at Jones Beach.
***
“Runaway Jim -> Makisupa” 7.2 II, Sugarbush, VT
A hard-edged and grinding jam eventually melts into “Makisupa” on the first night of Sugarbush’s summer-ending precursor to The Clifford Ball.
***
“Split Open and Melt” 7.1 II, Mansfield, MA
A first set joyride into seething musical realms.
