YEM starts out a touch slower than usual.  Waste no time getting to
the Nirvana section, which is a little shaky.  Mike's solo section at
2:33 (reallly early).  Pre-charge section kinda drags given the speed
(this tape is roughly the Right speed, too).  Good shots at The Notes.

"Boy" at 5:19 after not much of a scream.  Fish picks up the beat a
little for the BMGS/WUDMTF section.  If there was ever any doubt that
they say WUDMTF in here, this version should remove it. Tramps jam at
7:33, signals from Mike.  Page begins soloing niiiiicely right from
the get-go.  Great hammond work from him!!  Mike and Trey come back
and accompany Page well, for a good minute or so before the

Jam segment at 9:08.  Trey tools around for awhile in the first
minute, finding a theme to repeat around 10:10.  Trey solos
excellently for a 1991 version, but the jam doesn't conclude all that
triumphantly, imo.

At 11:58 it is bass and drums time.  Mike is melodiously funky, but
doesn't go anywhere special.

At 12:44 the closing WUDMTF segment begins.  Vocal jam by 13:03.
Cabbage in your pocket then you carry it home.  Cabbage in your pocket
then you carry it home. Carry it home. Carry it home.  Carry the ho.
Carry it home.  Huh-ho, huh-ho, huh-ho.  Jersey.  Jersey.  Geritol.
Geritol.  Bwahahahahaha.. eventually they vocal jam the theme that
closes Loony Tune cartoons ("on with the show, this is it" or
something). This tune closes the YEM.. Vocal jam wins.  Total time
16:39.  Great vocal jam, and an easy C+ for this old YEM.
