Jam Chart for The Squirming Coil (6 entries)
| Date | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990-12-28 | New York, NY | 8:00 | A splendid full-band outro with melodic riffing that hints at the "Manteca" which fully emerges from the following -> "Tweezer". |
| 1993-05-08 | Durham, NH | 10:13 | Towards the end of Page's solo, Trey, and then Mike and Fish jump back in and kick off (by ->) an awesome, rocking and bluesy "Jam." |
| 1994-10-31 | Glens Falls, NY | 10:05 | A spectacular, transcendent end to a spectacular, transcendent show. |
| 1997-07-05 | Como, Italy | 9:60 | Page shines throughout this single-set, free, outdoor gig, so it arrives as a bit of a surprise that it's Trey who steals the show during the course of this patient and serene encore. To be sure, Page's play is confident and assured, but Trey's late (7:00) play is as unusual as it is welcome, his tone wavy and his phrasing pushing, but not quite breaking, the bounds of the song proper. Excellent version. |
| 1998-12-30 | New York, NY | 12:50 | Full-band jam in place of traditional piano outro transforms Coil from predictable (if beautiful) set piece into surprising vehicle for textural improvisation. Unlike 5/8/93, this is not an unmotivated reentry by the rest of the band, but a smooth, natural progression: Rather than step back, the rest of the band just keeps playing. (Thanks @qushner for the lovely description). |
| 2016-09-03 | Commerce City, CO | 10:44 | Mike's thundering basslines throughout the jam convince everyone, Page included, to leave the stage to let him finish off this beautiful and unique show-closing version. |
