Jam chart entries
McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters

The entire band breaks into a jam where Page would solo in later versions. Although the recording ends before the jamming section concludes, the nearly 5 minutes captured on tape give a good flavor for the open-ended nature of these early jams in "McGrupp."

Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.

Setlist notes

Some fans have labeled the show-opening jam a “Star Trek Jam.”
