Jam chart entries
Jam

A really good Trey-led jam opens Set II. Rocking and blues-infused, this offers a glimpse at early improvisation. > to "Bag."

David Bowie

Earliest known live version. Jam is played at a slowed tempo initially, but picks up speed and intensity as it develops.

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

Soundcheck

Bertha (performed by The Joneses), Blues Jam (with members of The Joneses)

Setlist notes

This show was a co-bill with The Joneses. Trey and Mike quoted Fuck Your Face and Minkin during the Melt the Guns intro. Halley’s Comet featured Richard Wright on vocals. Have Mercy featured Jah Roy on vocals. This show contained the first known version of David Bowie.
