Jam chart entries
Wilson

In the first of what would become a frequent pairing in the years 1988-89, Trey uses the "blat" here as a sort of vocal segue into the opening drum fill of the classic Zappa cover "Peaches en Regalia".

Fluffhead

Although primal iterations of some of the constituent parts had been performed as early as 1984, this performance marks the first known recording of the full, seven-part modern "Fluffhead." Even from this early date, the joyous, trill-filled Arrival section suggests the band's satisfaction that it had safely and successfully navigated the trap-filled, harrowing musical obstacle course that is "Fluffhead."

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

Setlist notes

The second set listing is incomplete, as the recordings that circulate cut during Bag. The first known performance of I Didn’t Know was dedicated to Brian Long.
