Jam chart entries
McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters

First "McGrupp" to feature Page on the keyboards following the composed sections, rather than a whole band jam. Page's solo is dark and somewhat ominous, with nice background support from the others. Rather than return to close "McGrupp" formally, the jam continues and -> to "Sparks."

Harry Hood

Exceptionally powerful early version with excellent Trey/Page interplay and a huge peak. A very moving "Hood."

Timber (Jerry the Mule)

Soaring guitar soloing by Trey. Recording quality is quite good for the period.

Jam

Fun little bluesy jam opens Set III and precedes "Suzy." Includes Trey banter referencing the "Mike Gordon Band."

Whipping Post

Trey deploys some cool, spacey, Duane-like tecniques (almost like he is playing with a bow) in the more open-ended second jam section.

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

Setlist notes

Divided Sky was botched badly, leading Trey to launch humorously into BBFCFM. This show contained the first known performance of Dinner and a Movie, the first known Phish performance of Bike, and was the last known show at Hunt’s. Trey introduced ‘A’ Train as Fuck Your Face.
