Jam chart entries
You Enjoy Myself

Colorado '88 version. Excellent segue into "Cities."

Cities

"Dave's Energy Guide" ("DEG") is played towards the end of the song before a brief return to "Cities." "DEG" would be played within "Cities" again on 8/22/88, 9/8/88, 9/13/88, and 3/1/89 in a similar manner.

Dave's Energy Guide

-> in from "Cities" and -> back to "Cities."

Cities

-> in from "DEG." Returns to "Cities" briefly to conclude.

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

Setlist notes

On the recordings of this show in circulation, both Dinner and a Movie and Slave are cut. Cities included Dave's Energy Guide teases before actually segueing into the song. ‘A’ Train included a London Bridge Is Falling Down tease from Trey. Funky Bitch was dedicated to The Blue Sevilles, a band playing across the street. Satin Doll was preceded by a Sailor's Hornpipe tease from Trey and a Jeopardy! theme tease from Page. The band brought light board operator Tim Rogers on stage for his birthday and presented him with a “Baked in Telluride” T-shirt. Sanity featured Fish on trombone. BBFCFM included a Flintstones theme tease.
