Jam chart entries
Esther

Debut version. Original lyrics alter the song's now familiar structure.

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

Setlist notes

This show included the first known performances of The Practical Song and the old version of Esther (with different lyrics). 'A' Train contained London Bridge Is Falling Down teases. The listing for the first set is probably incomplete.
