Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.

Jam chart entries
David Bowie

Good intro. Although essentially "Type I," the jam is very good and there is ferocious and dizzying tension building as it progresses. Good trill section also.

Weekapaug Groove

Rousing and uplifting straightforward version. The "Mike's Song" refrain near the end has been dropped, and the modern closing chords appear.

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

Setlist notes

Fluffhead and Suzy contained Sailor's Hornpipe teases from Trey. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. This setlist is likely incomplete.
