Jam chart entries
David Bowie

Similar to 11/5/88 with excellent and angry tension building. Good dissonance in the trill as well.

Whipping Post

The second jam includes some really cool spacey effects from Page and Trey, almost more Floyd than ABB-like, followed by a brief, intense return to "Whipping Post." This space jam is way, way out there for '88 Phish.

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

Setlist notes

Mr. P.C. featured Carl Gerhard on flugelhorn; this was his first known appearance with Phish. Mr. P.C. included a Spider-Man theme tease. Some recordings circulate with Timber in the second set and an encore including Peaches, Funky Bitch, and Donna Lee; this is actually filler from the October 29, 1988 show.
