Jam chart entries
Foam

Strong early version has the three essential components of the "Foam" jam: 1) Page-oriented solo; 2) Trey-oriented solo; and 3) band build-up to a peak before the final verse and ending riff from Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer."

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

Setlist notes

I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. The Bowie intro contained Wilson and Timber (Jerry) teases. Alumni contained additional lyrics. Trey teased Curtis Loew before AC/DC Bag. Antelope included a Sailor's Hornpipe tease from Trey. This show was a benefit for NORML.
