Jam chart entries
David Bowie

Great staccato playing by Trey early on. Although it never departs "Bowie" wholesale, the jam is a good one with all sorts of variation, good tension, and a nice "Reba" tease in the intro.

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

Setlist notes

This show contained the first known Rhombus Narration and first known version of My Sweet One. Melt contained a Fish drum solo.
