Jam chart entries
Suzy Greenberg

Includes a full band "Low Rider" jam and subsequent tease from Trey.

Fluffhead

Passing through the shoals of Fluff's Travels, The Chase and Who Do? We Do! relatively unscathed, Mike really steps it up in Clod, offering powerful counterpoint to Page and Trey, and rhythmic support of Fish. A groovy Page solo in Clod, replete with a schoolyard taunt, and a solid run through Bundle of Joy gives the band good reason to blow it out in a big way, once they arrive.

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

Setlist notes

Llama, Mike's, and Possum included brief Buried Alive teases from Trey. Suzy contained a Hey Nineteen tease from Mike and a full-band Low Rider jam and subsequent tease from Trey, while the Bowie intro contained numerous Low Rider teases. The Bowie intro also contained two Charlie Chan signals and Oom Pa Pa and Random Note signals. Weekapaug included a Dave's Energy Guide tease from Trey. Fish was introduced before and after Love You as Chris Lee. Memories was a Phish debut.
