Jam chart entries
David Bowie

Good intro. Raging "Type I" version with an unusual stop mid-jam (possibly the power went out).

Split Open and Melt

Beginning of the jam is very cool with several near stops by the band. Then there's piercing, ear-splitting playing by Trey.

Magilla

Page-written, Trey-driven. Or so it often seems. Here, Trey works in a "Theme from the Flintstones" tease before easing through a series of slashing, jazzy chords, and a bright, melodic line. Fish solos, making for a great outro. "Fire" follows to cap off this cool encore.

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

Setlist notes

This show, performed on Fish’s birthday, had many classic moments, including Happy Birthday teases before Coil, during Bowie and Weekapaug, and before and after Love You. Bowie also contained Charlie Chan and Complete Stop signals. The Bowie intro also included a How High the Moon tease from Mike. The Whole Lotta Love jam segued out of the vacuum solo in Love You. Magilla contained a Flintstones theme tease from Trey. The Janglers were the opening act.
