Jam chart entries
Magilla

Page opts for his organ to employ cool, spacey effects. A cosmic, studio sort of sound, which greatly enhances the jam. Trey modifies his tone, accordingly. Page reverts to a more traditional sound and solos ensue before the band makes a nice > into "David Bowie."

David Bowie

Almost immediately breaks from the standard. Strong and dissonant improvisation, with an unexpected section of quiet space before the storm rebuilds. Short but powerful.

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

Setlist notes

Memories and Adeline were performed without microphones. During the pause in Guelah, Trey welcomed everyone to the Hemp Festival (“Free the weed!” Mike exclaimed). Magilla contained a Wedding March tease from Trey. After Runaway Jim, Trey introduced “a very famous person” in the audience, John Basili. “Stephen King was at a gig recently,” he noted, “but this is much more exciting.” Coil contained a Linus and Lucy tease.
