Jam chart entries
Esther

An especially thoughtful and busy intro sets the foundation for a strong version featuring dynamic playing and impressive modulation, with particularly strong contributions from Page and inventive soloing from Trey.

Weekapaug Groove

First "Weekapaug" to really break out into an extended improvisational jam, with significant exploratory play, an excellent tease/jam of "On Broadway," signals, a fiery peak, and multiple endings.

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

Setlist notes

This show was a benefit for James Bay, with proceeds benefiting organizations fighting the James Bay hydroelectric projects. Reba contained a Dave's Energy Guide tease from Trey. Weekapaug included Charlie Chan and Simpsons signals and On Broadway teases. Hood contained a Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered tease from Trey. Memories and Sweet Adeline were performed without microphones.
