Jam chart entries
Magilla

Super, compact, and tease-filled (see "show notes"), Page powers through this fun, dynamic version, which modulates nicely before a > into "The Landlady." A really great version, and a really great pairing.

Possum

Extended hihat intro, during which the band repeats "Wait" over and over for 5:30, and then play Simpson's language. Fish asks the crowd, "Can I hear you say yes? Can I...Boner?" At 8:53 they return to Possum, teasing "Wait," and engaging in the "stop and start" style of improv, and trey teases "Buried Alive." Version finishes with a "Turning Japanese" tease.

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

Soundcheck

Memories (x2), Dog Log, Blues Jam, Shaggy Dog, Makisupa Policeman

Setlist notes

Memories was performed without microphones. Magilla contained Dixie and Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered (Rogers and Hart) teases from Trey. Guelah was aborted due to problems with Trey’s guitar. YEM included Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals, while Wait included Charlie Chan and Simpsons signals. After Possum returned, Wait was introduced as The Weight and Page quoted The Weight. Possum eventually ended with a Charlie Chan signals. Whipping Post featured Fish on vocals and fretless guitar. During Lawn Boy, Trey, who was introduced by Page as Lawn Boy, teased The Christmas Song.
