Jam chart entries
Reba

Still tinkering, this "Reba" is notable for a very cool and unique jam, which finds Mike out front early, creating a bouncy, infectious beat. Trey modifies both his tone and the intensity of his playing, before alighting upon a jazzy sort of theme. He then runs rapid-fire through a series of notes, before whipping the band into a controlled frenzy which ends dramatically.

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

Soundcheck

Memories, Dog Log, Blues Jam, Shaggy Dog, Makisupa Policeman -> Blues Jam, Take the ‘A’ Train

Setlist notes

Trey felt so generous during the trampoline giveaway before Sweet Adeline that he decided to give Fish away as well, pushing him into the crowd. He also teased The Christmas Song before and during Buried Alive. Harpua included Dog Log teases from Page and Mike. Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones.
