Jam chart entries
It's Ice

Full band jam featuring Page on the organ instead of piano. Almost sounds like a "YEM" jam for a measure or two.

Maze

Debut is played at a slower tempo than later versions, and Page's solo features the piano rather than the B-3.

Stash

"Stash" starts to get interesting in 1992. First version of the year is a good one, with lots of tension and the beginnings of pushing the jam beyond convention.

Possum

Twangy country-like jam becomes more typically high powered. Several signals taboot (see Setlist).

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

Setlist notes

Many debuts were played, including Maze, My Friend, Mound, NICU, and Sleeping Monkey. This show also marked the first performance of the “new” revised Rift (the last “old” Rift was May 19, 1990, or 202 shows previous) and presented the formal introduction of the Secret Language Instructions. With the band playing Bowie in the background, Trey introduced the Charlie Chan, Simpsons, Me and My Arrow (Asshole in the Front Row), It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing, Random Note, All Fall Down, and Turn Turn Turn signals. Mike also teased How High the Moon during the Instructions. Trey referred to NICU as “In an Intensive Care Unit,” though that title was later changed, and referred to My Friend as “Knife.” Bowie contained a Milestones and Jeopardy! teases from Page and a Will the Circle Be Unbroken? signal,  two Get Back signals, Star Trek, Aw Fuck!, Up Up and Away, Tritone Down, and Me and My Arrow signals, two Complete Stop signals, and It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing and Simpsons signals. Possum included Simpsons, Turn Turn Turn, Aw Fuck!, and All Fall Down signals.
