Jam chart entries
David Bowie

The intro -> the only performance of "Timber (Jerry)" between 1990 and 1995, and it's a strong version.

Timber (Jerry the Mule)

-> in from "David Bowie." The only performance between 1990 and 1995 is sandwiched inside a solid "Bowie." This fine "Timber" packs the usual Trey shredding, great Fish and strong Page and Mike. > to "Bowie."

David Bowie

In addition to the bonus "Timber (Jerry)" sandwich, this version includes a solid if earthbound jam, with spiraling tension and very cohesive interplay by all four. Some excellent Trey shredding before and during the trill section.

You Enjoy Myself

Auld Lang Syne tease in opening.

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