Jam chart entries
David Bowie

Jam sounds like it's peaking, but at 9:10 this "Bowie" heads out for more dissonant and exploratory jamming.

The Wedge

A modified, percussive intro provides a glimpse of the form the song will soon assume. A strong outro, featuring great work from Trey and Page, highlights an evolutionary marker in the development of this song.

Esther

Signal-laden intro with fun stop / start playing. Trey even seems to sing with a sense of urgency, before great soloing gives way to thoughtful and inspired full-band playing.

Weekapaug Groove

The jam goes "Type II" almost immediately, seamlesessly alternating between standard melodic "Weekapaug" jamming and sparser, dissonant sections found throughout '93 and '94. Very strong improvisation within the context of "Weekapaug."

Stash

By far the most exploratory and different jam through this date. Very innovative and very excellent. Unfinished.

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

Setlist notes

The David Bowie intro contained an Oom Pa Pa signal, while the Esther intro contained Simpsons and Random Note signals and two "Charge!" teases from Page. The beginning of My Friend featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Page also teased "Charge!" in the Big Ball Jam. Stash was unfinished.
