Jam chart entries
David Bowie

> in from "I Didn't Know." A good one with some "DEG"-like jamming to add to the dissonance factor. Machine Gun Trey in serious heavy action towards the end.

My Friend, My Friend

Following the final refrain, the band launches into an evil sounding "Little Drummer Boy" jam, singing "my friend, my friend he's got a knife" to the "Drummer Boy" melody.

Split Open and Melt

Although the jam is basically "Type I," it includes teasing/jamming on the Bee Gees' "Staying Alive" throughout, some "Little Drummer Boy" teases near the end, and is very well played with good Trey shredding.

You Enjoy Myself

Trey shreds throughout the jam of this quintessential 1993 version. And you aren't the only person to hear "Terri" and "Tickle" in this wild vocal jam.

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

Setlist notes

Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone. Maze contained Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Oye Como Va teases from Trey. Page teased the theme to Star Trek and Trey sang a bit of the theme to Jaws in the Mockingbird narration. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. Bowie included an Achy Breaky Heart quote from Trey and All Fall Down and Simpsons signals in the intro and DEG jamming. Page teased Jimmy Olsen's Blues prior to start of the second set. My Friend started with Trey on acoustic guitar and later featured a Little Drummer Boy jam. Trey quoted My Friend in Poor Heart. SOAM included a referenced to the Mockingbird narration and Stayin’ Alive and Little Drummer Boy teases. Little Drummer Boy was subsequently teased after SOAM. Mike teased Dazed and Confused in Big Ball Jam.
