Jam chart entries
Stash

The jam leaves the standard behind, comes back, leaves again on a different tangent, and finally returns to wrap up.

Magilla

A strong, surprise version (the first in 114 shows), Trey glides through a "Stash" tease, and, true to the era, incorporates somewhat experimental playing, featuring a great shuffling, percussive sound. Page's first "Magilla" on acoustic piano is definitely worth hearing, it sounds fantastic.

Mike's Song

Strong Mike in a somewhat dissonant 1st jam. The 2nd jam is the first of several '93s which have jamming similar to the future "Simple." This one also has some good stop/start action, before more dissonant Trey and a percussive lead up to the closing.

Weekapaug Groove

Great little "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" jam/tease, followed by a breakdown with exceptionally strong playing by Fish and a vocal jam-style ending.

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

Soundcheck

The Wedge, Have Mercy, Dog Log

Setlist notes

Possum included Simpsons and Oom Pa Pa signals. Trey dedicated Glide to Terry (who drove the truck that got the band's equipment to every show). Magilla (last played May 8, 1992, or 114 shows) included a Stash tease. There was an Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da jam in the Antelope intro and a tease by Trey later in Antelope. Icculus was played for the first time since May 2, 1992 (119 shows). Mike teased Cheap Sunglasses in Mike's Song. Weekapaug contained a Don't Get Me Wrong jam and Don't Get Me Wrong and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da teases from Trey. Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones.The soundcheck's The Wedge was a masuhup with what would later become Wolfman's Brother.
