Jam chart entries
Weekapaug Groove

The jam quickly moves beyond the standard into exploratory '93 territory, with Page, Mike and Trey mixing it up in the quiet section, which reduces down to little more than a quiet pulse, before rebuilding in a thrilling, powerful and electrified manner and returning to "Weekapaug."

Gumbo

Short jam, but a dramatic, extended ending with screaming. Highly entertaining for a short version.

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

Soundcheck

Setlist notes

Before Chalk Dust, Trey chided Fish for being late. Melt contained an 1812 Overture tease from Mike. Hood included a Simpsons signal. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Trey teased Taps in Big Ball Jam. Trey dedicated Highway to Hell to Terry, the equipment truck driver. Gumbo was played for the first time since July 25, 1991 (229 shows) and contained a Free Bird-style ending.
