Jam chart entries
Esther

Very pretty and delicate soloing. Impressive Page and a strong conclusion. Proof positive that "Esther" is not necessarily best reflected in the studio.

Tweezer

"Earth Move" tease. Sandwiches "Manteca"!

Manteca

-> in from "Tweezer." "Manteca" is sandwiched in the "Tweezer" jam.

Tweezer

-> in from "Manteca" to complete this "Tweezer."

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

Soundcheck

James, Phase Dance, Will I Dance > Funky Bitch -> Mustang Sally, Camel Walk
