Jam chart entries
Runaway Jim

Jam gets well beyond "Jim" into some interesting exploration. It's August '93, what else would you expect?

My Friend, My Friend

A wacky but improvisational outro jam occurs, including a "YEM"-like vocal jam.

Stash

Insane, tension-filled, extremely improvisational "Stash." This is a vicious animal. Totally awesome!

Mike's Song

The 1st jam includes a unique repeated riff from Trey and Mike. 2nd jams in 1993 were often a bit odd, even bizarre. That description fits here, as the 2nd jam is very improvisational, but also unconventional, including "Games Without Frontiers" vocal quotes from Mike.

Weekapaug Groove

Much of the jam is decidedly "Type II" and unsettled in nature, but the return to typical "Weekapaug" at the end is quality as well.

Jesus Just Left Chicago

Nimble and delicate piano action from Page. Then Trey cranks the energy up several notches with blistering blues work.

Run Like an Antelope

A jam on the Simpons signal and lots of gnarly, improvisational stuff including rhythm and tempo changes in a semi-evil jam.

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

Setlist notes

Trey teased the Woody Woodpecker theme at the end of Weigh. Ginseng Sullivan made its Phish debut in the first set, featuring Trey on acoustic guitar and Fish on washboard. The beginning of My Friend also featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones. My Sweet One contained Aw Fuck! and Oom Pa Pa signals as well as three Simpsons signals. Antelope subsequently contained several more Simpsons signals, a Jeopardy! theme tease from Mike, and a tease of A Love Supreme. Fish quoted the vocals of Games Without Frontiers during Mike’s Song. Trey teased Yield Not To Temptation in Weekapaug. This Mike’s Groove is included as filler on Live Phish 07.
