Jam chart entries
AC/DC Bag

The old intro is played although it was largely abandoned after 1988. Odd little outro jam tacked on to the back as well.

Reba

Syncopated grooving that departs the "norm" and features a fun, intense breakdown, with truly remarkable full-band exploration, a la "David Bowie." The playing almost gets pushed back to "Reba" territory before collapsing totally into improvisational "Bomb-Facotry-esque" wonkiness.

Split Open and Melt

Excellent version that weaves back and forth, back and forth between super tight but typical "SOAM" playing and exploratory jaunts.

The Landlady

An unusual "The Landlady"/"Tweezer" combination, with both songs weaving back and forth.

Tweezer

Get Back signals, a Simpsons signal, and several measures of "Landlady."

The Landlady

> in from "Tweezer." A few measures of "The Landlady" are played at the end of "Tweezer."

Tweezer

> in from a brief reprise of "The Landlady" to complete this song combination.

Possum

Like 8/8/93, another improvisational version. "Possum" isn't exactly a "Type II" vehicle, but there are brief moments in this one that come close. Includes a "Tweeprise" tease, a solid low-key start and a rocking conclusion to the jam.

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

Setlist notes

Reba contained a DEG tease from Trey and Chalk Dust contained Fire (Ohio Players) and Can't You Hear Me Knocking teases. Guelah contained Key Change and Random Note signals. Melt contained Nellie Kane teases from Mike and was briefly teased prior to The Horse, which featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Page teased Lean on Me in Squirming Coil. Tweezer included three Get Back signals, Key Change and I Let A Song Go Out of My Heart signals, and a Simpsons signal after the second Landlady. The second Landlady contained a Get Back signal prior to returning to Tweezer. Maze contained Mystery Achievement teases from Mike and Trey. Possum included a Tweezer Reprise tease.
