Jam chart entries
Divided Sky

Despite being consistently well played, "Divided" was largely kept on a short leash throughout 1993. This excellent version is an exception.

It's Ice

"Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" tease by Page. Solid version with excellent Fish and Page teaming at the end of the jam.

Split Open and Melt

Moderately exploratory considering it's August '93. Uncharacteristically lacking in the customary dissonance.

Run Like an Antelope

"Antelope" -> "Sparks" -> "Walk Away" -> "Antelope" -> "Have Mercy" -> "Antelope." In very good company with other major segue-fests, including the "Tweezerfest" (5/7/94) and "Stash" (11/14/95). What distinguishes this epic version is that strong improvisation is combined with melodic beauty that at times is even upbeat and inspirational. But it's also "Antelope" so expect no shortage of tension and dissonance either!

Sparks

-> in from "RLAA." First stop on an epic, "Antelope"-based segue-fest. -> to "Walk Away."

Walk Away

-> from "Sparks." Part of a massive and epic "Antelope"-based segue-fest which -> back to "RLAA."

Run Like an Antelope

-> in from "Walk Away." This fantastic "Antelope" and segue-fest continues and -> to "Have Mercy."

Have Mercy

-> in from "RLAA." This epic segue-fest continues with some melodic relief from the intense sections of "Antelope" that precede it. -> to "RLAA" to finish off this masterpiece.

Run Like an Antelope

-> in from "Have Mercy." Here concludes one of, if not THE finest "Antelope" versions in the history of the Universe.

You Enjoy Myself

Jams based on "Speed Racer", "Smoke on the Water", "Kool Thing (Sonic Youth)," and quoting of "Mystery Achievement" (Pretenders). Vocal jam includes a brief "On Broadway" quote.

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

Soundcheck

Long Jam (about 45 minutes, sounded McGrupp-like), Funky Bitch

Setlist notes

Trey teased Fire (Ohio Players) in Chalk Dust and La Grange. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. It's Ice contained a Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy tease from Page and Melt contained Miss You and Linus and Lucy teases from Mike. 2001 included a Mona Lisa tease from Mike. Antelope included a Dixie tease; the “Rye, Rye Rocco” lyrics were sung over the Have Mercy melody before the band kicked back into the Antelope ending. During Daniel Saw the Stone, Trey updated the crowd on the score of a pre-season football game. YEM contained brief jams based on the theme from Speed Racer, Smoke on the Water, and quoting of Mystery Achievement (Pretenders). On Broadway was briefly quoted during the YEM vocal jam. This show was officially released as Live Phish 07.
