Jam chart entries
It's Ice

"I Feel The Earth Move" tease/jam in another excellent August '93 version.

Split Open and Melt

There's some "Crossroads"-like playing from Trey, a "Long Tall Glasses" (Leo Sayer) tease worked into the jam, then "DEG" teasing and "DEG"-like jamming as it gets way out there into a twisted combination of two unusual jams, then it returns to "SOAM" for a soaring peak.

Maze

Not the jarring dissonance of later versions, but Trey plays like a demon possessed here.

Mike's Song

Rounding out a strong August '93 for "Mike's," the 2nd jam here fills in the unchecked "heavy metal" box. Replete with screams and gnarly riffing, the band displays it penchant for unbridled improvisation to Canadian fans. Acoustic "Ginseng" follows. Go figure.

Weekapaug Groove

Quickly breaks into off-the-wall, "Type II" playing and concludes unfinished with a "La Marseillaise" tease before > to "Wilson."

Run Like an Antelope

Another strong August '93 "Antelope," with dissonance, improvisation, and shredding by Trey.

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

Soundcheck

Jam, Leprechaun, The Wedge, Funky Bitch (with "Beds are Burning" lyrics)

Setlist notes

Trey teased Lazy (Deep Purple) in CDT. Trey made several references to the venue’s springy floor and the fans bouncing on it while they danced. It's Ice contained Theme from James Bond and I Feel the Earth Move teases. Melt contained Long Tall Glasses and Dave's Energy Guide teases. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Ya Mar included alternate lyrics from Mike. Ginseng featured Trey on acoustic guitar, Mike on upright bass, and Fish on Madonna washboard. Fish, usually subject to nicknames when he takes the mic, introduced Trey as Chuck Norris on the drums. Trey retorted by calling Fish “a butt with protruding arms and legs.” Weekapaug was unfinished and featured La Marseillaise teases from Page. Suzy included Blue Monk and Tweezer teases. Antelope contained an O Canada tease from Trey and was dedicated to three new crew members from Vancouver. Adeline was performed without microphones. Baby Gramps was the opening act.
