Jam chart entries
Maze

Page has a stirring solo, then Trey goes ballistic with the others joining the mayhem. Watch out! This dog bites!

Fluffhead

Celebrating the conclusion of an incredible and historic month, this "Fluffhead" bristles with energy and verve. Who Do? We Do! features some great interplay, and all four musicians are in sync throughout. Page's Clod solo is a classic, with Trey cooly strumming along in support. Close inspection will reveal subtle scat singing by Trey during Bundle of Joy, while the blow out Arrival is peppered with strong playing by all four.

Stash

Another killer, improvisational, and multiple movement version from the strongest month of arguably, the peak year for "Stash."

Run Like an Antelope

More incredible August '93 improvisation, with this version containing five distinct, magnificent jam sections, a Brady Bunch theme tease, and Secret Language.

It's Ice

Random Note, All Fall Down, and Oom Pah Pah signals included in this jam.

You Enjoy Myself

"YEM" -> to a HUGE "Oye Como Va" jam.

Oye Como Va

-> in from "YEM." Huge "Oye Como Va" jam occurs just prior to the "YEM" bass and drum section.

You Enjoy Myself

-> back to "YEM" from "Oye Como Va." Nice -> from the vocal jam into "Contact."

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

Setlist notes

Ginseng was performed acoustic. Crimes featured The Dude of Life on vocals. Constant Craving was quoted prior to 2001. Antelope included Brady Bunch theme teases and a Simpsons signal, while It’s Ice featured Random Note, All Fall Down, and Oom Pa Pa signals. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Amazing Grace was performed without microphones. Also, while several versions of YEM have teased Oye Como Va, this version featured an all-out jam of the song. Contact segued out of the YEM vocal jam. During Daniel Saw the Stone, the band introduced and thanked each member of the crew. Chris Kuroda also took a light solo during the introductions. J.J. Cale was the opening act.
