Jam chart entries
Split Open and Melt

"MLB"-like jamming by Trey early, followed by an intense, improvisational, high tempo and super-charged jam.

Runaway Jim

Great, growly tone from Trey, the jam building and bettering as Fish propels the intensity. Trey's play becomes truly dynamic, with great rhythmic melodic variation offset by huge, sweeping sustain. And Fish just crushes his cymbals.

Jam

Oteil Burbridge on bass and Stacy Starkweather on stand-up bass. Experimental jam with instrument switching -> in from "Mike's Song," and includes Trey on drums, Fish on keyboard, and some scat vocals from Oteil.

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

Setlist notes

Suzy and Mike's Song contained Money teases. Oteil Burbridge joined on bass during Mike’s Song, also jumping on the trampoline. They were then joined by Stacy Starkweather on stand-up bass for the jam out of Mike’s Song, during which the band members switched instruments and Entrance of the Gladiators was teased. At one point, Trey wound up on drums while Fish played Page’s organ. Cavern contained a Stairway to Heaven tease from Trey.
