Jam chart entries
My Friend, My Friend

Odd (but appropriate for "My Friend") sort of outro with chanting/singing by Fish and others.

Stash

An excellent exploratory version. It's too bad that the recently discovered recording for this show is not of the same quality as this fine "Stash."

Maze

Page's solo is very unusual, at times sounding like an organ in a cathedral. Trey unleashes the predictably strong fire and brimstone stuff. Great Fish, too.

David Bowie

Somewhat weird, but definitely exploratory version. "Tweeprise"-like jam for a bit and other forays.

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

Soundcheck

Funky Bitch

Setlist notes

MFMF ended with a Rockin' Back Inside My Heart (Julee Cruise) jam with lyrics changed from "Rockin' Back" to "Runnin' Back." The Bowie intro included Oom Pa Pa, Aw Fuck!, and Simpsons signals and HYHU teases. The encore was performed without microphones. This show was originally scheduled for Houston’s Bayou City Theatre, but was relocated at the last minute to the Tower Theater.
