Jam chart entries
Maze

> in from "Fee." Ghostly and diabolical. All kinds of wailing screams from Trey's guitar push this one over the top.

Bathtub Gin

Very exploratory right off the bat with a good, rocking and percussive jam. Returns to "Gin" in the end, but in a seriously rocking manner with a -> to "Lizards."

Fluffhead

There's something special about the band from Vermont playing in the desert, and this "Fluffhead" is no exception. An extremely tight, well-executed version, this one is also a straight out rocker, without any sense of the late '90s more mellow approach to this song. Trey fires off a cool "Bring It On Home" tease and provides edgy contrast to Page in Clod, while Arrival is compact, but thanks to Fish et. al., IT will kick your ass.

Possum

Intense, powerful version with a "Bring It On Home" tease (Willie Dixon song popularized by Led Zeppelin) in the intro. The jam incldes a "Give Me Back My Wig" tease (Hound Dog Taylor) from 5:23 - 5:46.

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

Soundcheck

Jam, Wolfman's Brother, If I Could, Funky Bitch
