Jam chart entries
AC/DC Bag

> in from "Rift." This Bag is musically tight, yet slightly structurally different than other type I Bags. There is a litle funky piano breakdown at around 4:00 before blues-Trey rears his head in for some of the more traditional buildup-and-release jamming. At about 6:25, Trey sustains a note, and the Bag takes off before a return to the ending coda and > to Julius.

Split Open and Melt

Great, uptempo playing early on becomes increasingly frenetic and dissonant. Returns with a jarring ending.

Tweezer

Fierce, truly inspired version that I grossly underrated in the mid-1990s. I am ashamed of myself.

Possum

Blistering and rocking version includes "Bathtub Gin," "Jean Pierre," and "DEG" teases and a blazing peak.

Runaway Jim

"Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo. Great exploratory version that gets well beyond standard fare.

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