Jam chart entries
Foam

Mike and Fish are awesome during Page's strong solo. Then Trey and Mike play a near duet with little touches from Page, and Fish rocks the house for the intense build-up.

Run Like an Antelope

Thrashing, dissonant, innovative and unusual "Antelope" jamming, it's all here, including an excellent "The Force Theme from Star Wars" tease in the jam. "Suck the deer shit from the side of this hole!"

Tweezer

A spectular version with "hose" and a "Slave" jam. Just unreal, magnificent Phish. Very jazzy at times as well.

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

Soundcheck

Higher Ground, Frankenstein, The Old Home Place, Funky Bitch

Setlist notes

Antelope contained a tease by Trey of May The Force Be With You (The Force Theme from Star Wars). Antelope's lyrics were changed to "suck the deershit from this side of this hole." Tweezer included a Slave-based jam. I’m Blue I’m Lonesome and Foreplay/Long Time were performed acoustic.
