Jam chart entries
Stash

Jam shifts to major mode at about 8:08, continuing until about 9:30, for some upbeat jamming.

Ya Mar

Lots of Trey banter during the jam, including his warning about the notorious Red Rocks giant iguana.

Runaway Jim

"Runaway Jim" -> "Gypsy Queen" (Santana) -> "Runaway Jim." The jam also has some good rhythmic exploration beyond the segue to "Gypsy Queen."

Gypsy Queen

-> in from "Runaway Jim." Lots of good Santana-like rocking in this section which -> back to "Runaway Jim" to conclude.

Runaway Jim

-> in from "Gypsy Queen" to wrap up this solid "Runaway Jim."

Possum

Extended section of dissonant jamming (6:25 - 9:50) eventually returns to more familiar "Possum" habitat.

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

Setlist notes

Stash contained DEG teases from Trey. During Ya Mar, Trey thanked the audience, saluted a Colorado swimmer who won two gold medals at the Olympics, and announced that a special guest would come out later in the set. The last three songs of the first set were all Phish debuts with Ninety-Nine Years featuring Tim O’Brien on mandolin and lead vocals and Hold To A Dream and Doin' My Tume on bouzouki and lead vocals. This show also marked the Phish debut of Gypsy Queen. During the Mockingbird narration, Trey told of a giant iguana that would take the crowd to Mars to view the life there.
