Jam chart entries
Jam

-> in from "Wilson." A very good, badass, dissonant and mildly funky jam emerges that grows spacey and > to "DwD."

Fee

Great -> into "Poor Heart."

Reba

With the Clifford Ball looming, the band throws down a version suitable for any festival. Fast and frenetic, the band channels some inner-Fall 1995 and plays powerfully and without reservation, racing through the composed section to jam with added verve and tenacity. A signature moment from summer tour's surprise show.

Runaway Jim

Jam gets nicely beyond "Jim," returns, then breaks into some percussive jamming with Trey on the mini kit. Unfinished with > to "YEM."

Tweezer

A must-hear ending to this version which is "type II" in part.

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

Soundcheck

Funky Bitch, Tush

Setlist notes

Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone. Reba did not have the whistling ending. Julius was dedicated to Brad Sands’s brother Matty.
