Jam chart entries
Possum

Here's an odd one: the entire song is played in a different (lower) key. Go figure.

Simple

Funky version with Trey on the "mini-kit." -> to "The Horse."

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

Soundcheck

Jam, Funky Bitch, Talk, The Old Home Place

Setlist notes

Ginseng was played for the first time since June 23, 1995 (103 shows). Reba did not have the whistling ending.
