Jam chart entries
Scent of a Mule

Page > Trey vocal/guitar >Page on piano and Trey vocal/guitar together > Percussion -> Mike sings "Catapult" > Page plays "Catapult" on Theremin -> klezmer > Mike chanting > finale.

Catapult

-> in from "SOAMule." "Catapult" is played in the middle of a crazed Mule Duel. -> back to "Mule."

Scent of a Mule

-> in from "Catapult" to complete this crazy "Mule."

Taste

First version with a "Norwegian Wood" (the Beatles) tease, although this one did not signify the end of the jam section. In the future, much debate would ensue over the chordal riff signaling the song's conclusion - "NICU" (which this riff MOST CLEARLY RESEMBLES part of the melody of), "Norwegian Wood," and later, "What's The Use" all entering the discussion.

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

Soundcheck

Jam, Catapult x2, Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On, Crosseyed and Painless, Once in a Lifetime

Setlist notes

Catapult was performed twice during the Mule Duel; first by Mike, and then by Page solo on the theremin. Melt contained In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida teases and Taste included a Norwegian Wood tease. Talk featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Trey teased Rhapsody in Blue in Ya Mar. The soundcheck's second Catapult featured the theremin and a mashup with The Star-Spangled Banner.
