Jam chart entries
Chalk Dust Torture

Straightforward, but some fantastic and crazy playing by Trey.

Also Sprach Zarathustra

The first version to go deep. Game changer and features some excellent blues playing from Trey.

Simple

A rhythmic, staccato-like jam briefly emerges from the standard before shifting to a Trey-led, soaring and "HOSE"-filled finale. The jam finally settles and -> to "Swept Away."

Scent of a Mule

Page solo > Trey guitar/vocal solo > Page on piano, Trey on guitar with crazy falsetto singing > klezmer > chanting.

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

Soundcheck

Dog Log > Julius, work on Free, Ginseng Sullivan, Funky Bitch > Play That Funky Music > I Feel Free > Dog Log > Drums > Catapult

Setlist notes

Reba did not have the whistling ending. Trey teased Jump Monk in Simple. Tweezer through Llama and Johnny B. Goode featured Gary Gazaway on trumpet. Tweezer included a Zimbabwe tease from Gazaway.
