Jam chart entries
David Bowie

Very intense jam. While mostly "Type I," solid Fish percussion pushes it beyond here and there.

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

Soundcheck

Jazzy Jam/Samson Variation, Beauty of My Dreams x2, Billy Breathes, When the Circus Comes, Crosseyed and Painless > Funky Bitch

Setlist notes
