A typical night, rotation-wise - nothing shelved more than 50 shows.
Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
> in from "Taste." A weird, funky jazz-like jam which -> to "Cities."
> in from "Cities," this is a standard, well-played version, except after the song proper ends the band spends the final minute in a calm, quiet space with prominent Mike that sets up perfectly for a -> to the debut of "Ain’t Love Funny".
Very good segue out of "Horn" leads to the Phish debut. After the song ends around 3:00, play continues for another 3 and a half minutes. Starting in a delicate, pretty space, the mood and tempo shifts at 4:15 and leads to Trey finding a theme a minute later that carries the band -> to "LxL."
A straightforward, but funkified jam breaks around 8:00 into a low key, funky jam that at times sounds similar to Santana's "Oye Como Va" before returning to "Twist." The "Oye Como Va" connection would solidify with time.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
Ain’t Love Funny made its Phish debut at this show and was played out of an odd, atypical jam that grew out of Horn. Antelope's lyrics were changed to "Been you to have any spike tongue" and Marco Esquandolas was changed to "The Jersey drunk." Ghost included San-Ho-Zay teases from Trey. Julius contained a brief Stairway to Heaven tease from Trey.
