Jam chart entries
Runaway Jim

Jam settles around 6:50 into some glorious melodic space, rebuilds around 10:00 with some nice blues licks, settles again, then morphs into a serious blues jam with a -> to "My Soul."

Run Like an Antelope

Not way out there but has several sections that stretch beyond the typical structure, including a great "Makisupa" jam in the "Rocco" section with Page on theremin and Mike on a mini-drum.

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

Soundcheck

Limb By Limb Jam > Ginseng Sullivan > Jam

Setlist notes

Trey teased Super Bad in 2001. YEM contained a 2001 tease from Trey. Prior to Runaway Jim, Trey teased If I Only Had a Brain. Antelope included a Makisupa jam with Page on the theremin and Mike on a fretless bass.
