Jam chart entries
Run Like an Antelope

Gets beyond "Antelope" at several points, including brief major mode action (5:40 - 6:30), rhythmic variation, a brief settle, and good tension building before mounting a serious and dissonant peak.

Jam

-> in from "Hood." An ambient jam starts as "Harry" ends, morphing into an exploratory funk-based one. > to "Forbin."

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

Soundcheck

Buffalo Bill, The Old Home Place, Funky Bitch, Crosseyed and Painless

Setlist notes

The second set featured a remarkable jam after Harry Hood ended and before Forbin’s began, as well as an appearance by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Only the intro of Fly Famous Mockingbird was played. The Merry Pranksters Jam contained an Over the Rainbow tease from Trey, an If I Only Had a Brain tease, and a Spam Song quote. Frankenstein was performed in the middle of the Merry Pranksters Jam with narration continuing at the same time.
