Jam chart entries
Ya Mar

Pretty straightforward, but a nice, stretched-out, rhythmic jam with a cool closing.

Roggae

More relaxed and cerebral than the version from Prague, this style for the jam section would become typical for most versions through late '00.

Cities

Outstanding, R&B-esque, and quite melodic jam emerges from "Cities" proper that gets more and more rocking before cycling down. This is what the "HOSE" is all about.

Free

Sweet, funky, almost bluesy groove. A great version.

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

Setlist notes

If I Could was played for the first time since August 5, 1996 (150 shows).
