Jam chart entries
Halley's Comet

A "Nancy" double shot, with "Halley's" -> "I Didn't Know." A Mike and Fish led funky, percussive jam initially springs out. From there, at least 3 distinct movements develop in a masterful, wide-ranging opus which includes "A Love Supreme" tease from Page.

The Moma Dance

A somewhat abbreviated intro leads to a funky, creative jam segment that's longer than you'd guess from the song's timing. "Sunshine of Your Love"-like jamming by Trey towards the end (9:30).

Gumbo

Funky super groove with a lot of "Manteca" teases. Very melodic Trey before an awesome "Manteca" ending. Page rage throughout. One of the strongest versions ever.

Limb By Limb

Fantastic version that has it all: delicate, intricate playing, a quiet tempered section that builds to a glorious peak, and then an orchestrated downshift concluding with serene, ambient space.

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

Setlist notes

This show marked the Phish debut of Rhinoceros. The Halley’s jam included A Love Supreme teases from Page.  The show also featured the return of Ride Captain Ride, which had not been played since December 30, 1992 (494 shows) and Bike, which had not been played since November 7, 1996 (129 shows). Gumbo included Manteca teases.
