Jam chart entries
Split Open and Melt

Page is the star, jumping around to various keyboards in this "Type I" but interesting and different space funk "SOAM."

Free

Trey out in front instead of Mike. Swirling metallic jam that sounds more '99 or '00 than '98. > to "Limb By Limb."

Limb By Limb

Page in particular shines brightly (but also Trey) in this strong, full-powered version. Segues to a stellar "2001."

Also Sprach Zarathustra

Possibly the best intro ever. This version has it all. Aliens, tractor beams, Trey flamethrowing, "C&P" teasing, Liquid Nitrogen Mike in the second jam. It all combines for 17 minutes of "2001" magic.

You Enjoy Myself

Dynamic, captivating version from start to finish. (No B&D.)

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

Setlist notes

2001 included Crosseyed and Painless and Manteca teases. For this show, the dancers on-stage were dressed as flowers, with one dressed as a turkey.
