Jam chart entries
Split Open and Melt

The jam begins with a haunting, scary groove over the basic structure. At 9:30, there's a transition segment with standout playing by Page and Mike. Then at 10:45 Trey hits the keyboards in a weird sonic combo. Released on Live Bait Vol. 7.

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