Jam chart entries

David Bowie

First "Bowie" opener since 12/30/93. "Manteca"-like jamming early, then it breaks from the standard several times, only to return. Includes "Bowie" -> "Catapult" -> "Bowie" in the jam.

Catapult

-> in from "DB." Brief version near the end of a big "Bowie." -> back to "DB."

David Bowie

-> in from "Catapult" to complete this solid version.

Round Room

Excellent and extended low-key outro jam.

Down with Disease

"DwD" -> "Seven Below" -> "DwD." "DwD" gets a little beyond straightforward.

Seven Below

-> in from "DwD." A short but very good "Seven Below" -> back to "DwD."

Down with Disease

-> in from "Seven Below" to close and complete the sandwich.

Piper

Short intro leads to up-tempo, rhythm driven, melodic jam. This is a favorite version for many fans, for reasons that will be obvious when you check this version out. Fishman's snappy work propels this funky jam.

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

Setlist notes

Golden Lady was played for the first time since October 20, 1994 (461 shows). Trey chided Fish at the start of the second set, claiming that he didn’t know how to play Disease. Trey teased DEG in Seven Below. The jam out of Piper included an In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida tease from Page and a Rift tease before moving briefly through the ending segment of Disease (in the key of Piper, no less) before segueing into Makisupa.
