Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.

Jam chart entries
Rock and Roll

Jam mellows after a bit and sustains a decent pulse with nice Page work. "Low Rider" teases.

Back on the Train

Well played, extended outro jam with good segue (->) into "Possum."

Gotta Jibboo

Sloppy and takes time to peak, but when the band finally comes together and eventually peaks it's a gorgeous moment of clarity that cuts through everything and makes things happy for a minute, before getting goregously goopy and grimy like only '04 can.

Twist

Exploratory and multi-faceted jam emerges around 8:00 after some nice variations on the "Twist" theme. Intense, the jam includes power rocking, distortion and effects, and builds to a furious peak before returning to "Twist."

Wilson

Trey's voice is pretty beat, but he quickly gets into a twisted, chaotic, octave-hopping, 2.0-style, shoegazey mode, as Mike stretches the groove out over snappy Fishman fills.

The Little Drummer Boy

In the chaos that usually precedes "BLAT BOOM", Trey leads the band into a "Little Drummer Boy" vamp, at first festive, and soon going down a more evil path in a minor key, desert rock mood over droning church organs while a quiet, but harsh loop sounds throughout.

Wilson

Trey "BLAT BOOMs" his way out of Little Drummer Boy to conclude a unique version of Wilson.

Harry Hood

This "Hood" shifts to a rocking "Type II" groove at 8:45, briefly returns to "Hood," then departs into a dark, rhythmic minor mode section before finally coming home to close around 17:25.

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

Setlist notes

Fenton Williams sat in for Chris Kuroda on lights. Camel Walk contained Wilson and Theme from Barney Miller teases. Little Drummer Boy appeared for the first time since December 2, 1999 (116 shows). Love You had Fish “playing” his new sonic dress, a garment woven from cassette tape that produced noise when touched with special gloves akin to tape heads.
