Jam chart entries
Split Open and Melt

While closely following Trey's winding solo, Fish mirrors this patterned play, the musicians providing the others "room" to altogether drop anything by way of melody, setting Trey up for a patient and tense syncopated exploration which smartly culminates in "Melt's" coda.

Rock and Roll

Very good, funky version with some nice Page/Trey interplay. Extended spacey ending.

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

Setlist notes

Albuquerque was played for the first time since September 14, 2000 (115 shows). Fish teased Buffalo Bill prior to Rock and Roll.
