Jam chart entries
Llama

Solid Set I version of "Llama" with some great Page and an unusual refrain between Page's and Trey's sections.

The Curtain With

The Curtain bristles with crisp energy and is tightly rendered, with Mike and Fish seeming to propel the opening section. The animated jam in With also seems to bound along at a slighly quicker clip than the usual, more languid pace. Again, Fish and Mike drive the tempo, while Trey offers inspired and rapid-fire melodies. A high octane version.

A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing

Straightforward version that features some nice whole tone scale use by Trey (the "off key" sounding scale).

Makisupa Policeman

To commemorate the passing of reggae artist Gregory Isaacs the night before, the band play "Night Nurse" as a sandwich in the middle of this "Makisupa." -> to "Night Nurse."

Night Nurse

-> in from "Makisupa." To honor reggae star Gregory Isaac's recent passing, the band plays his song "Night Nurse" in the middle of "Makisupa." -> to "Makisupa."

Makisupa Policeman

-> in from "Night Nurse" to wrap up a double reggae themed tribute.

The Mango Song

-> in from "Ghost." Straightforward but intensely played version that transitions neatly to "Weekapaug."

Weekapaug Groove

Wrapping up a standout set, "Weekapaug" contains "CYHMK" teases and jamming, "Ghost" and "Night Nurse" vocal quotes, and -> to a reprise of "Llama" to finish this show with a serious exclamation point.

Llama

Ending Set II, a -> to "Llama Reprise" following "Weekapaug" to close one HOT show.

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

Soundcheck

Nothing, Let Me Lie, Friday, Walls of the Cave

Setlist notes

After Midnight was played for the first time since December 31, 1999 (208 shows). In Alumni, Trey added "from Goddard College" after the final "'cause I got a degree" lyric. Makisupa included the lyrics "Woke up this morning with a policeman at my door all I could do was shrug, and go back in my bedroom and smoke another nug." This show featured the Phish debut of Night Nurse; original artist Gregory Isaacs passed away the night before, October 25, 2010. Weekapaug was heavily teased by Trey in Mango before the segue into Weekapaug itself. Weekapaug subsequently contained a Can't You Hear Me Knocking jam, which featured lyrics from Ghost and Night Nurse, and was unfinished.
