Jam chart entries
Jesus Just Left Chicago

Page rocks the B-3 big time for the hometown, Chicago crowd.

Wolfman's Brother

Jam breaks away from the customary release around 6:35 into more exploration with great Page B-3 action and Mike bass. A nice low-key groove develops that grows into an extended high power closing and return to "Wolfman's."

Sand

The band crushes the groove before before laying down some spacey effects and segueing into "Light."

Waves

"Waves" jam is intense and good, but following the final verse, the band breaks into a nice, snappy rocking jam that segues -> masterfully into "Undermind."

Undermind

Sleek -> from an extended "Waves." The band launches into an upbeat, pulsing groove led by Mike, which ultimately unravels and dissolves into beatless ambience. What follows is a delicate and serene musical passage highlighted by Trey's emotional playing alongside Page's graceful Theremin work, both of which are phenomenal. -> into "Steam."

Steam

Killer segue out of "Undermind." Fierce and intense version.

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

Setlist notes

This show marked the Phish debut of Babylon Baby. At the start of Alumni Blues, Trey said "that green ball came up here just enough times" in reference to a fan's ball with "Alumni Blues" on it. Undermind featured Page on theremin. The second set deliberately featured many songs relating to the elements Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.
