Jam chart entries
Bathtub Gin

> in from "Peaches en Regalia." Nothing like some good "Gin" on a nice summer night. This "Type I" version is 3.0-style HOSE at its best. Great nimble and directed playing by Trey later in the jam.

Prince Caspian

> in from "BDTNL." Band wastes no time getting beyond typical the "Caspian" jam , instead settling on a beautifully delicate, but substantive groove that unexpectedly segues -> to "SOAMule."

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

Soundcheck

The Old Home Place, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Skin It Back, Peaches en Regalia, Beauty of My Dreams, Torn and Frayed

Setlist notes

This show was broadcast live on SiriusXM Radio's Jam_ON station. Blister in the Sun was played for the first time since July 9, 1998 (392 shows). Both appearances of Blister in the Sun consisted of the first verse only. Down with Disease was unfinished. BDTNL, Mike's Song and Weekapaug all contained Blister in the Sun teases from Trey. Sabotage was dedicated to MCA, who had passed away earlier in the year.
