Jam chart entries
Split Open and Melt

Sloppy flubs in the composed and closing sections aside, the jam here is dark, chaotic, and loaded with tension and eerie effects. They haven't played a comparable, non-extended, tension-meister "SOAM" like this since '94/'95.

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

Soundcheck

My Soul, Sugar Shack, Sugar Shack Jam, Space Jam, My Soul Jam, Sailin' Shoes

Setlist notes

Wolfman's contained a vocal jam. After the soundcheck's My Soul, Trey and Fish teased Demand. Sailin' Shoes was performed by Fish and Mike only.
