Jam chart entries
David Bowie

-> in from "Cities." Very solid and interesting "Bowie" that shifts back and forth between minor and major modes several times. Upbeat jam contrasts nicely with the more "classic" 12/28/12 version.

Light

A chaotic atonal interlude from the standard jam gives way to a pulsating, reverberating major mode section that settles into a melodic space before -> to "Mango."

46 Days

The jam settles down gradually, then Trey and Fish have a little back-and-forth jam, followed by a Page/Mike back-and-forth jam which -> cleanly to "Steam."

Steam

Perfect segue out of "46 Days." Powerful, popular version, yet that is also controversial, given Trey's heavy reliance on the Digitech Whammy pitch shifter to call entire schools and species of whales.

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

Setlist notes

After Birds of a Feather, Page pointed out Ian in the crowd from "Ian's Farm" fame and waxed nostalgic about playing there while also noting that SPAC was one of the band's favorite venues. This show featured the debut of Yarmouth Road and the Phish debut of Energy. My Friend My Friend did not contain the "Myfe" ending. Trey teased Light in Mango Song, Divided Sky in Drowned, and Jean Pierre in Character Zero.
