Jam chart entries
Wolfman's Brother

Mike and Fish set a great chunky and snappy groove in the first part of the jam which Page and Trey ride to great effect, and quite patiently. Then they flip the switch and the jam concludes with the expected power peak.

Mike's Song

For the first time in over 15 years, the band breaks into a bona fide 2nd jam. While the 1st is typical 3.0 stuff, and the transition unusual, all is forgiven as the 2nd jam begins in classic "Mike's" rocking and rhythmic playing before settling. After 10:30 the jam develops a dark and introspective bent, and Trey's time "in the woodshed" before the FTW concerts is noticeable in his soloing.

Weekapaug Groove

Following a nice tempo slow down early on, the jam departs the standard and coalesces on an "Electric Funeral"-like theme (Black Sabbath). "C&P" vocal quotes are added as the jam picks up tempo and returns to familiar "Weekapaug" ground.

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

Setlist notes

During Lawn Boy, Page walked all the way over and said hello to "Mike Side." Light's lyrics were changed to mention Tom Marshall, who was in attendance at the show. Weekapaug included Crosseyed quotes. During the Weekapaug jam, Trey and Mike stood face to face before turning to the front of the stage and stepping in unison with the music.
