Jam chart entries
David Bowie

A fun, improvisational intro section harkens to the days of old, and Mike really shines in the jam. There's also a major mode shift in the jam, which while familiar at this point, nonetheless differentiates this version to some degree.

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