Jam chart entries
Gumbo

Trey goes to the MuTron out of the final verse, and Fish hits on a "Manteca"-type beat that helps lead into a funky and psychedelic jam. Mike, in particular, is superb.

Mercury

Second set opener is anything but elemental, illuminating the song's jam potential. Mike is super, and Trey modulates his tone, a liquid sound darkening to offer a bit by way of transition metal. A pointed, effects-enhanced -> gives rise to a centerpiece "Piper."

Piper

The customary "Piper" jam is melodic, rocking, and somewhat different from the typical, trilling shred-fest of years past. Around 7:00, the jam takes on a percussive aspect that grows increasingly powerful. Following great Fender-Rhodes action from Page, things settle, then blast into a spirited, celebratory conclusion.

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

Setlist notes

Trey teased Call To The Post at the end of Gumbo. Scents did not have the intro. Mike teased Live and Let Die in Tweezer. I Always Wanted It This Way featured Trey on Marimba Lumina.
