Jam chart entries
Sand

Around the 8 minute mark, Page leads the band into a "Type II" segment of glorious, major-key play.

Also Sprach Zarathustra

At the time, the longest 2001 since the MJ version, and best since Darien 2011. Trey leads out in the second jam and the MGM turns into a DMT paradise. Things get evil, spacey, and the band quotes "Fame" while Mike liquefies the crowd. Monster version fitting of the monster 2016 Vegas run.

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

Setlist notes

Carini and Antelope featured lyrics altered to reference Trey's shirt. Trey teased Martian Monster in Free and Undermind in Possum. The second set "musical costume" was David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. All of the songs in the second set were Phish debuts. Five Years, Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, Starman, and Rock 'n' Roll Suicide featured a string sextet comprised of Sylvia D'Avanzo (violin), Alisa Horn (cello), Todd Low (viola), Antoine Silverman (violin), Alissa Smith (viola), and Hiroko Taguchi (violin). All the songs in the second set other than Five Years, Lady Stardust, and Ziggy Stardust featured Jennifer Hartswick, Celisse Henderson and Jo Lampert on backing vocals. Trey played acoustic guitar on Five Years, Soul Love, Starman, and Lady Stardust. Trey did not play guitar (but contributed lead vocals) on It Ain't Easy and Rock 'n' Roll Suicide. Page did not play keyboards (but contributed lead vocals) on Ziggy Stardust. Carmel Dean arranged the all of the vocals and strings in the second set. Twist featured Trey on Marimba Lumina and Mike and Page on percussion. Also Sprach Zarathustra contained Fame quotes from Trey.
