Jam chart entries
Chalk Dust Torture

Drops into a spartan jam right out of the gate, then makes a move to a major-key jam via some memorably neat playing from Trey. A relaxed low-key groove emerges, led by Fish's insistent rhythms and Mike's melodic basslines, then Trey steps back in front and drives the jam to a triumphant peak before maneuvering into "Ghost". Very fine version.

Split Open and Melt

Departs standard "SOAM" rather quickly and dips into some nebulous improvisation which straddles the line between light and dark before growing more tense and returning home.

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

Setlist notes

Trey teased Streets of Cairo in Martian Monster. Chalk Dust Torture was unfinished.
