The longest "Loving Cup" to date is a clever - if not forced - nod to a Stanley Cup win for the St. Louis Blues minutes before this jam. A quiet bounce led by Page's piano and fast rotary tone from Trey explores quiet space at first. A rhythmic plinko jam follows, with Page on Wurlitzer and Fish's wood blocks providing occasional accent. At 7:15, Trey hints at a shift from minor to major key tonality, although the band winds back down into the patient rhythmic shuffle. Finally, at 8:45 Trey plays a few trills and Page switches to synthesizer, as a deserved - though again, if not forced - peak matches the elation of the city's first NHL championship. Whale call and twinkly Rhodes dominate the forefront of the peak, which winds down to > "Twist."
What begins as a relaxed and conversational groove shifts noticeably after 5 minutes growing eventually into a rhythm section powered freight train as Trey's melodic lines thicken becoming path clearing guitar blasts that lead to peak and return.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
This show featured the Phish debuts of Gloria (Laura Branigan) and About to Run. Trey teased Gloria in Run Like an Antelope and Suzy Greenberg. The second set opened with Gloria (the St. Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup during setbreak and Gloria had become the team's victory song during the season). Twist contained Woman From Tokyo teases from Page. Trey teased Dave's Energy Guide in Light. The Final Hurrah was quoted in First Tube.
