Jam chart entries
Halley's Comet

Punchy, "Tube"/"Jibboo"-esque funky groove, with Trey melodically soloing o'er top it for a spell, eventually but abruptly modulates key and diminishes into "Circus."

Runaway Jim

Patient and smooth, all four musicians contribute to a cerebral and stately version. Mellow, yet highly musical, play features superb improvisation atop Fish's shuffling beat, with ideas swapped and recycled through subdued play (listen for a lot of "lead" Mike) which considerably brightens as Trey fires a number of notes (inducing a great reaction from the audience), before heavy, almost ominous play, morphs to become highly psychedelic in nature. This, slowly then, > into "Ghosts of the Forest" poignant Phish debut.

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

Setlist notes

Before 555, Page played an audio sample of Trey's vocals from Ghosts of the Forest. Trey teased San-Ho-Zay in Wolfman's Brother. This show featured the Phish debuts of Victim and Ghosts of the Forest. Terrapin was last played on August 11, 2004 (436 shows).
