Jam chart entries
Carini

After coursing through typical "Carini" territory, the jam breaks beyond at 7:30 into a pulsing, probing phase with cool effects by Page. The intensity ratchets up, then transitions to lighter, warmer exploration, which mellows and resolves to "BOTT."

Bathtub Gin

Splits from typical "Gin" at 5:45, first moving through a darker rock section, then a lively organ-led romp and finally a spacey washout.

Harry Hood

The jam swiftly shifts to minor mode, but the band takes some time to really probe and explore this darker terrain. The intensity increase, settles, re-builds, and shifts back to familiar "Hood" territory. As the jam begins to peak, Trey deploys a long sustained note, for 115 seconds, much to the delight of MSG fans, before finally releasing into the familiar conclusion.

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

Setlist notes

Beauty of a Broken Heart was played for the first time since December 29, 2016 (108 shows). My Friend My My Friend didn't contain the "Myfe" ending. While My Guitar Gently Weeps was played for the first time since October 23, 2013 (234 shows). Trey teased No Men In No Man's Land in Back on the Train. Trey teased If I Only Had a Brain in Bathtub Gin.
