A typical night, rotation-wise - nothing shelved more than 50 shows.
Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
Makes a significant departure from "Stash" proper into largely nonformulaic bliss, save for a minute-long rock section from 11:00 - 12:00. Trey's ascending swells at 12:30 are a highlight, after which a few delayed riffs and a push for -> "NICU" from Fish ultimately leads back home at 14:30.
Trey and Mike lead the band into a muscular groove out of the usual "Everything's Right" jam, which gets darker and nastier as Page goes to his synths and Fish switches up the beat. Trey finds a new key and the jam gets weird and alien-sounding in that Summer 2021 way we all know and love, with Page on piano keeping things somewhat grounded, then Fish snaps into a brand new groove and they build to a neat peak. The jam then collapses into an atonal free-jazz zone, Fish really enjoying himself, before the band goes back to "Everything's Right" proper.
Mainly distinguished by Trey fiddling with his effects before Mike moves things into the blissful upbeat hose zone, but once they get there the band really guns the engines and builds up the jam quite nicely. Trey hits on a cool repeating note pattern, and the jam peaks well, before returning to "Crosseyed" proper, with Fish throwing in some of his own effects for fun. Dies away, then > into a nifty reprise of "What's The Use?", played the song before.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
La Grange, My Soul
A Wave of Hope made its Phish debut. Trey teased Simple in Everything’s Right and Crosseyed and Painless in Down With Disease. Down With Disease was unfinished. Page and Trey teased Long Tall Glasses in Possum. This was the rescheduled date from the show that had been postponed due to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.
