Jam chart entries
Stash

Mike, Trey, and Page layer in an array of textures and tones as they cycle through their respective palettes in this tremendous jam that sees each member trade lead and complementary roles with frequency. Retains at least a loose sense of "Stash" for the duration but explores widely within that tense Latin-esque minor zone heard in previous standout versions (8/11/18, 7/10/19).

Soul Planet

Smoothly runs the gamut from dark grooves to a lovely uplifting space to double-time rocking out to a muscular jamming zone where Mike's drill (!) takes center stage to anthemic bliss to something akin to an alien distress signal that could've only come from Summer 2021 to sludgy industrial noise to even faster rocking out to snappy funkiness to a perfect -> into "The Final Hurrah". A cornerstone jam of Summer 2021, and the third longest of their entire career. Yes, you read that right, their entire career.

The Final Hurrah

How to follow Shoreline's epic "Soul Planet"? By -> into a new Trey favorite, KV's classic "The Final Hurrah." Dancing around a wonderful groove by means of his envelope filter, Trey's improvisation is at turns melodic and jazzy, inciting an impossibly cool jam and fitting end to one of the band's most impressive cosmic journeys.

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

Setlist notes

Forbin's and Mockingbird were performed for the first time since July 30, 2017 (114 shows). Trey teased In Memory of Elizabeth Reed in Stash. Axilla (Part II) was performed for the first time since December 31, 1995 (858 shows). Fish mentioned Lee "Scratch" Perry (who had recently passed away) in the Hood intro. Fee featured Trey on megaphone. This was the rescheduled date from the show that had been postponed due to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. The new date was originally supposed to occur at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys in Stateline, NV but was changed due to wildfires in the area.
