Jam chart entries
You Enjoy Myself

While Trey isn't perfect in the opening composed section, the BMGS, WUDMTF, and tramps sections are good, but the jam is awe-inspiring, with distinct sections. It begins in traditional YEM jam segment fashion, smooth and funky, but with more swing than usual. And when Trey begins soloing using the envelope filter, it builds to a sweet-yet-modest peak before mellifluously mellowing into a groove, an interlude that coasts along wondrously for several minutes before COOKING! You can't not dance in the concluding few mins of the jam, which segues masterfully into a SIIIIICK Mike and Fish, Bass and Drums, section before the vocal jam begins, and the VJ is delightfully short and segues into Moma Dance. MORE YEMS LIKE THIS PLEASE. (And yes Mike repeatedly teases the "Things That Make You Go Hmm" bass line in the first section of the jam, but we don't note him teasing that in the setlists, since he began doing it regularly in YEM in summer 1998.)

The Moma Dance

Page moves to the Wurlitzer roughly 7 minutes in and this signals the band to mellow out. Effects dominate guitar and bass while Fishman contributes wood block hits leading to deeply introspective space. An airy shift to bliss key is accentuated by Mike's use of the Eventide H9000 rack harmonizer. -> "Simple."

Tweezer

It's not every day that Tweezer features a full-blown jam on another song, so this version gets charted simply for its uniqueness, segueing into "L.A. Woman" only about eight measures after the start of the jam segment (don't miss the tease of "Walk This Way" at the end of the composed opening section too).

L.A. Woman

Lyrics begin -> from "Tweezer" and the performance initially retains some of that jam's character with the song proper more fully emerging later. After a "Tweezer" tease, the jamming opens up again and ultimately segues to -> "S.A.N.T.O.S.".

Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S.

-> in from "L.A. Woman". Showing up as the meat of a "Tweezerfest," the longest version of the song to date turns from a raucous "S.A.N.T.O.S." jam into what, if you close your eyes and imagine hard enough, The Doors might have sounded like if they'd given being a jamband a try in the late 1960s. This eventually leads to heavy "L.A. Woman" teases. -> into "What's the Use?".

Tweezer

This version (which completes formation of this set's Tweezer "sandwich") begins the way any other version would though launches quickly into a jam that grooves along for a few minutes, jazziliciously yet with some melodic loops, before dissolving into a mellifluous haze, a serene code from which Birds erupts.

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

Setlist notes

Moma Dance, Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S., Birds of a Feather, Chalk Dust Torture, and Mr. Completely were unfinished. Trey quoted You Enjoy Myself in Moma Dance. The Rover was teased in Simple. Waiting All Night was played over the drumbeat flowing out of Simple. Fee featured Trey on megaphone. L.A. Woman was performed for the first time since December 30, 2003 (493 shows). L.A. Woman, Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S., Chalk Dust Torture, Boogie On Reggae Woman, and Carini contained Tweezer teases. L.A. Woman was teased in Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S. and Tweezer Reprise. Trey teased Heartbreaker in the second Tweezer. Birds of a Feather contained a Dave's Energy Guide tease from Trey and a Waiting All Night tease from Mike. Chalk Dust Torture also included a Birds of a Feather tease from Trey. This was the rescheduled date from the show that had been postponed due to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.
