Jam chart entries
Down with Disease

Stays in the song's upbeat outro until cooling into a minor section at 7:00 that bridges the gap to the heart of the jam around 8:50 when it's driven into soulful bliss that runs through 14:00, after which a coda prods in a new direction and brings things to a close.

Fuego

Veritable monster of a version that works as an emblematic example of Phish's comfort in MSG. Focused patience marks the affair, as "soundcheck" vibes abound. Eventually the grooves turn spacier and funkier around the 20:00 mark, before building towards a major key rock out. The music then downshifts into heavenly "hose" territory, with Trey looping infectious '99-esque repeated licks and subtly reintegrating the "Fuego" melody for a stunning finale.

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

Setlist notes

Bug was dedicated to Jovi (who had joined Trey on stage to sing the song on June 20, 2022), who was in attendance. Trey teased Stash in The Wedge. Also Sprach Zarathustra was unfinished and included a Psycho Killer tease from Trey. Cracklin' Rosie was performed for the first time since July 6, 2012 (397 shows).
