Jam chart entries
Ghost

-> from "Halley's", this version has a quicker beginning than most. This is a laid-back, feel-good first set jam. Introspective and then euphoric. Peak upon peak. (And stick around for the "Albuquerque" bustout afterwards!)

Sand

A fantastic sort of throwback to "Sands" of the late 1.0 era in that it doesn't range far from the format, but in doing so is able to drill down into the entrancing groove even deeper with loops and synths aplenty over top of a rock-solid rhythm section. Around 9:30, the reins are loosened slightly, allowing the jam to transition to major and Page to really show out for a spell, but the ominous minor tone soon returns to see things through to the conclusion.

Tweezer

> from "Waves". In a rare spot as the third song in the second set, this (relatively) compact version packs a big punch. The band locks into the jam quickly and seamlessly. Around 11:20, Trey weaves back to the Tweezer riff, giving off this version might be incredibly compact. Instead, he pivots on a dime to a life-affirming major key jam. > into a fierce "Crosseyed".

Crosseyed and Painless

No messing around here, as Fish and Trey quickly push this jam into overdrive en route to a mean peak, then -> "Light".

Harry Hood

Sometimes it's better to simply sit back and listen to the music play. Beautiful ->'s into, and out from "Talk," as if rehearsed (which was probably the case). A defining moment from any point in the band's history, either way.

Talk

Beautifully emerges -> from "Hood's" jam and -> back to "Hood". Quite a way to make its first appearance in 14 years.

Harry Hood

-> from "Talk" to complete this hearty, set-closing version.

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

Setlist notes

The band walked out to audio from Friday the 13th (this was also the postshow music). Trey teased Izabella in Halley's Comet. Albuquerque was performed for the first time since June 11, 2011 (458 shows). Trey and Mike teased A Love Supreme in Light. Talk was last played on November 01, 2009 (536 shows) and was incomplete.
