Jam chart entries
Sigma Oasis

Less by way of bells and whistles than vim and vigor, play is fierce. Trey seemingly signals for a shift after the five-minute mark; Page, however, blows through the stop sign, igniting an exciting audible - one which underscores what makes "basic" Phish c. 2024 (hint: Trey, here) so very peak.

Bathtub Gin

The band really ratchets up the speed and intensity just before 13 minutes to deliver a fast paced and eager stunner of a Gin to close the first set.

The Moma Dance

This "Moma" is the first song Billy Strings sits in on over two nights of shows. His presence is felt and appreciated mere seconds into the song. As the jam begins, Trey and Billy engage in some fantastic interplay which sets the tone that this won't be a typical sit-in. This is the longest "Moma" to date and gets way out there.

Possum

Billy Strings takes lead vocals and swaps geetar solos on this short but sweet version.

Everything's Right

Play showcases the twin-guitar stylings of Trey Anastasio and Billy Strings. A powerful, fairly straightforward version with, unsurprisingly, heavy Allman Brothers over- and undertones.

Carini

A scrappy, high-energy take featuring Billy Strings on second guitar that oscillates between the psychedelic hard rock-isms that Carini typically serves up, as well as the familiar Allman's-esque melodic volleying that seems to naturally flow out of Trey and Billy like an unencumbered river.

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

Setlist notes

Peaches en Regalia was played for the first time since February 24, 2022 (115 shows). Nellie Kane was performed for the first time since August 6, 2021 (146 shows). Trey teased the theme from The Mary Tyler Moore Show in Sigma Oasis. Tube contained a tease from Mike of his Strawberry Letter 23 bassline and a Very Long Fuse tease from Page. Trey teased A Love Supreme in Ruby Waves. The Moma Dance through the end of the show featured Billy Strings on guitar. The lyrics of Moma Dance were sung twice, with the change "I still gaze and glimpse you" the second time. Billy teased Frankenstein in Moma Dance. Billy sang lead vocals on Possum. Nellie Kane and Beauty of My Dreams featured Trey and Billy on acoustic guitar, with Billy on lead vocals for the former and trading verses with Trey on the latter.
