Trey screws around early, setting a great (if strange) tone, and an excellent, somewhat demented jam develops. Naturally, Mike features heavily. Some of the most off-beat Phish - the sort of improv one could listen to for days - does, in time, sync up, building to an upbeat, if familiar, conclusion.
After toying a bit with beat and meter, play calms at 6:30, and Trey, atop Fish, runs through a nice solo, informed by a (welcome) melody you've heard before. A few minutes later play nearly stills, with Mike and Page emerging to inform much by way of synthy sound. Trey latches on, and in time the jam, pushed by Fish, breaks to become a full-band celebratory affair - music, perhaps at its best, when Page jumps to his concert grand.
Another big "Bag" following NYE 23's masterpiece, though in lieu of tracking a multi-beast, Trey follows his instincts and summer's touring sound. Halfway through the version Trey discovers a great theme and we're off on another, special, voyage (somewhat reminiscent of MSG's sound), the jam then moving through a number of highly charged and disparate improvisational passages.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
Jam, My Soul
Fikus was performed for the first time since November 7, 1998 (801 show gap). Mike teased Fikus in AC/DC Bag.
