A greatest-hits night - nothing shelved more than 50 shows.
Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
Things build slowly at first as Trey and Page politely occupy the same tonal space. Mike and Fish, by contrast, are driven and focused throughout. Trey eventually finds firm footing and digs his heels into more rocking and rif laden territory, and with the help of Page, now on piano, they push the improv to a satisfying peak and return.
Sporting a significantly slowed-down tempo, this version finds itself moving fluidly from typical melodic "Weekapaug" fare towards funkier territory. As the band luxuriates in this space, effects-based play gradually becomes more rock-oriented, culminating in a more traditional crescendo before the tune's conclusion.
Oftentimes, in latter-day Phish, a late Set 2 Twist feels like a crutch. The jamming portion of the set has ended and Trey's just looking for a song to fill the time. That is not the case here! The jam starts mellow and the tempo gradually and patiently picks up. By the end, it's a rollicking good time with a fake-out ending before > "BDTNL".
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
Trey teased Mike's Song in Weekapaug Groove and quoted Corinna in Carini.
