Jam chart entries
Cities

Sticky clav-led funk rock is shaped by Trey's melodic bluesy riffing to start. Major key tonalities then take over, and the band rides out this bliss-rock feel until the "Cities" chords come back in to conclude the affair.

Ether Edge

Another big-time first set "Ether Edge". Beginning brooding and searching, the jam winds its way to feel-good bliss.

Punch You in the Eye

Serving as the Set 2 opener for the first time since NYE '19, this "PYITE" gets an extra flourish from Trey and Page in its opening. Strong play continues throughout, before > into "Ghost".

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

Setlist notes

Mike teased I Want You Back in Free. Trey added the lyrics "bright in the daytime" to Cities in reference to the show's early start time of 6:30pm, and teased Take Me Out to the Ballgame during Ghost. Trey sang part of San-Ho-Zay in the Sneakin' Sally vocal jam. Prior to Page's solo in Rocky Top, Trey said "sometimes at the end of the game, you gotta bring in your relief pitcher." The baseball themes in this show were a nod to Page having thrown out the first pitch at the Mets/Angels game at Citi Field earlier in the day.
