Jam chart entries
Wolfman's Brother

Average-great version slowly builds and builds (and builds and builds) to become something special. The band's patience is perhaps more impressive than Trey's commanding, sun-splashed trilling .... And that's saying something.

Sand

This Set 2 opener is pretty standard "Sand" fare until after the return to the song proper. A dreamy outro jam breaks out after the song should have ostensibly finished. > into a 20 minute "CDT".

Chalk Dust Torture

> from "Sand". The beginning of the jam sounds rather Allmans-esque, with Trey playing some fun, nifty licks. After that portion of the jam concludes, the band gives a fakeout that it might be over, but Fish emerges from the quiet with driving play that sends things upbeat. The jam slowly fades out and eventually > into "Light".

Carini

Relatively modest run time belies this aggressive and focused late second set jam that incorporates a healthy amount of crunchy synth and drippy effects into a heady swirl that turns bright and hints at melody but never quite peaks before > to "Everything's Right".

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

Setlist notes

This performance was part of Bourbon & Beyond and took place on the Barrel Stage. Trey and Mike teased A Love Supreme in Timber (Jerry the Mule). Trey teased Leaving on a Jet Plane in Sand. Chalk Dust Torture was unfinished. Trey teased The Secret of Life (The Dead Milkmen) in Harry Hood.
