Jam chart entries
The Final Hurrah

Cool placement and version. > from Mike's, this ultra-chill, low-key jam evokes elements of "Hey Stranger" and, in a way, "Sand" - so much so Mike teases the song. Trey engages familiar themes and new, melodic motifs (all while toying with tone). Fantastic. Fish. Fantastic. Page fans: visit the audience recording. > Paug, which completes a rad, modern "Groove."

A Wave of Hope

Stormy play colors the jam early. A tonal push and pull between Trey, Page, and Mike creates an oxymoronically dissonant, yet pleasant atmosphere. Trey then introduces a bludgeoning hard rock riff and the band immediately latches on and drives the music to a massive crescendo with blazing guitar peaks. A seamless major key shift occurs, but the energy remains as the music builds to another huge, arguably even bigger, hose-y peak before the "Wave of Hope" chords come barging back in for the conclusion.

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

Setlist notes

Quadrophonic Toppling was performed for the first time since May 27, 2022 (172 shows). The Final Hurrah began with a Blaze On tease and later included a Sand tease..
