Jam chart entries
Sigma Oasis

Here the jam almost stalls before it begins, but instead churns in a murky space, finding some direction behind Page’s lovely Rhodes work which acts as prelude to both Mike and Trey asserting themselves. Fish’s rhythmic diversity pushes the improv further and everyone contributes to an intensifying stew that spreads out as a broadening plateau before leading to the eventual return.

Simple

Another latter-day jam that Stefon from SNL would be proud of, because, “It has everything.” From emotive play to funk. From upbeat Fish-led rock with ebullient play from Trey, that eventually gives way to an ambient, dream-like outro.

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

Setlist notes

Trey teased Streets of Cairo in Buried Alive. Colonel Forbin's Ascent and Fly Famous Mockingbird featured elaborate Gamehendge-focused animation, including depictions of Icculus, the Lizards, Tela, and a multi-beast. During Sigma Oasis, perspective shifted to a view from inside a bird egg, which eventually hatched to join two baby birds in a nest with a majestic mountain view beind them. After a short time, a parent arrived with a meal, with great approval from the babies. As the jam reached a peak, the view followed the young birds as they jumped from the nest and soared through the valley. Before playing Walk Away, Trey acknowledged Joe Walsh, who was in attendance, and told him that his music was some of the first songs the band members ever played and "the basis for everything that we do is you." During Tweezer, the perspective began by following a car on an amusement park ride as it entered a giant mouth and was swallowed. Eventually the view reached the "stomach" where pipes and waterfalls emptied into a central pool containing several rubber ducks. Later in the jam, the scene reached a large room encircled with fans, and a breathing set of lungs suspended from the center. Ultimately the view returned to the mouth, lingering on the tongue which was set with furniture, before a wrecking ball outside shattered the teeth as the jam concluded. During Run Like an Antelope, viewers were taken inside a honeycomb hanging on a tree, passing through corridors to a chamber with honey dripping from the ceiling into a honey lake below. Fish performed the second set and encore wearing a hot pink wig.
