Jam chart entries
Ether Edge

Unidirectional and cohesive, the jam here is focused and the band is locked in from the start with little deviation to deliver a grin inducing and arm raising ride that accelerates to a very satisfying peak before crashing > into Llama.

Kill Devil Falls

Thematic jamming that bounces along at an even pace with little deviation and only slight modulation but stays focused without wasting time searching and delivers a steady stream of memorable moments that accumulate rather than peak.

Ruby Waves

One last 20-minute jam before the run ends. The jam starts out energetic, as most “RW” jams do, and keeps its pace for a while until it turns into time to try and see if the aliens can be summoned. Fish seems not ready to stop rocking, so he finds a way to get the rest of the band back on that path. There’s a peak because it’s “Ruby Waves” and it almost always gets a peak.

My Friend, My Friend

Rocking outro gives way to a fairly propulsive, beguiling groove textured with thick bass and then winds down over the course of several minutes in a decidedly off-kilter manner.

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

Soundcheck

Farmhouse, Frankenstein (this soundcheck is possibly incomplete)

Setlist notes

Farmhouse featured Trey on acoustic guitar, and the scene was of the outside of the Barn at night, with aurorae overhead. Before The Horse, Trey announced it was his favorite part of the night, and that Mike would now "invert," while Mike turned his coat inside out to a Fish drumroll. Among the visuals for Julius was a large, dragon-like creature rendered in neon lines, which swam behind the band at the song's peak. Frankenstein featured Page on keytar. My Friend, My Friend did not feature the "myfe" ending. The scene at the end of Wading in the Velvet Sea was a giant wall of concert photos.
