Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
Mike dominates this version which features a swinging vibe, a "Chariots of Fire" tease, in addition to strong playing (and solos) from Trey and Page.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
Suzy Greenberg, Magilla, Possum, and Golgi all contained Chariots of Fire teases. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. David Bowie featured multiple Chariots of Fire teases, both in the intro, which featured the first known Phish performance of Mo' Better Blues, and in the main song itself. Bowie also contained five Charlie Chan signals, an Oom Pa Pa signal, two Random Laugh signals (one from Trey and one from Mike), a How High The Moon signal, and a Tritone Down signal. Bowie later contained a Dave's Energy Guide tease and another brief attempt at How High The Moon from Trey. Possum also contained a Destiny Unbound tease.
