A typical night, rotation-wise - 1 song shelved 50+ shows.
Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
Fiery pre-choral jamming oozes into a prolonged and focused jam zone throbbing with psychedelic intensity (an approach not yet taken through this point in the song's history). Trey in particular is exuding a verve and tenacity wholly controlled, yet chaotic sonically.
Swinging "Dick's" version with great trilling, "Stash" teasing, and inspired contributions from all four musicians.
Trey restrains his playing at the outset, giving the jam a more deliberate pace and also providing space for additional band interplay. What results is a gripping, edgier take which makes the final ratchet up all the sweeter.
Trey plays some soaring notes throughout and builds to a pretty good peak, then leads the band into a dissonant and murky swamp from which "BOAF" emerges. A lot going on here despite the length.
Great intro with Trey using a wah pedal to create a cool swelling effect and the jam builds to a coordinated peak with piercing guitar and pounding drums before > to "Jim".
Some great back and forth between the Chairman of the Boards and Fish and Trey on percussion results in an even more energized than typical version.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
Mike teased Bike before Heavy Things and Light Up or Leave Me Alone before Stash. Fish performed the first part of Ass Handed in a swing style. Trey teased Stash during The Wedge. Runaway Jim contained a Seven Below tease. Trey teased Third Stone From the Sun in Seven Below. Suzy featured Trey on Marimba Lumina.
