Jam chart entries

Runaway Jim

Strong show-opening jam >'s to "Foam," completing one of the summer's classic throwback moments. Tight, full-band play is marked by no shortage of 23's sound, most notably found when, exploring tonality, Trey's out there striking notes and justly changing shapes.

Set Your Soul Free

Major summer highlight that Mike fans would do well to follow. Late, though. When Page lays into his synths. Here, Trey eventually takes control, setting free his soul with such metered control as if aiming past the sun (listen for Floyd this summer) and those such great heights that this Trey-fav song affords. Astounding.

Tweezer

Phish's 2023 "Tweezer" rampage continues with yet another monster version from Alpharetta. Stutter-step delay grooves, kaleidoscopic psych-bliss, and big-boned muscular funk form this delightfully hearty stew before a heroic, guitar-laden hard rock strut brings it all home. ->"Golden Age".

I Always Wanted It This Way

> from "Golden Age." Page really shines on this version; his piano shines midway through the jam. Mike comes bombing in, and he and Trey lead the band into a great, feel-good summer groove. By the 11 minute mark, you'd never know this jam came out of Phish's "techno" song. Things eventually wind their way back > "Tweezer" to complete the sandwich.

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