NOTES
^= Phish debut, Blind Lemon Jefferson classic blues song.
~= Particularly frightened and inspired screams from Mr. Mike Gordon.
+= You know it’s a good night when the “breather” songs they play soar during the outro jam sections like these two did.
*= Beautiful building chaos. Trey goes guitar fishing at the end.
@= Phish debut, Radiohead cover. Wow. “Yesterday, I was sucking on a lemon.”
#= “Suck a Lemon” samples by Trey.
&= No intro. Jam goes sideways in a good way, then gives way to second “No Men…” jam
%= Extended ambient/dissonant jam before entering proper song. “Fluff went to New York.” At least three heavenly peaks during outro section. Crushed it!
$= Page on keytar. Extended chaotic build section before closing main riff. Yes!

TONIGHT’S MVP WAS: Fishman (and to those of you who disagree – suck a lemon!)
