Jam chart entries

Taste

The Chairman of the Boards leads the way, but Big Red is no slouch either.

Soundcheck

Blues Jam > Dog Log, The Old Home Place, Esther tune up, Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On), My Mind's Got a Mind of Its Own, Soundcheck Tear

Setlist notes

Trey teased Super Bad in 2001. Saw It Again contained an extended jam. Antelope contained a Buried Alive tease from Trey. The Dog Log soundcheck was mashed up with the preceding blues jam, the Born Under Punches was a partial rendition played to the Ya Mar rhythm, and Soundcheck Tear lamented life off tour (without soundchecks).The opening act was J. Willis Pratt & We're Bionic.
