Jam chart entries

Around 5:30, the playing shifts from the usual fire and brimstone stuff to a quieter, percussive groove. As Page and Trey link up, the jam develops energy and a brighter tone. The band neatly modifies the energy up and down several times, before cleverly -> to "Cities."

Setlist notes

Wolfman's Brother contained Party Time quotes. Trey teased Can't Always Listen in the first Tweezer. Tweezer Reprise contained a Death Don't Hurt Very Long quote.

Wolfman's Brother

Begins with a bit of vocal jamming and then gets into an upbeat clav-groove and continues building in a section bookended by "Party Time" quotes before some more "Wolfman's" scatting and a final ascent for a guitar-driven, high-energy conclusion.

First section features an extended, fiery jam that is akin to "I Know You Rider" (Grateful Dead) before funkily dissolving into "Death Don't Hurt Very Long."

Death Don't Hurt Very Long

Version is sandwiched between heaping slices of "Tweezer."

Second section is melodic, patient, and mystical, and includes a smooth transition to "No Quarter."

> out of a fan-favorite "Tweezer" > "Death Don't Hurt Very Long" -> "Tweezer" sequence. A particularly passionate version befitting the set it's in, with sharp playing from everyone and a truly fiery Trey solo on top. Reminiscent of the cooking-with-gas 2011 "No Quarter"s. > into an equally killer "Also Sprach Zarathustra".

Also Sprach Zarathustra

A dynamite version that demonstrates Phish's mastery of the "Also Sprach Zarathustra" groove, as the band neatly weaves around Fish's four-on-the-floor beat and both Trey and Page wonderfully mesh together.

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