186TubefunkA wonderful Set One-ending surprise, this fabulous multi-part "Tube" features a groove not unlike "The Very Long Fuse", syrupy effects-laden rocking out, clavinet-driven gnarled funkiness, and warm, lovely major-key jamming, before neatly returning to the "Tube" theme. · 112 BPM

282CariniIIblissA terrific "Type II" venture with multiple parts woven smoothly together. Inspiring major-key play gets its due early on and is contrasted nicely by a mysterious theme which takes hold in the latter part of the jam. Ends with a -> to "Mr. Completely" initiated by Fish. · 96 BPM

2761999IIfunkAfter busting a 524 show gap, the band breaks from "1999" proper and drops into a synth-heavy and funky jam, the four seemingly pushing for maximum freak-out effect. Each musician's contributions deserve attention, their collaborative effort adding much by way of subdivision value. Trey's soloing adds gain and grit, before a marked shift into major mode play produces a spirited release. Cools. Super -> into "Steam". · 123 BPM

284SteamdarkThe jam between verses begins with some guttural Trey soloing and briefly hits upon a riff close to "CYHMK". Mike then drives the band into a segment befitting the supernatural tone of the song with some propulsive bass, while Page and Trey add to the haunting atmosphere with effects and delays. Continuing after the final lyrics, a short outro serves as an effective bridge to the thematically similar "No Quarter". · 152 BPM

291Character ZeroWoah. Sweet show-closer finds the band biding their time, and taking it slow. Straightaway, the jam assumes a smooth, bluesy feel, tinged with some stomping "Martian Monster" texture. Trey augments his tone to shape a cool solo, Fish and Page drop out, and great guitar is met in equal measure by Mike, whose liquid tone gels as the two share a solo. Casually, the version builds to regain its customary intensity, and Trey leads the band through "Zero's" impassioned conclusion. · 140 BPM
<p>This show was night five of Phish's Baker's Dozen run at Madison Square Garden and consisted of a powdered donut theme. Powdered sugar donuts were given to fans arriving at the venue and the show featured the Phish debuts of White Winter Hymnal and Powderfinger. Wilson and My Soul were teased before Cars Trucks Buses. Pebbles and Marbles was played for the first time since August 3, 2014 (106 shows). 1999 was played for the first time since December 31, 1998 (524 shows), its jam exceeded ten minutes, and Fishman teased Mr. Completely in it.</p>
