170TubeA subtler and more introspective take on improvisation than the consistently exciting groove fest "Tube" tends to bring, the band here sonically 'dims the lights' briefly before building melodically to the more familiar peak and return. · 123 BPM

173StashLike "Melt," Stash has seemingly assumed a new form (see 8/11/18, 7/10/19, etc.). Like "Melt," many of these jams astonish. (See just about any, recently.) Here, right around 6:50, we see Trey at the apex of his cerebral prowess, fingers and feet in lockstep. Pushed by Page, the friends move through wonderful drums and bass to create a jam that's as pleasant as it is demented, as melodic as it is measured. · 118 BPM

175Pillow JetsIIdarkNYE's "Bag" casts a long shadow; fans of that momentous moment can turn from that script to find, here, more by way of impassioned (improvisational) play. Heavy as a multi-beast's footprints stomped into the Mojave's sand, the band toys with an array of effects to produce something like melody before Trey alights upon a line, a path leading the listener through a grassy path where one sees the forest for its cosmic trove of trees. · 129 BPM

177SteamdarkAt times, calm and tropical, and then moody and fierce, this quality version stretches the boundaries of the normal "Steam" jam without totally leaving the station. · 162 BPM

<p>During Tube, the dome seemed to fill with soap bubbles which reflected the venue and drifted in front of a nebula of changing colors. During Pillow Jets, the view became that of a grassy path through a grove of trees under a starlit sky. Travelling down the path as the jam progressed, the grass and trees became tinged with glowing, multi-colored light, which periodically intensified and erupted from the ground through the branches, creating a firework effect. Mike and Trey teased Manteca during Steam. During Mountains in the Mist, the dome made it appear as if the venue was nestled in an evergreen-covered mountain range, with mist shrouding the sky from view. During Taste, the entire dome appeared to become covered in turning rings of Jim Pollock illustrations from the covers of the Live Phish CD releases, rendered in gold and black. During Sigma Oasis, the dome became a cloudscape, with trees, birds and sea creatures made out of bubbling clouds. During Fuego, a spotlight was used to create a silhouette of the band, with the image then recreated across the dome with effects added to make the band appear as flaming shadow people. During Twist, the dome became filled with multicolored letters tumbling before a backdrop of pulsing red circles. I Am Hydrogen was performed in a show without Mike's Song and Weekapaug Groove for the first time since October 31, 1987 (2,024 shows). A Life Beyond The Dream featured Trey on acoustic guitar. During Tweezer Reprise, the dome again displayed images of cars, this time tumbling into the distance. This show was connected to the other three with each night's setlist tied into a state of matter. This performance's matter type was gas.</p>
