Near the 6:00 mark, Trey lays into languid, off-kilter, near-melodic variation, his soloing seemingly aimless before, with Fish, settling on a great passage unsettling previous play, the segment completely discordant, before abruptly, yet adroitly, returning to close and > "McGrupp." · 86 BPM

286GhostIIIn latter-day Phish, extended "Ghost" intros typically portend greatness and this version is no different. Around 23:00, Trey and Mike link up and push the jam into a new territory and it takes off. Fish's driving play ensures the entire band keeps exploring the space. When the jam is seemingly still in a cool place, Trey forces the band back to the "Ghost" melody. He can be forgiven, given the huge version of "Soul Planet" that follows. · 129 BPM

278Soul PlanetIIblissAlong with preceding "Ghost", this "Soul Planet" makes up one of the great 1-2 punches of the year as it sets off at a good pace and introduces dial-tone and other wonky effects in the opening minutes before a shift around 8:00. From there it drifts upwards into major bliss and is driven into gorgeously inspirational territory by Trey's coalescing riff for a terrific mid-jam hosing, after which the band briefly gestures towards a return home, only to quickly launch into more locked-in improvisation. With the vibe now turning towards hard-rock, the jam once again gels around Trey's riffage and surges to a head-banging peak, then > "Billy Breathes". · 86 BPM
