PHISH.NET JAM CHART · CURATOR NOTE

The jam from this fiery, intense version was attached to the end of the song "Demand" on the studio album Hoist.

In a 1994 interview, Trey noted this performance marked the beginning of a watershed, 14-month period, during which the band really clicked and coalesced on "SOAM's" complex jam rhythm. Not surprisingly, the golden age of "SOAM" overlaps with this 1993 - 1994 period of technical mastery considerably.
