PHISH.NET JAM CHART · CURATOR NOTE

According to an unconfirmed story, Phish played this emotional encore to honor a fan tragically killed in a car accident on the way to the show.

There are powerful moments prior to the jam and a somber sentiment at the beginning, which miraculously transforms to an uplifting, joyful celebration by the end. A truly gracious and heartfelt version whether or not the story is true.
