| Date | Song | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1992-12-02 | Columbus, OH | 19:13 | The intro to "Wedge" is in the jam segment!! | |
| 1992-12-02 | Columbus, OH | 9:38 | Interesting start to the jam leads to a tense, somewhat dissonant remainder with great playing by Trey. | |
| 1992-12-02 | Columbus, OH | 13:47 | Weird jam, that was a "Big Ball Jam" at one point. Goes from beautilful/melodic to thrashing "Tweezer" jam off and on. | |
| 1993-04-20 | Columbus, OH | 14:49 | After successfully navigating the treacherous early sections, there's a palpable sense of energy as the lyrical section of Clod ends, leading to a super Page solo complimented by great play from Trey. An excellent Bundle of Joy gives that momentary sense of an impending train wreck, before the band explodes into a powerful, notably strong Arrival, featuring pounding Fish and great licks from Trey. | |
| 1993-04-21 | Columbus, OH | 12:07 | Unusual, intense and improvisational jam that almost sounds like a "SOAM" jam at times. | |
| 1993-04-21 | Columbus, OH | 11:36 | 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. | |
| 1993-04-21 | Columbus, OH | 9:12 | Nice interplay between Trey and Page in the breakdown section, then the jam seems to be headed for home with a fiery peak, but instead veers off-course into more improvisational jamming, gradually diminishing unfinished, and (arguably) > to "Gumbo." | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 10:51 | Although this version mostly stays inbounds, the boys play the tension card to full-effect, and the ending is unusual. | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 1:22 | Crazy medley, where "Simple" is played to the melody of the Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider" at one point, and segues back and forth to "Catapult" and "Icculus" in a must-hear "Mike's Groove." | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 1:38 | -> in from "Simple." Lyrics to "Simple" are sung to the melody of the Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider." -> to "Catapult." | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 2:10 | -> in from "Midnight Rider" Jam, part of an incredible version of "Simple." -> to "Simple." | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 3:54 | -> in from "Catapult," as this "Simple" medley of songs continues. -> to "Icculus." | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 3:42 | -> in from "Simple." A high energy, highly amusing version of "Icculus," ripe with NBA references, appears midway through an incredible "Simple" medley. | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 1:52 | This concluding section of "Simple" follows a classic performance of "Icculus" and -> to "Mike's Song." | |
| 1994-06-22 | Columbus, OH | 10:22 | Trey brings the volume way down, then he and the band bring the intensity up to a near boil. Fish is great. | |
| 1998-07-31 | Columbus, OH | 11:25 | Pretty straightforward, but a nice, stretched-out, rhythmic jam with a cool closing. | |
| 1998-07-31 | Columbus, OH | 8:34 | More relaxed and cerebral than the version from Prague, this style for the jam section would become typical for most versions through late '00. | |
| 1998-07-31 | Columbus, OH | 15:17 | Outstanding, R&B-esque, and quite melodic jam emerges from "Cities" proper that gets more and more rocking before cycling down. This is what the "HOSE" is all about. | |
| 1998-07-31 | Columbus, OH | 9:53 | Sweet, funky, almost bluesy groove. A great version. | |
| 1999-07-23 | Columbus, OH | 11:22 | Fairly ordinary, but much more spirited and up-tempo than 7/4/99, until the ending gets a little spacey. | |
| 1999-07-23 | Columbus, OH | 16:48 | Relentless molten neon electro rockslide that comes to rest in a glistening mountain lake. [Fish and Mike lead a fantastic, uptempo groove, and as Trey pours it on, you can literally hear the audience get whipped into a frenzy, then soothed with a great outro.] | |
| 1999-07-23 | Columbus, OH | 25:23 | An upbeat and snappy groove develops beyond "BOAF", which then bounces between spacey and pumped-up forays. The band was apparently playing along to a wild thunder and lightning storm occurring at the time. | |
| 2000-07-14 | Columbus, OH | 8:07 | More similar to pre-'97 versions with driving percussion and intense guitar work. A raging storm. | |
| 2000-07-14 | Columbus, OH | 9:36 | While shorter, this one has a stronger peak than most with lots of classic Trey/Page interplay - definitely a top-shelf "Gotta Jibboo." | |
| 2000-07-14 | Columbus, OH | 10:10 | Interesting version in which Trey strums chords during the build-up rather than striking individual notes (as is customary). | |
| 2000-07-14 | Columbus, OH | 16:38 | Awesome yin yang version. The 1st jam is a rocking, intense incendiary groove, while the 2nd is its serene, blissful and introspective foil. This version was the last "Mike's" to feature a significant 2nd jam until 2015. | |
| 2000-07-15 | Columbus, OH | 26:45 | Another big and rocking groove-based jam that neatly -> into "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." | |
| 2000-07-15 | Columbus, OH | 19:59 | This jam is why some people hate jambands. A noodle factory. (but I still dig it) The jam just segues into the VJ (no WUDMTF lyrics). (No B&D.) | |
| 2025-07-09 | Columbus, OH | 10:51 | Another new version suggests the song's recent resurgence may be no fluke at all. While not breaking new ground, Trey leans, and quite well, into familiar 'shapes' and sounds, before finding, and exploring, a nifty musical phrase which he drives throughout this fun, playful excursion. As the others catch on and play off Trey, direct full-band jamming builds to bring the song to its old-school close, replete with Page's twinkling keys bleeding into beautiful 'silence.' | |
| 2025-07-09 | Columbus, OH | 8:32 | Ease meets confidence as the four friends create a meld of the delicate and the thunderous ornamented with cascades and flourishes from both Trey and Mike that mark this version for closer listening. | |
| 2025-07-09 | Columbus, OH | 9:45 | Cool play coasts atop a mellow groove which finds Trey strumming his way into strong, protracted and, at times, melodic soloing. Offset by measured, calibrated play, Page, near the 6:30 mark, pushes for 'brighter' sounds, his synth not so much leading the way as offering direction. Trey plays with this idea before dropping into a lower register, runs through the tune's signature line, and guides the song to a close. | |
| 2025-07-09 | Columbus, OH | 19:02 | The jam finds itself immediately brimming with ideas simply by using the inertia of its driving rhythmic push. A downshift around the 10 minute mark finds the band in new territories, centered around a hypnotic, repeating bass line. With an unrelenting rhythmic center, an inspired, densely layered slab of music emerges and makes itself at home, before the clarion call of "Percussion Rinse!" signals an end. Excellent. | |
| 2025-07-09 | Columbus, OH | 25:30 | This is familiar, feel-good Phish. Mike works to nudge the jam in a different direction, but Trey surges forward, pushing the band not to a false, but a near peak. Pleasantly, the jam assumes a new identity past the 12:00 mark, and from here Trey moves through a number of ideas (which becomes fairly interesting full-band play). Enough by way of 'muted' introspection allows for an impassioned "Bowie"-esque "peak," before Trey abruptly returns to close the song | |
| 2025-07-09 | Columbus, OH | 22:30 | Remarkable for its unrelenting drive, this high-energy bliss bomb is akin to a full-speed highway drive on a hot summer day. Trey makes it known immediately that he'll lead the charge, which he does through a series of peaks, and brief downshifts, all underpinned by the rhythm section's undeterred push. This eventually leads to a sparkling fanfare peak, before the tides recede and > "Lonely Trip". |
