Though this was the first Phish show after Jerry Garcia's death (at a venue that the Dead played regularly) Jerry's passing drew no mention tonight (that would be saved for the Shoreline show)

Phish’s 54-show Fall 1995 tour opened in Sacramento, CA at the Cal Expo Amphitheater. It was the beginning of a 3 month adventure that zigzagged the country from West to East. We got new songs, odd song placements, and a couple very interesting structural song changes from the norm. Plus, there’s...

Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
Mike and Trey highlight this excellent, fun, rocking and well played version. It's mostly straightforward, but high quality fare nonetheless. Try 9/27/91 for another terrific non-exploratory version, separated by 4 years to the day.
The jam veers into different territory at 8:45 as the customary "Hood" harmonics are upended by a shift to minor mode. Returns to normal "Hood" after 10:30, building to a nice peak which gradually fades with no closing refrain.
Some very good exploratory jamming midway, with lots of descending melodic lines from Trey. Great tension as the jam builds up with excellent work by Trey.
