THE GOOD: A short one-set show, Phish played this one pretty safe (and also ran out of time!) and therefore there's not much in here to pinpoint in a tour of solid performances. Coil here has some extended interplay amongst the whole band which is quite nice. The Runaway Jim is the meat of this...
This was the only show I saw all summer. Which is a bummer because it was definitely one of the best summers in the history of the band.

Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
After a good improvisational start to '93, "SOAM" suffers a slight "Type I" malaise in late spring and early summer. Here, the jam progressively frays the edges, getting more outside the box and paving the way for the huge August versions.
As @SLAVEPHAN notes, the band pushes through an Arabic, minor-key groove, and the version features some distinct hey-jamming, with each musician taking turns changing the musical direction. Play becomes quite tense, and, at times, there seems to be no real resolution on the horizon. One of the finest "short" versions.
