    Jam chartThe usual jam section is perfunctory, but improv continues after the normal ending and soon ascends to a more ethereal plane with thick bass counterpointing magisterial guitar and piano leads. Around 13:00, dirty synth sounds are introduced briefly and then melded into another round of upbeat melodic play which continues through 18:00 when the jam shifts to minor and becomes more rock-oriented, before a final delicate coda > "Esther".

    Jam chart> out of "NMINML". Trey weaves in one of the many "NICU" teases from this show into the first jam, then he suggests minor-key and Page follows him on synths, leading to a lower-boil groove replete with repeating loops and Mike goodness. The band climbs out of the muck and returns to a more upbeat rock jam, with the loops still going, and very neatly returns to "Free" proper.

    Jam chartTrey pushes through a few early miscues to share in Mike's incendiary groove. Via rhythmic shifts in meter and tone, Trey constructs a mellow, effects-enriched jam, which, colored by Page's wraithlike atmospherics, coasts atop Fish's steady beat, before driving the version to a strong conclusion.

    NoteBob Gullotti on a second drum set.

    Jam chartAfter an amazing start to the II, it becomes clear that Trey has little interest in the "Hood" he dialed up following a great "Bowie." Check out the show for more details, but in lieu of "thanking" Mr. Minor, Trey aborts the song and ->'s into "Free". The band unleashes, resulting in one of the finest performances since 95. The jam is marked by great improvisation "inside" the version, that sort of shimmering Summer 97 "funk" aided by guest percussionist Bob Gullotti, a musician perfect for this "Free" - or any other.

    Jam chartThe second extended, highly improvisational "Free." An absolute tour-de-force, few Phish jams are as raw and intense as the Landover Free: almost uncomfortably so. Arising from rancor between Trey and Fish following a botched introduction to “Rift,” this multi-sectioned jam explores emotions of anger, contempt, release, and ultimately reconciliation over its 30+ minute voyage -- with Trey making three excursions to his mini-kit to spar with Fish (most notoriously when the rest of the band is ready to play “Bouncing” and Trey says no). Absurdly must-hear. Also includes "No Quarter" teases and a "BATR" tease. -> to "Llama."
