Jam chartExcellent, extremely fluid version with "old-school" overtones. Play is primarily straightforward, but there is beauty in this, given that one: The band quickly, and quite notably departs to jam (almost as if to atone for the absence of ideas of the "Oblivion" Trey aborts to -> into "Lope,"), and perhaps more importantly, two: Given the nature of the song, it is principally marked by Trey and Page's intricate play.

Jam chartFirst: Listen to the aud. Second: Inspired, given the evening's theme, the band is game. More so than most of late, the band dallies a bit, seeing "Lope" as playful as is ought to be, with all sorts of (and you don't even need to watch) smiling band intraplay. Page is of course crashing in on his keys; Mike is hammering from the start; and Fish is Phish (or close); but this version dominates because Trey attacks. No set-closure, we're early on here, and Trey makes that clear. When he works his effects before reaching for that peak, tune in. And keep listening - because it's false. And then we're in .....

Jam chartNo muss, no fuss, just a particularly cleanly played "Antelope" from early Summer 2021, with Trey's chops still in superb quarantine-honed shape. And the peak ain't too far away from the old days, either.

Jam chartWith an exception or two (11/30/94, 8/11/04), "Antelope" always begins and ends the same way. What's in between separates the great from the typical. This version nicely strays from the ranch from 4:50 - 6:15, and includes a nasty, gnarly and tension-loaded push to the peak.

"Gacktoidler Esquandolas" from Trey in the Rye Rye Rocco section. Very fun version to close out the first set of a very fun show.

Jam chartPer @sandyfr "Closing a strong first set, this Antelope starts with some classic siren loops, before moving beyond the standard fare around 9:00, gradually losing any form of sensible key. The music morphs into an atonal wall of filthy harsh noise, as the alien mix of shoegaze and free jazz create a swirling tornado of cacophony."

Jam chartViewed as a groove-based jam, there is a lot of improvisation going on including some great syncopated jamming (which occurs again in the excellent "Suzy" that follows). But compared to versions from 1994 and earlier, there is no radical departure from the basic song structure other than a brief settle. For this period however, it stands out.

Before / afterThe SlothGap3SET 1Jam chartOne of the longest versions to date. A bright, playful intro leads into a mellow groove, typical of Fall '98 "Antelopes", but what makes this version stand out is all of the little guitar flourishes. Amid the tranquility of the other members' playing, Trey brings novelty, dissonance, and a call to ramp up the intensity - which is happily obliged. The groove gives way to a brooding march and more standout play from Trey leading into more playfulness in the "Rye Rye Rocco" section.

Jam chartSweet Mike in a straightforward jam, then hilarious Trey banter near the conclusion referencing Fish's mysterious and unexpected absence earlier in the show. Excellent quality recording available from Live Phish for $0.99.

Jam chartJam builds up in conventional form until 7:30 when it breaks down into a low-key groove with great Mike and Trey. The energy rebuilds into a standard "Antelope" jam, but with an Allman Brothers-like vibe, then the tape runs out near the end.

Jam chartThe first truly "Type II" version (beginning about 10:00) has a settled section with some "DEG"-like jamming. This version also has sections of intense, chaotic dissonance and great Machine Gun Trey action.
