Debuts of "E-maj Jam" and "Sleep Well Tonight," the second of which will be on the Sturges & McGeehan album. Chameleon and Fortunate Son appeared after long gaps. During The Devil, the screen on the fireplace fell on BG and the band had to pause and then restarted midjam.

The Same to Me, Airbag, The Devil, Quinn the Eskimo->Weekapaug Groove

Show notes: UNC Thursdays on the Terrace series. The Same to Me was dedicated to the picture above the band on the wall. The Devil included a lengthy jam including a spacy section and a swing jam. Debut of Bob Dylan's "Quinn the Eskimo," which Frank subsequently forgot most of the words to and as a result had the band segue into Weekapaug Groove because "it's a Phish song that has only about three words because Phish isn't into that stuff."
