Self, Dahlia, and Revolution’s Over (all Phish concert debuts) featured the Dude of Life on vocals. This show also featured the first performances of Tube, The Asse Festival, Buried Alive, Magilla and Stash. It also featured the first known performance of Landlady played outside of PYITE, although this is not confirmed. The first Phish performances of Minute By Minute, Paul and Silas, and Goin' Down Slow also occurred at this show. Trey referred to Fish as Zero Man after Tube and both before and after Minute By Minute. Trey said Landlady was indirectly dedicated to the spirit of Carlos and later said Buried Alive was written about a strange dream he (Trey) had. Minute by Minute featured Fish on trombone. Possum featured the first known Secret Language: three Charlie Chan signals as well as Popeye, Oom Pa Pa and Random Note Signals. AC/DC Bag contained Charlie Chan and  I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart signals and the second Buried Alive featured a Charlie Chan signal and two I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart signals. 'A’ Train subsequently included a Buried Alive tease. Sparks was played for the first time since November 5, 1988 (223 shows).
