Fish played this show wearing nothing but a jockstrap with a big “0,” referencing his “Zero Man” nickname, on the groin area. Trey teased Buried Alive in Split Open and Melt and Fire (Ohio Players) in Chalk Dust Torture and Possum. Antelope included a Lizards tease from Trey and a Simpsons signal, Esther included a Random Note signal, and Possum included a Birdland tease and an All Fall Down signal. Gone Daddy Gone and Rock Lobster were teased prior to the start of the second set. Some recordings that circulate include Rift at the beginning but it is believed that this is from the soundcheck.
It's Ice contained Call to the Post teases from Page. YEM included a tease of We're Off to See the Wizard and several For the Love of Money teases from Mike. The YEM vocal jam was briefly based on a "white boys attack" theme.
Prior to the start of the show, Trey teased We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Fish announced that Phish had changed their name to Mrs. Pizza Shit. Chalk Dust, Llama, Poor Heart, Harry Hood, and the conclusion of both sets (as well as the start of the second set) all featured references to Mrs. Pizza Shit. Poor Heart and Hood also had bandmembers calling each other "Mrs. Pizza Shit." Page teased Blue Monk during the Rhombus Narration. In Lawn Boy, Page referred to Trey as "Lawn Boy" prior to him taking a guitar solo. Before Love You, Fish apologized for not wearing his Zero Man outfit, explaining that he didn't have his jock strap with him. He said that the last time he was there some girl said "Hey you can see his balls!" and so that was it for Zero Man without the jock strap. Possum contained two Charlie Chan signals and Simpsons and Popeye signals (but, notably, the band responded to the Popeye signal by singing a random note, which is the Random Note signal's "secret language").
