dr_strangelove 1) YEM -> DEG: This YEM has a bit of gas in the tank, and the transition into DEG works as a pseudo-vocal jam/foray into absurdity

2) Punch Me in the Eye: A deliciously bizarre one-off that is well worth a listen. The tune is clearly a very distant relative of PYITE, with the two bearing almost no resemblance. PMITE sounds like a song that went through some dedicated writing and planning, as there are multiple segments including the goofy falsetto beginning, a rather sick funky prog jam middle section, and an ending segment that sort of sounds like a sped up 1950's do-wop pop tune. A very rad piece of Phish history and to top it off it bounces energetically into a very raucous Alumni Blues

3) I Am Hydrogen -> Who Do? We Do!: Another very peculiar and fascinating bit of Phish history in this show! First, the "I am H2" is notable because it gets jammed out briefly before transitioning into "Who Do? We Do!". For its debut, this segment of Fluff's Travels has a deliberate start/stop rhythm to it, but otherwise seems to have the basic chord progression that we know today. Another piece in the Fluffehead puzzle emerges!
