The concert’s opening two songs, “Buried Alive” and “Down With Disease,” are seminal records & the latter typifies the late-1995 sound, execution, and seamlessness that the band’s fans exalt. During "Wolfman's Brother,” singer and guitarist Trey Anastasio flubbed the lyrics to the song's bridge, and remarked that, since he likes them so much, he would sing them again. The narration during "Fly Famous Mockingbird" referenced the "Land of Chocolate,” which referred to both the town's association with The Hershey Company and a sequence from the Simpsons episode "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk". The song "Catapult" was started over the hi-hat intro normally used for "David Bowie.” "David Bowie" also featured quotes of Homer Simpson (“mmmm... chocolate”) and a Simpsons musical quote. This was also the first time ever that "Mike’s Song" and "Weekapaug Groove" were played without another song in between them.
