Jam chart entries
Runaway Jim

Breaks into a great groove at 9:15 with some early funk sounds from Page and Trey before -> to "Vibration Of Life."

Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.

Setlist notes

Page teased Maple Leaf Rag at the end of Gumbo. The Vibration of Life was announced by Trey as “Written by God” and was performed for the first time since November 30, 1994 (148 shows). At the end of Axilla, the light crew also received a bizarre tribute and Leigh Fordham, a member of Phish's light crew, was mentioned several times. The Hood lyrics were subsequently altered slightly to include a bit about Leigh Fordham. Suzy Greenberg included Leigh Fordham references as well as La Grange and Axilla teases. We’re An American Band made its Phish debut in the city referenced in its lyrics. The Dog Log/Funky Bitch mashup was the music of Funky Bitch with Trey singing Dog Log and Page singing Funky Bitch.
