Jam chart entries

Limb By Limb

Debut. Band sounds a little shaky trying to get this new song right, especially Fish with the complex rhythm.

Vultures

Played twice during "Bradstock" (6/6/97), "Vultures" properly debuts in Dublin, a month before the band's historic 1997 summer tour. While the song will be reworked over the coming years, its essential elements are place, namely super intra-band improvisation, working within the "context" of the song's form, framed, in large part, by incredible percussion and rhythmic variation.

Chalk Dust Torture

Jam breaks into a nice funky-but-rockin' groove. Unfinished with -> to "Ghost."

Ghost

Cursory initial inspection of form and function...healthy purr from the motor...let's rev this thing up. [Debut.]

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

Setlist notes

Phish continued their tradition of breaking out new songs at the beginning of a tour; Trey announced after Dogs Stole Things that the band had written 15-16 new songs in the last eight weeks and that they would be debuting many of them at this show. The show featured the debuts of Dogs Stole Things, Limb By Limb, Wading in the Velvet Sea, Water in the Sky, Vultures, Ghost, and Olivia’s Pool as well as the Phish debuts of Stand! and Izabella. Stash was preceded by a Tequila tease. Chalk Dust was unfinished. Character Zero included a Jean Pierre tease from Trey.
