Jam chart entries
Wolfman's Brother

Lots of good funk, then the jam starts to uncork, but cycles back to more funk. Around 11:00, the jam breaks out into some great "C&P"-like jamming before settling and > to "Maze."

Maze

> in from "Wolfman's Brother." Frenzied chaos run amuck.

Bathtub Gin

A classic "Type I" jam drops into funk mode for a good 6 minutes before returning to the "Gin" theme. -> to "Makisupa."

Makisupa Policeman

A strong jam emerges beginning at 6:20. It's bluesy at first and then moves to a gentle, down-tempo rock jam, typical of '97 Phish, beginning around 7:27. Nice -> "AC/DC Bag."

AC/DC Bag

-> in from "Makisupa." Similar to 8/13/96. Intense, stretched-out version where the band just keeps it going and going.

Chalk Dust Torture

Bob Gullotti on second drum set. The band really stretches this version out, then at about 9:45, the jam mellows into a rhythmic and bluesy groove that eventually hints back at "CDT" before -> to "Taste."

Taste

Joined by the late, great Bob Gullotti, this unique rendering (unsurprisingly) finds a percussive, pulsating groove, but just as the jam is about to peak with the traditional late-'90s "Taste" outro, it instead segues seamlessly into -> "Ya Mar."

Ya Mar

Bob Gullotti on second drum set. -> in from "Taste." Big two-way drum solo. -> to "Ghost."

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