Jam chart entries
Limb By Limb

In addition to hosting Bob Gullotti on a second drum set, the boys bust out the Funk towards the end of this version - an extremely rare style for a "Limb" jam.

You Enjoy Myself

"Willie the Pimp" tease just before the segue into "Izabella." (No B&D, no VJ.)

Timber (Jerry the Mule)

Bob Gullotti on a second drum set. Set II opener takes the typical "Timber" jam, extends it and cools it down a bit to a more mellow groove while maintaining a good rhythmic pulse. Never loses the dark "Timber" vibe.

Free

After an amazing start to the II, it becomes clear that Trey has little interest in the "Hood" he dialed up following a great "Bowie." Check out the show for more details, but in lieu of "thanking" Mr. Minor, Trey aborts the song and ->'s into "Free". The band unleashes, resulting in one of the finest performances since 95. The jam is marked by great improvisation "inside" the version, that sort of shimmering Summer 97 "funk" aided by guest percussionist Bob Gullotti, a musician perfect for this "Free" - or any other.

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

Setlist notes

The entire show featured Bob Gullotti on a second drum set. YEM did not contain a vocal jam and included Willie the Pimp teases just before the segue into Izabella. Bowie contained teases of the backup vocals to Rock Lobster (B-52s). Hood was unfinished. The soundcheck's Funky Bitch was performed in a slow style and was an instrumental.
