Jam chart entries
Gumbo

The first jammed out "Gumbo" features a funky jam with Trey laying it down on his wah pedal. The jam begins to get spacey while Trey starts high pitched noodling out of a which a 4 chord descending pattern (not MLB) develops, with some beautiful work by Page (which sadly doesn't last long).

Ghost

Mellow "C&P"-like groove into Monster Funk ending in Went "Gin"-like jam. [A typically funky '97 version releases and then breaks into an excellent upbeat and hose-filled groove.]

Loving Cup

Another rager to close the first set.

Run Like an Antelope

Awesome, extended, and uniquely remarkable version that departs into a low-key, melodic and exploratory groove that has moments of really beautiful, major mode jamming before working back into nasty old "Antelope."

Twist

Exploratory version with some variations on the "Twist" theme through 9:10, when the jam breaks away. After some brief engine grinding, a dark, dissonant section emerges, before eventually brightening and -> to "Taste."

Taste

-> in from "Twist." Pretty intense section towards the end of Trey's solo where the whole band is just hammering away. Great Mike on this one.

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

Soundcheck

Blues Jam, Jam, Dog Log, Ginseng Sullivan, Samson Variation, Jam

Setlist notes

Theme From the Bottom contained All Right Now teases from Mike and Trey and a Close to the Edge tease from Trey. Twist contained DEG teases by Mike. The soundcheck's blues jam was played over the Samson Variation rhythm.
