Jam chart entries
Gumbo

The longest version to date starts off with a loose funk groove that develops into an air tight polyrhythmic groove which Trey eventually starts to solo on top off before fading out into "The Horse."

Crosseyed and Painless

The song portion is played slower than normal. The beginning of the jam is vintage '97 funk, goes into some classic "crosseyed-esque jamming" before drifting into some spacier realms.

Wilson

Christmas comes early to Star Lake when the full band delivers a "Little Drummer Boy" jam in the post "blat" section.

Runaway Jim

Incredible, straight-forward set-opener. What the jam might lack in terms of inventive improvisation (evinced earlier, and throughout Summer 1997's tour) is more than compensated for by way of tight, full-band play, and absolutely incendiary Trey, who puts on a clinic.

Also Sprach Zarathustra

Big deep groove, with some sweet staccato patterning from Trey in the second jam.

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

Setlist notes

This show featured the Phish debut of Amoreena. Mike teased the theme to Leave It to Beaver in Wilson. The end of Wilson included a Little Drummer Boy tease. 2001 contained a Super Bad tease from Trey. During the soundcheck, Funky Bitch was sung by Page and Paul and Silas soundcheck included some alternate lyrics from Trey about the February 28, 1997 version.
