Jam chart entries
Tweezer

Very popular version, but check out the highlighted versions in this table if this version does IT for you (especially those in fall 1997).

Ghost

Raging space funk. [The expected funk breaks into fantastic and towering blissful play, then shifts to great rocking and funk-driven jamming which gradually mellows. A fan favorite "Ghost."]

Johnny B. Goode

After concluding the song proper, the band launches into a high-quality jam which retains Fall 97's tone and timbre but is also a bit of a throwback to an earlier era with its spiraling, "DEG"-laced opening segment. The second half finds a space more emblematic of the tour with Trey's ethereal wah chord washes and eventually calms down, landing delicately -> "JJLC".

Jesus Just Left Chicago

-> in from "Johnny B. Goode." Page rocks the 88s, then Trey leads the band in a blistering, intense blues fest.

You Enjoy Myself

A great, unconvential YEM to be sure... but still probably the most overrated YEM in history.

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

Setlist notes

Reba did not have the whistling ending and Disease was unfinished. Ghost included a Super Bad tease and Johnny B. Goode contained Dave's Energy Guide teases. This show was officially released as Live Phish 11.
