Jam chart entries
Llama

-> in from "Bathtub Gin." Blistering playing by Trey harkens back to the "Llama" Golden Age of '90 - '92.

Fee

Ethereal outro with "Meatstick" quotes and a -> to a hot "Antelope."

Also Sprach Zarathustra

Incredible from start to finish. This has it all! Tempo changes, jazzy grooving, full band mastery, sirens, and of course danceability. Brilliant.

Wolfman's Brother

Exploratory, extremely "Type II" version. Following some classic '97-style cow funk, the jam ranges from blissfully serene and settled ground, to an extended, Trey-led blistering and somewhat dissonant section, then on to Page and Mike dominated blues rocking. This "Wolfman's" has it all, including a sweet -> to a seriously funky "Makisupa."

Makisupa Policeman

An extended, effects laden space jam begins around 5:45 and comes to a climax at 9:36, then drops right back into "Makisupa". Excellent version.

Taste

"DEG" tease from Trey. Another strong '97 version. Maybe not up there with the incredible batch from the Summer, but Trey's solo is patient, very gradually building up the intensity from a relaxed base. Page is rock solid.

Possum

Funky intro with great Mike. Excellent straightforward jam gets intense and chaotic, then turns bluesy and rocking.

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

Soundcheck

Jam, My Mind's Got a Mind of Its Own, Funky Bitch, Poor Heart

Setlist notes

The segue from Fee into Antelope included Meatstick quotes. Wolfman’s Brother contained Crosseyed and Painless teases and Taste contained a DEG tease from Trey. During the soundcheck, the jam contained Runaway Jim lyrics and Trey sang Funky Bitch.
