Jam chart entries
Theme from the Bottom

Great, tight playing by all. Page adds some unusual horn-like effects as well as some descending piano progressions towards the end. > to "Black-Eyed Katy."

Black-Eyed Katy

Extended, explosive jam. Vintage Fall '97 hard rock that reaches a screaming, full-band climax. Builds on the strong version from the night before.

Twist

Excellent version which develops its own groove with a somewhat dark undertone.

Stash

After a brief shift to major mode, the tension ratchets up noticeably. At 10:45, Mike and Fish break into a droning, repetitive groove which Trey and Page play over. This thunderous thrumming continues and -> to "NICU."

Bathtub Gin

Improvisational, hard-rocking "Gin." At 13:00, following a well-played, "Type I" section, the jam breaks into 13 minutes of blistering, intense arena-style rock, before mellowing into great '97-style low-key jamming. -> to "DwD."

Julius

Some great, fire stoking playing by Trey as he brings this hot show to a fitting close.

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

Soundcheck

The Wedge, noodling/Demand, Beauty of My Dreams, Back at the Chicken Shack

Setlist notes

Disease contained a Can't You Hear Me Knocking tease. Stash and Bathtub Gin were unfinished. This show was released as part of the Hampton/Winston-Salem '97 box set.
