Jam chart entries
You Enjoy Myself

Explosively funky, and extensive C&P teasing! (No B&D, no VJ.)

Black-Eyed Katy

The little brother of 11/23/97. Funky beginning and a great, extended peak.

Timber (Jerry the Mule)

Although it sticks with the "Timber" theme throughout, this is an excellent, well-played version. High quality SBD available on the "Spreadsheet."

Limb By Limb

Like driving across a mountain range, this version takes you over the first peak, you drop down a bit, then back up again, and again up over the very top, before finally heading down for good on the other side.

Slave to the Traffic Light

Somewhat unusual mid second set placement, before a serious "Ghost." This one and 8/9/97 have a bit more of the traditional "Slave" dynamic, with a serious peak, rather than a gradual swelling like other '97s.

Ghost

Raucous techno-funk with breakdown jam. [Strong funk through 9:45 when this one uncorks, quiets down to some cool low-key play, then rebuilds to a captivating and explosive finale and -> to "Johnny B. Goode."]

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

Setlist notes

YEM featured Crosseyed and Painless teases, did not include the bass and drums segment, and ended with a shortened vocal jam that segued into I Didn’t Know.
