Jam chart entries
Funky Bitch

Atypical version with a low-key funk groove tacked on the end in addition to the usual blues stylings. Unfinished.

Wolfman's Brother

Yin-Yang improvisational version. Following the expected funk, the jam breaks into 9+ minutes of lush, beautiful and delicate playing. But around 15:30, some dissonance creeps into the mix, and the boys then launch into an insane, heavy-metal "Pentagram Death Jam" with "Sanity" and "Esther" lyrics and CK5 dimming the arena lights.

Stash

Has a magnificent, melodic jam in it beginning about 13:10. Pure unadulterated hose at one point. Unfinished with a -> to an excellent "Free."

Free

-> in from a monster "Stash." The only performance in Fall '97. In addition to an excellent, extended version, the band tacks on a nice 4 1/2 minute ambient jam to the back end of "Free." -> to "Piper."

Jam

> in from "Free." A nice ambient jam emerges on the back end of "Free" and -> to "Piper."

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

Setlist notes

Funky Bitch and Stash were unfinished. During Wolfman's, the lights were turned off and Trey and Mike ducked behind the onstage speakers. When the lights were turned back on, they were hidden from the crowd. Wolfman’s also included a heavy metal style jam with Trey quoting the lyrics to Sanity and Esther. Them Changes made its Phish debut at this show.
