Jam chart entries
Runaway Jim

Fantastic, very improvisational jam that is quite different than most including beautiful quieter parts. -> into "My Friend."

Limb By Limb

The '97 "Limbs" were a great vintage, and this version is another excellent bottle well worth opening.

Julius

At about 7:30, departs from standard "Julius" into several new directions. Returns to the song several times, only to venture out again, further into new territory, including funk and reggae modes. Perhaps fitting that the only, truly exploratory "Julius" transitions to the only, truly exploratory "Slave."

Slave to the Traffic Light

The "Type II" version. The band breaks into a dissonant, spacey jam following the standard one that eventually > to "The Lizards." "Slave" purists may not care for this one, but cannot deny its improvisational aspect.

Loving Cup

Would be interesting to know how many calories Trey burned while shredding the hell out of this one.

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

Setlist notes

Julius and Slave were both unfinished.
