Jam chart entries
Run Like an Antelope

From a show known for its indelible second set, this terrific Fall '97 version lights up the first frame in the two-hole with a uniquely funky opening and then builds to full-power with heavy effects use from Trey. Thanks for the head's up from @jmart in getting this readded to the chart.

Foam

-> in from "Bathtub Gin." And, the -> is really top notch. Another stellar '97 version.

Maze

> in from "Fee." Modulation by Page with a crescendo pop gets this version cranked up, and then Trey adds some downright creepy effects to put this one into the mind melting category.

Tweezer

Just spectacular improv. MAGNIFICENT VERSION. MUST HEAR.

Izabella

-> in from a classic '97 "Tweezer." "Izabella" breaks away from the standard at about 4:20 into an excellent and funky groove which -> to "Twist."

Piper

-> in from "Twist." First Piper to really break out into improvisation. Jam is raging at first, mellows briefly, and then gathers fresh steam. There is no closing coda section (which would become more customary).

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