Jam chart entries
Wolfman's Brother

Classic "Type I" version that lets go of the funk, making way for some blues-inflected power jamming with great Page.

Horn

Standard "Horn" -> to an incredible and classic '98 ambient jam.

Jam

-> in from "Horn." A superb cerebral and lush, vintage '98 ambient jam uncorks itself on the back end of "Horn."

Birds of a Feather

Slightly extended jam with the beginnings of some exploration beyond the standard.

Limb By Limb

In addition to a stretched out, well-played jam, this version has a nice ambient closing that segues -> to "Simple."

Tweezer

"California Love" tease, "Manteca" theme.

California Love

-> in from "Tweezer." "California Love" is sandwiched in the "Tweezer" jam.

Tweezer

-> in from "California Love" to continue this "Tweezer."

Free

-> in from "Tweezer." An awesome jam develops that is unique, with great Fishman and Page on the B-3. Unfinished.

Harry Hood

Delicate, directed, and fantastic playing by Trey leads to a soaring peak. Mike and Page are great, too.

Wilson

Encore version has Trey leaning into a heavy power chord riffing extravaganza out of the initial "solo" section. The jam threatens to go even deeper before returning to the lyrics, but after "Can you still have fun?" Trey proceeds to unload a furious, rapid quiver of wah licks for a slightly extended fanfare. > "Tweezer Reprise."

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

The Way I Feel Jam

Setlist notes

Page teased "Charge!" after Moma Dance. Some humor surrounded the Guyute ending; fans of stage banter will want to seek this segment out. Fish teased Peaches before Limb By Limb and Glide in Simple. This show was officially released as Live Phish 17.
