Jam chart entries
Reba

Trey employs a silky, milky-whammy sort of effect, generating a really groovy, laid-back jam. Extremely fluid, extended, and atypical jamming features strong, rhythmic play from all, the version coasting, moving pleasantly upon its own kinetic energy, not quite building but rather dissolving to create a fantastic > into "FEFY."

Julius

Another version where the jam is made more interesting by starting with a nice swinging groove, and only very gradually building the intensity.

The Moma Dance

Good, funky playing before the lyrics. The main jam segment has a very nice peak and scat singing throughout.

Tube

Slow grooving at the Gorge combining funk and ambience. > to "Slave". Released on Live Bait Volume 9.

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

Soundcheck

Jam -> Dog Log

Setlist notes

Trey teased Lazy in Julius. Reba did not have the whistling ending. Axilla featured the Axilla II ending. Trey teased Oye Como Va in the soundcheck's jam. This show was released as part of The Gorge '98 box set.
