Jam chart entries
Esther

This very pretty and subdued version features notably strong playing from Trey and Page.

AC/DC Bag

Jam breaks at about 5:45 into a rhythmic, wavy, slightly funky groove. Gets more funky, and Trey, and then Page (on the B-3) tease "Electric Funeral" (Black Sabbath). At this point, the jam really rocks until the ending.

You Enjoy Myself

Very strange version with no jam segment to speak of. (No B&D.)

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

Setlist notes

Over the Rainbow was played for the first time since August 13, 1996 (152 shows). Terrapin Station made its Phish debut at this show, as the band commemorated the third anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s passing.
