Jam chart entries
McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters

Super, subtle, and very '98. Page drives a quiet jam featuring great Fish, and colored by Mike and Trey.

Reba

1998 is an awesome year for "Reba," and this HUGE L.A. version is a principal reason why. After breezing along in typical fashion, Trey summons a series of chords, and the jam enters a darker, more ambient space. This morphs into an awesome, deconstructed segment that would be at home in the "Tower Jam," before slickly seguing into "Walk Away."

Walk Away

-> in from a massive "Reba." Nice version with an extended and rocking outro jam which neatly -> to "Simple."

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

Soundcheck

Dirt, Water in the Sky, Dog Log, Roggae

Setlist notes

Trey teased San-Ho-Zay in Julius. Driver and Sleep were performed acoustic. Moma contained a Super Bad tease from Trey. Reba did not have the whistling ending. Walk Away was played for the first time since May 7, 1994 (368 shows). This show marked the Phish debut of The Beatles’ Something.
