Jam chart entries
Wolfman's Brother

At 7:40, the jam leaves standard "Wolfman's" and moves into some great free-form improvisation that migrates from funky rhythmic playing to really beautiful, melodic and exultant music. The jam mellows gradually and -> to "Lizards."

Slave to the Traffic Light

Beginning with classic '98 ambience, there is ample delicate space early on. Yet Fish drives this jam to soaring, powerful heights, with Mike, Page and trilling Trey each masterfully responding to the rhythmic foundation. The final, well-coordinated push to the summit is epic.

Fluffhead

An all around strong performance is particularly notable for a cool and different Fender-Rhodes solo by Page in Clod, solid Mike throughout, and a riveting and wild Arrival. Machine Gun Trey leads the charge, but in the style of 1998 rather 1990. Check this one out if you want to hear Phish blow the lid off an arena with a blistering closing.

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

Setlist notes

Carolina was restarted after Page’s miscue and ended with a choreographed stage routine. Moma contained a Shafty tease from Mike. Sleep and Dog Faced Boy featured Trey on acoustic guitar.
