Jam chart entries
Tube

Trey takes the melody while Mike punctuates the funk groove with great slapping.

Tweezer

Jamming is groovy, and very cool at times (MIKE!), but still kinda dull for stretches. Good -> "Have Mercy"

Taste

-> in from "Have Mercy." Similar to, but more stretched out than 7/3/99. Yet it doesn't have quite the melodic bliss.

Jam

A brief blues jam is played while guest artist Son Seals leaves the stage. > to "DwD."

Down with Disease

Blistering hot straightforward jam eventually runs out of fuel and gasps for breath for a stretch before regaining momentum and focus and returning to "DwD."

Sneakin' Sally Thru the Alley

-> in from "Wolfman's Brother." Great relaxed jam emerges from the back end of this "Sally." Gathers energy with Page and Trey adding nicely to a solid Mike/Fish groove. > to "Timber (Jerry)."

Timber (Jerry the Mule)

Even further removed from the typical "Timber" jam than the '98 offering, this version is quite subdued and passively brooding. It gains momentum and power, but has none of the fury of earlier years. A high quality version nonetheless.

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

Soundcheck

Mr. Sausage, Beauty of My Dreams, Carini (slower)

Setlist notes

This was the first show of the Camp Oswego festival. Have Mercy was played for the first time since November 12, 1994 (336 shows). Son Seals sat in on guitar and vocals for his own composition, Funky Bitch, as well as the Phish debut of On My Knees. Afterwards, a brief blues jam was played as Son left the stage. DWD included a You Better Believe It Baby tease from Mike. Sneakin' Sally did not contain a vocal jam.
