Jam chart entries
Ya Mar

Fairly ordinary, but much more spirited and up-tempo than 7/4/99, until the ending gets a little spacey.

Ghost

Relentless molten neon electro rockslide that comes to rest in a glistening mountain lake. [Fish and Mike lead a fantastic, uptempo groove, and as Trey pours it on, you can literally hear the audience get whipped into a frenzy, then soothed with a great outro.]

Birds of a Feather

An upbeat and snappy groove develops beyond "BOAF", which then bounces between spacey and pumped-up forays. The band was apparently playing along to a wild thunder and lightning storm occurring at the time.

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

Setlist notes

Trey played keys for part of PYITE. During Meatstick, Trey talked about the band’s desire to teach fans the Meatstick Dance and break the world record. He then informed the crowd that the New Year’s Eve concert would be played in Florida. Fire's lyrics were changed to "Move over, Rover, and let the Bad Lieutenant take over." This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.
