Great article, as always. Can't wait to see you dig into the rest of this tour.
I believe (not sure how to check, but I am pretty sure I'm right) that this tour includes the only set every played where, back to front, every version of every song is bolded on the phish.net jam charts.
Well, Wormtown and Wading are jamcharted but not in bold (i.e., not "recommended" versions).
I admit it's kind of a wonky stat--is 8/17/97 2 diminished in any way because they played Uncle Penn, a song that doesn't even have a jam chart? But it's fun.
Other sets where every song is jam charted (working mostly from memory, list is very possibly incomplete):
These Japan 00 shows are the write ups I’ve been waiting for. A blip of potential in an otherwise forgettable phase for the band. I stopped after summer of 99 (didn’t get back in until 2012), but revisit the Japan 00 shows often.

7/2/97 is another one, which supports Rob's thesis.

Is there any video of this available? The show notes say "This show was re-broadcast on
Japanese television." Thanks!
Hmm, there's some footage from the next two nights here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jACt_U7nrM4
Maybe that's what they meant?
Good to know, thanks!
