Encore: Cavern
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: The long, involved Rotation Jam to set up Rock A William started when Page went to the theremin for a solo. Soon after, Trey took up the keys and Mike went to play guitar. Page eventually picked up Mike’s bass. After they jammed a bit longer, Mike went to join Trey on the keys. Trey then joined Fishman on the drums. The two of them played on the same drum set and Mike took a piano solo. Trey eventually kicked Fishman off the drum stool, and Fishman picked up Trey’s guitar. SOAM contained a Third Stone from the Sun tease as well as a Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part Two jam.
This show was part of the "1997 Summer U.S. Tour."

This Cities is one of the biggest jams of the tour, really capturing the open-air feeling of the season, and peaks with a lovely I-IV jam that (to my ears) deliberately invokes 'Ramble On.' Enjoy!
