To echo SLOTHelot, this second set 12/28/97 is exceptional Phish. No surprise for Fall 1997, right? This AXILLA is for the AX ages ........extending into what I note as "Ax Sick Illa Jam." IT goes places, just listen. This is THE AXILLA! As it sounds like they're going into BOTT after Axilla (ah no friggin way it's only 1997) it's a SIMPLE melt into and then a rebirth of the > Ax Sick Illa Jam again - slow version - Trey playing those notes > a Funk Jam develops > then a pause before GHOST! This JAM before GHOST has kept this recording on my wall of Phame!! Need I say more? In Trey's words....
