NoteThis was the second show of "The Clifford Ball" festival. "Reba" did not have the whistling ending. Trey sang the verses of "Fee" through a megaphone. Before the second set, Trey paid tribute to Aaron Stein of Syracuse, who was front row center for every show of the tour. The first "Brother" since August 2, 1993 (257 shows) featured Ben and Jerry on guest vocals. "Wilson" included a "Heartbreaker" tease. "Antelope" featured a female acrobat twirling in the rigging, suspended above the stage in a circus-like fashion. "Scent of a Mule" featured a Page/Fishman duel instead of the typical Page/Trey duel. "Tweezer" had big trampolines on each side of the stage and more circus shenanigans. A stunt plane circled overhead during "Tweezer Reprise" and "Harpua". "Harpua" was unfinished; it was completed on August 16, 1997 at "The Great Went".
