- Notes: Amazing jam that begins in heavy funk mode and transitions to a more quiet vibe before shifting into high gear with some serious rock and roll. The jam then breaks into some beautiful, peaceful and textured playing ("HOSE") before rebuilding into a powerful groove. Transitions into "GTBT." Must-hear. With "Listen to the Music" (Doobie Brothers) jam.

Fan Reviews:
“The set opened with the Talking Heads’ “Cities”, catching me off guard. We were celebrating, but most people seemed to have no idea what was going on. This song was rare (the first East Coast “Cities” in three years) and after Ventura I didn’t expect to see it a second time on the tour, and certainly not as an opener. The song starts out with a slow groove, and has a very spatial sound. As Trey develops a solo, Mike pushes the jam along. At six minutes, the song takes a turn as Mike changes the tempo and Fishman tightens up. This jam slowly becomes funkier, as Trey weaves in and out of the locked rhythm section. At eleven minutes, Trey begins to layer his guitar with a sound reminiscent of “Free”. At fourteen minutes, the jam collapses. Trey then begins to strum a beautiful rhythm pattern, one that I have subsequently heard at other shows in different songs. It is defiantly a semi-composed jam that the band is familiar with. After Trey’s intro, and on cue, Mike starts up a flowing bass line and the rest of the band dive in behind him. Page begins to overlay nicely sparse chords, leading to a long beautiful piano piece over Trey’s rhythm. At twenty minutes, the jam begins to peak. As Trey begins to turn up the fuzz, Fishman breaks down the beat and becomes focused on the one. At twenty-three minutes, the one smoothly becomes the opening notes of Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times/ Bad Times”! The audience went crazy, and the energy in the pavilion was intense. The jam out of “GT/BT” is very similar to the early jam on Cities.”
“Cities is absolutely excellent, the Ramble On-Esque jam towards the end is the sound of summer boiled down into 5 beautiful, breezy minutes.”
“Met the band before the show in a health food store. Requested Cities. Trey said he will try to remember that. Asked Page about the theremin. He started laughing.”
“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.”
“Cities goes PORNO FUNK into wide-open jamming. I think the jam evokes Franklin's Tower, the Grateful Dead song, listen and decide for yourself.”
“How anyone can say this Cities didn't reach pure improvisational bliss is beyond me. I put it up there with the absolute best (if not THE best) Phish jams of all time! It's amazing from start to finish, beginning with some really dirty funk and moving into some raging rock n roll, but something happens around the 15:30 mark, and the next seven or so minutes contain the most beautiful, uplifting, and magical moments of music I've ever had the privilege to experience. Even listening back to it now fills me with the same feeling of pure joy that it gave me seeing it that night in Indiana over seventeen years ago. And I'm not sure where people hear the Ramble On similarities. I definitely hear hints of Franklin's Tower more than Ramble On. I also don't understand the complaints about the rotation jam. Would you rather hear another version of Bouncin' or some cool psychedelic weirdness? I'll take something unique like this any day, though you're sure as hell not going to get anything interesting like that these days”
“The Cities set opener is a real barn burner. they take this one way out there going through funk, to space, and back up to rock and roll before slamming into good times bad times."
The Cities is the main attraction here. The last 5 minutes are some of the best floating hose Phish you can find. I was trying to find what the jam sounds like, and some other people were saying it sounded like Ramble On or Franklin's Tower. It doesn't really sound like Ramble On, and it only bears a small resemblance to an instrumental Franklin's Tower. So I did some research and I think I found what it (kind of) sounds like: All I Want Is You by U2 (1988). I heard it on the radio and I immediately thought of the 8/10/1997 Cities. So if anyone else has a comment I would like to hear what they have to say about that.”

This is the dirt
Def Ramble On Clear As Day To Start The Jam
Who is the one insane person that gave this a thumbs down? WTF!
Bitch was mad he wasnt there
Must be that journalist who wrote in the paper about Phish "urinating in the ears of their audience." That famous review was actually about this exact show.
The older I get the more I feel the urge to leave the city. Anybody else looking to find a village?
Yes please!
Still one of the great jams of all time, and it’s not a Doobie Brothers jam, it’s a Franklin’s Tower jam...
Or a Foolish Heart jam :)
or ramble on
about the 16 minute mark. A bit if foolish heart.
That is Doobie Bros. groove, bro. Doesn’t really sound like Franklin’s at all.
6 minutes and change shit gets serious life decision major, slight change of plans this summer. Band was cookin with gas.
yo
Man I think we're well past the point of calling top Phish jam of all time on anything in particular. At best it needs to be narrowed down to best whatever songs jam of all time. There just way too many lol. I been a pretty strong fan for 30 years now and I'm still hearing shit that just takes me away. Even noticing things on songs Ive listened to before.
Its time the hard truth for alot of people to accept as fact. Phish IS the best JAM BAND of ALL TIME. Yeah The Dead had better songs, no question. Better lyrics tho Marshall is criminally underrated. But strictly speaking improvised jams? Phish hands down.💯🐟🎶☝️🤯✌
Edit- not saying other bands aren't amazing. But apart from Panic, moe., a couple others, the rest are just basically watered down versions of Phish. Their musical net is cast far and wide in the jam community. Deservedly so. Sorry for the rant and all this is imho of course.✌
MEH!😏
