Jam of the Year Tour is a tour made in the Americas by Prince from July 21, 1997 to January 23, 1998. The tour breaks the record for the biggest tour in the Americas by the same artists performed during the Purple Rain Tour. The group of The New Power Generation was completely new. Some songs from the album Emancipation were played, and others from Chaos and Disorder.
