DOOLIN'S · Burlington, VT · 1985 Tour Era 1.0

Set 1: Alumni Blues, Skippy the Wondermouse, Bertha, Jam, Mike's Song notes ↗

Times come from phish.in and are shown only where one track maps to exactly one song. Segued songs are often released as a single bundled track carrying one duration for several songs, and a song played twice in a set can't be told apart — those get no time rather than a made-up one. 5 of 5 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Notes

During the jam, cartoons were shown behind the band on six television screens. The cartoons got faster and faster while the band did the same. If the 2/1/85 setlist is not correct for that date, then this show featured the first known performances of Alumni Blues and Mike's Song.

Jam-chart marks are curated by hand and lag the shows — the most recent months are sparsely marked because nobody has written them up yet, not because the jams were weak. See coverage →
