Timed portion: 1:10:02 across 12 of 22 songs — a floor, not the show's length.

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. 10 of 22 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Notes

This show included some funny stage banter, including Trey’s announcement after TMWSIY: “That was called ‘The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday... and I’m going to get my head sharpened.” Lushington did not contain any lyrics. A set break was announced after Ya Mar, so this is the complete first set. The songs listed as in the second set are believed to have been performed in that set, though it is unknown whether more songs were also performed in the second set, and if there was a third set as well. This show featured the first known performances of The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday, Divided Sky, Harpua, and Bundle of Joy, as well as the first known Phish performance of Avenu Malkenu. The keyword for Makisupa was "Woke up in the morning, dioxin on my head / Woke up in the afternoon Gaddafi in my bed."
