Set 2 total: 1:19:09 8 of 9 timed

Timed portion: 2:11:34 across 15 of 17 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. 2 of 17 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Notes

Happy Birthday was sung to "Jen" and was subsequently sung in multiple parts of Peaches. YEM contained Flash Light teases and the vocal jam was based on "why should I feed you?." I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. This show featured the first known Phish performance of Blue Bossa. Roll Like a Cantaloupe was performed for the first time since October 15, 1986 (103 shows).
