1988-08-22

NECTAR'S · Burlington, VT · 1988 Tour Era 1.0

Set 1: Take the 'A' Train, Satin Doll, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird, Fluffhead, Cities > Dave's Energy Guide > Cities, Suzy Greenberg, The Lizards

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. 11 of 11 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Notes

Satin Doll was dedicated to Fish's t-shirt. McGrupp featured Fish on trombone. Mockingbird featured a "Paul Languedoc/Duct Tape Rap." Fluffhead was preceded by "Sailor in Jeopardy," which included Popeye and Jeopardy! themes. "Sailor" was then played as a jazz version. Fluffhead was introduced as “Lunkhead” and was dedicated to Mike (and his new mountain bike) and to Fish’s newly-shaved beard. The songs listed here are believed to be just one set. The setlist for set II (and set III if three sets were played) is unknown. The source of this setlist is phish.com.

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 →
