Encore total: 8:29

Timed portion: 2:06:46 across 22 of 25 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. 3 of 25 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Notes

Suzy Greenberg, Magilla, Possum, and Golgi all contained Chariots of Fire teases. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. David Bowie featured multiple Chariots of Fire teases, both in the intro, which featured the first known Phish performance of Mo' Better Blues, and in the main song itself. Bowie also contained five Charlie Chan signals, an Oom Pa Pa signal, two Random Laugh signals (one from Trey and one from Mike), a How High The Moon signal, and a Tritone Down signal. Bowie later contained a Dave's Energy Guide tease and another brief attempt at How High The Moon from Trey. Possum also contained a Destiny Unbound tease.
