Encore: Cavern [5:04]
Encore total: 5:04

Timed portion: 2:06:43 across 18 of 20 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 20 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Soundcheck

Blues Jam, Have Mercy, NICU

A soundcheck isn't part of the show and counts toward no song's play total or gap.

Notes

Suzy and Mike's Song contained Money teases. Oteil Burbridge joined on bass during Mike’s Song, also jumping on the trampoline. They were then joined by Stacy Starkweather on stand-up bass for the jam out of Mike’s Song, during which the band members switched instruments and Entrance of the Gladiators was teased. At one point, Trey wound up on drums while Fish played Page’s organ. Cavern contained a Stairway to Heaven tease from Trey.

Teases

Stairway to Heaven — Trey

gold = bustout (long gap) · red = jam chart · [m:ss] = phish.in duration (click it to listen) · hover a song for its gap.

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 →
