Encore: Highway to Hell [3:58]
Encore total: 3:58

Timed portion: 1:49:20 across 17 of 23 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. 6 of 23 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Soundcheck

Jam, My Mind’s Got a Mind of its Own

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

Notes

Maze included Call to the Post and Happy Birthday teases. Ginseng Sullivan and Dog Faced Boy were performed acoustic without microphones. Ginseng also featured Fish on washboard. Page’s piano solo in The Squirming Coil was cut short when Trey brought out a birthday cake for Page and attempted to lead the audience in a round of Happy Birthday. Tweezer included the Phish debut of Earache My Eye.

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 →
