Soundcheck

Strange Design (several times)

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

Notes

As urged in flyers handed out by Phish.netters, many fans sat down during the silent part of Divided Sky. Down with Disease was unfinished. Over the Rainbow was performed solo by Page on the theremin. Waste through Strange Design were performed with Page on a smaller piano, Trey on acoustic guitar, Mike on acoustic bass, and Fish on a smaller drum set. This show marked the first performance of Talk and featured an atypical It’s Ice.

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 →
