Timed portion: 2:16:38 across 21 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. 2 of 23 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).
Soundcheck
A soundcheck isn't part of the show and counts toward no song's play total or 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 →
