Timed portion: 2:18:40 across 13 of 14 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. 1 of 14 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Notes

Maze contained a Spooky tease from Trey. The Wormtown Jam continued the stage banter of the night before. Portions of the narration were sung to the tune of Steve Miller’s Swingtown, as Trey warned the fans in attendance about the “killer worms” that inhabit the canals of Amsterdam. Mike teased Maze in the Bowie intro. This show was officially released as part of the Amsterdam box set.

Teases

Spooky — Trey

Maze — Mike (in the Bowie intro)
