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

Notes

In a nod to the previous show, Trey said "Carini's gonna get you" in Lawn Boy. 2001 contained a Long Train Runnin' tease from Trey and was unfinished. Brother included a brief Dave’s Energy Guide tease and was followed by a short instrumental reprise, which was announced as the “radio-friendly version.” Trey contrasted this with the normal version, which was deemed un-radio-friendly due to its length. Ghost, which Trey jokingly remarked was also not radio-friendly because it is long and slow, included an I Can’t Turn You Loose tease. This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.

Teases
