Encore: Grind [2:07], I Been Around [2:22], Highway to Hell [4:37]
Encore total: 9:06

Timed portion: 2:46:25 across 22 of 24 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 24 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Soundcheck

I Been Around, Kids, I Kissed a Girl, Beauty of My Dreams

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

Notes

The Harpua narration centered on a depressed Jimmy calling on his Spirit Guide who happened to be a “funny little man wearing a dress” who spoke truth through song (in this case, I Kissed a Girl). This show featured the Phish debut of I Kissed a Girl (described by Trey as “so wrong on so many levels”).  After Harpua, Trey remarked to Fish that he was waiting for the day when Fish went to see Katy Perry and she performed a Phish song, prompting Fish to declare, “I don’t apologize to Katy Perry for that. I only apologize to [the audience].” Prior to the encore, Trey stated that it was hard to play the last show of the tour because they felt like they could just keep going.  Before starting the debut performance of I Been Around, Trey explained that they were playing it because he realized that it was the one song off of the upcoming album (Joy) that they hadn’t played live.

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 →
