Encore: Julius [8:27]
Encore total: 8:27

Timed portion: 2:31:06 across 19 of 22 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. 3 of 22 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

Notes

Sweet Adeline was last played on September 2, 2011 (200 shows). Peaches en Regalia was last played on August 28, 2012 (164 shows). Secret Smile was last played on July 26, 2013 (141 shows). Trey teased It's Your Thing in 46 Days and Dave's Energy Guide in Theme. DWD contained an Under Pressure tease from Trey and was unfinished. Trey teased WTU? in Fuego. Kung was last played on December 31, 2012 (156 shows), was performed over Twenty Years Later in the background, and was quoted in the return to Twenty Years Later. Makisupa featured Trey on Marimba Lumina and Mike and Page on percussion. Page quoted Makisupa Policeman in the Harry Hood intro.

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 →
