Timed portion: 2:45:49 across 19 of 21 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 21 songs here are untimed for that reason (or because the show isn't on phish.in at all).

gold = bustout (long gap) · red = jam chart · [m:ss] = phish.in duration (click it to listen) · hover a song for its 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 →
