Notes

This show was Phish's 95th performance at Madison Square Garden, included several 1995-related references (a setlist composed of songs from the band's 1995 era, Trey wearing a Jah Volunteer shirt, a chess board, and a mini drum kit) and featured multiple bustouts: Ha Ha Ha (last played August 27, 2021, or 231 shows), Drowned (last played October 15, 2023, or 113 shows), and Johnny B. Goode (last played July 8, 1998, or 927 shows). Wilson was preceded by Page's chess move for the band (the P.A. announced a checkmate, but Page moved the band's rook to C4 rather than A4, threatening the audience's queen rather than king). Timber (Jerry the Mule), Halley's Comet, Prince Caspian, Drowned, and It's Ice featured Trey on a mini drum kit. Trey teased Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35 in Timber (Jerry the Mule) and San-Ho-Zay in Halley's Comet. Drowned contained teases of Tequila, Long Tall Glasses, and Cissy Strut. Trey teased Johnny B. Goode in Loving Cup.
