Length by set
Where a song lands changes what it is: a Set 2 version of a jam vehicle runs far longer than the same song opening Set 1. One catalogue-wide average would hide exactly that.
| Set | Versions | Median | Average | Longest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Set 1 | 2 | 4:05 | 4:05 | 5:10 |
| Set 2 | 1 | 2:29 | 2:29 | 2:29 |

Based on 4 of 4 performances — only phish.in tracks that map to exactly one song are counted, so bundled segues and in-set repeats are left out rather than guessed at.
