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 | 52 | 4:34 | 4:32 | 6:05 |
| Set 2 | 26 | 4:31 | 4:34 | 5:22 |

Based on 80 of 82 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.
