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 | 7 | 2:01 | 2:07 | 2:37 |
| Set 2 | 3 | 1:36 | 1:36 | 1:50 |

Based on 31 of 31 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.
