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 |

Based on 99 of 102 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.
