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 | 1 | 2:33 | 2:33 | 2:33 |
| Set 2 | 8 | 2:24 | 2:45 | 5:17 |
| Set 3 | 1 | 2:14 | 2:14 | 2:14 |
| Encore | 1 | 2:28 | 2:28 | 2:28 |
Based on 11 of 13 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.
