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	4	6:51	6:51	7:23
Set 2	3	7:06	6:59	7:12
Encore	4	6:04	6:20	7:10

Based on 11 of 11 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.
