Trey added that they had a "band rule" that they all begin whistling if Fish, who likes to ramble when he talks, ever talks for longer than two minutes. Fish took a boring "drum solo," which drew whistles from the crowd. Piper contained a Lady (Little River Band) tease from Page and Trey and Possum contained a Stash tease from Trey.

No known setlist
Several fans who were in the area for the following evening’s Grateful Dead gig at the nearby Saratoga Performing Arts Center hired Phish to play at their campsite. While the show was apparently taped through the soundboard, copies do not circulate and no setlist is known.
SET 1: Slave to the Traffic Light, Peaches en Regalia, You Enjoy Myself, Fluffhead[1], AC/DC Bag > The Lizards
SET 2: Halley's Comet -> Wilson, Ya Mar -> Jam[2], I Didn't Know[3]
SET 3: Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, Tela, Fee, Golgi Apparatus, Satin Doll[4] > Take the 'A' Train > Possum, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, David Bowie
This show featured the first known Phish performance of Satin Doll. Fluffhead's lyrics were changed to "sure got some Bette Davis eyes" and the song later contained a "Get up John-Boy" quote (in reference to The Waltons). The jam out of Ya Mar featured Jah Roy on vocals. During the jam, Jah Roy quoted lines from many famous reggae tunes, including One Love, Three Little Birds, and Stir It Up. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. A-Train featured a Flintstones theme tease from Trey. This setlist is likely incomplete.
SET 1: Take the 'A' Train, Golgi Apparatus, You Enjoy Myself, Rocky Top, Light Up Or Leave Me Alone, I Didn't Know[1], Peaches en Regalia > Possum, Good Times Bad Times
This setlist is incomplete; it is also possible this is the second of three sets. Before YEM, Trey declined a request from an audience member, “Del,” and notes that: “Last night was Del request night because you graduated... if you get a Masters we’ll do another request for you.” YEM was dedicated to audience member “Ed” with Trey remarking that he wrote the beginning of YEM while in class with him. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone.
SET 1: Suzy Greenberg, Golgi Apparatus, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters, Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, Divided Sky, Boogie On Reggae Woman > Timber (Jerry the Mule), The Lizards
SET 2: Fire, AC/DC Bag > The Chase > Possum, Dinner and a Movie, I Didn't Know[1], Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird
I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. This setlist is likely incomplete.
SET 1: Slave to the Traffic Light, Funky Bitch, Take the 'A' Train, Golgi Apparatus, Phase Dance, Fire, You Enjoy Myself
SET 2: Fluffhead, Wilson > Peaches en Regalia > Divided Sky, The Lizards, Run Like an Antelope[1]
SET 3: The Sloth, Flat Fee, Dinner and a Movie, Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page > Alumni Blues, Harry Hood, Bike[2], Fee, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Big Black Furry Creature from Mars
HYHU was teased prior to the start of the second set. Antelope contained "Moses Heaps" and Moses Brown" references. Bike included one verse of Love You and a trombone solo from Fish.
SET 1: The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday > Avenu Malkenu > The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday, Clod > Slave to the Traffic Light, Funky Bitch, Wilson, Dear Mrs. Reagan, Golgi Apparatus > AC/DC Bag -> Possum
SET 2: You Enjoy Myself, The Curtain With, Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Suzy Greenberg > Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page > Alumni Blues
SET 3: Happy Birthday to You[1], Good Times Bad Times, Rocky Top[2], Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, Fee > Divided Sky, Dog Log, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, Run Like an Antelope, Makisupa Policeman, Flat Fee, Fire, Terrapin[2], La Grange, Fluffhead
The listed setbreaks may be incorrect. Happy Birthday, played in a decidedly 'dub' style, was dedicated to “Spup.” This show marked the first known Phish performances of Rocky Top and Terrapin. Flat Fee was teased after Antelope.
SET 1: Peaches en Regalia, Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page > Alumni Blues, Golgi Apparatus, Wilson, Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn), Divided Sky > Good Times Bad Times
SET 2: Fire, AC/DC Bag -> Possum, Fluffhead, Fee, The Curtain With, I Know a Little, Mustang Sally, You Enjoy Myself, La Grange
SET 3: Icculus, David Bowie, Jesus Just Left Chicago[1], Whipping Post, Anarchy, Tush, Dear Mrs. Reagan
Icculus was dedicated to Paul Languedoc’s mother on her birthday. This show featured the first known Phish performance of Jesus Just Left Chicago.
SET 1: You Enjoy Myself, Lushington[1] -> Possum, Slave to the Traffic Light, Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, Clod, Peaches en Regalia > The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday[2] > Avenu Malkenu[3] > The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday, Makisupa Policeman[4], Ya Mar
SET 2: Divided Sky[2], Funky Bitch, Harpua[2] > Bundle of Joy[2] > Harpua -> Fluffhead, Good Times Bad Times
ENCORE: Golgi Apparatus, Corinna, Letter to Jimmy Page
This show included some funny stage banter, including Trey’s announcement after TMWSIY: “That was called ‘The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday... and I’m going to get my head sharpened.” Lushington did not contain any lyrics. A set break was announced after Ya Mar, so this is the complete first set. The songs listed as in the second set are believed to have been performed in that set, though it is unknown whether more songs were also performed in the second set, and if there was a third set as well. This show featured the first known performances of The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday, Divided Sky, Harpua, and Bundle of Joy, as well as the first known Phish performance of Avenu Malkenu. The keyword for Makisupa was "Woke up in the morning, dioxin on my head / Woke up in the afternoon Gaddafi in my bed."
SET 1: Funky Bitch, Mike's Song > Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page > Alumni Blues, You Enjoy Myself > Sparks[1]
SET 2: Fluffhead, Peaches en Regalia, Ride Captain Ride[1] -> Dave's Energy Guide, Corinna, Why Don't You Love Me? > Camel Walk, Golgi Apparatus, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Based on comments made by the band during the show, it appears that there may have been a third set. However, only the first two sets are known to circulate. This gig featured the first known performances of Ride Captain Ride and Sparks. YEM contained Wot (Captain Sensible) and John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt quotes.
No known setlist
This performance was previously part of the setlist file but it was later concluded no show happened on this date.
SET 1: Slave to the Traffic Light, Mike's Song > Dave's Energy Guide, You Enjoy Myself[1], Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page[2] > Alumni Blues, Prep School Hippie, Run Like an Antelope[3]
SET 2: Tonight[4], The Pendulum[4], Babylon is Burning[4], Dec 1661[4]
This show was an African National Congress Benefit featuring Phish and South African dub poet Zenzilé Madikinea. Antelope featured Jeff Holdsworth on slide guitar. Russ Flanigan sat in on fiddle for parts of this show. Alumni was played by request. Letter to Jimmy Page contained quotes from Trey of "It's alright" before eventually returning to Alumni. Some recordings erroneously note that this show was a double-bill with The Joneses. This show contained the first known version of You Enjoy Myself, although it is possible that the correct debut was on 2/1/85, and the first known performances of Zenzilé's pieces (all with Phish) Tonight, The Pendulum, Babylon is Burning, and Dec 1661. The first set of this show is identical to what is listed for 2/1/85. The setlist for 2/1/85 is possibly incorrect.
SET 1: Anarchy[1], Camel Walk, Fire Up the Ganja[2], Skippy the Wondermouse[3], In the Midnight Hour
This show was an African Relief benefit for OXFAM. Fire Up the Ganja (which is the song Fire on the Mountain with different lyrics) featured Bobby Hackney and Jah Roy of the band Lambsbread on vocals. This setlist is incomplete and featured the first known version of Anarchy and first known Phish version of Fire Up the Ganja. This is the first known version of Skippy to have McGrupp lyrics. (This song was called Skippy by the band at this time, even though it eventually became McGrupp.)
