As YEM began, the entire dome became the view from inside of a car as it entered a "Tunnel of Luv" car wash, with the stage appearing to sit on top of the middle of the dashboard. The car progressed through the wash as YEM continued, with Trey's solo during the wax and wheel scrub, and the bass and drums as the car was dried and exited the wash. Suddenly the car view was gone, and it appeared that the dome was clear, with a puppy licking it from the outside, in slow-motion, for the duration of the vocal jam. During Velvet Sea, the dome appeared to be covered in flowing red velvet, with photographs of the band throughout the years appearing and disappearing among the fabric. By the end of the song, the entire dome was covered in photos. Trey teased The Secret of Life (The Dead Milkmen) in Hood.

Throughout the evening plaster had been falling from the balcony; after Mr. Completely, Brad Sands made a brief appearance on stage, after which Trey announced that due to concerns about the balcony bouncing that the rest of the show would be performed acoustic. There was a theme from Leave It to Beaver tease after Mr. Completely. Before the encore, a member of the audience shouted “Free Bird!” While Trey declined to play the request, he offered two related stories: the first was about Trey and Fish on vacation in Greece and encountering a bunch of punks playing “Free Bird” on their boom-box; the second related how Phish had offered their a cappella rendition of “Free Bird” for a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute album, but that it had been turned down.

Melt contained A Love Supreme teases. After the ensuing Catapult, Trey remarked: “Only at the largest concert in the world could we get away with playing a song like that.” After Midnight made its Phish debut. The late set, also known as “The Show,” began at around 11:35. “Father Time” was on stage, pedaling on an exercise bike that powered a large clock. The sounds of the clock’s gears could be heard through the sound system. About ten minutes before midnight, “Father Time” collapsed from exhaustion and the clock stopped. Then, a large fan boat entered the concert field and approached the stage. Early in its journey, the fan boat exploded away and revealed the hot dog used in the 1994 New Year’s stunt. While the band rode the hot dog to the stage, an instrumental version of Meatstick began to play over the P.A.. The band reached the stage and fed several meatsticks to Father Time, reviving him so that the clock could continue moving toward midnight. The band then took the stage and played Meatstick to begin The Show. Dancers were on stage prior to Phish reaching it. Auld Lang Syne and Disease were accompanied by fireworks. Heavy Things was recorded live and rebroadcast as part of ABC television’s New Year’s Eve coverage. In a humorous effort to confuse the home audience, Trey instructed the crowd to yell the word “cheesecake” in lieu of cheering at the end of the song. After twice giving the example of yelling the word once, Trey changed his mind and instructed the crowd to chant it, adding for them to say it like they were pissed. Trey then introduced the band for the rebroadcast and offered a message of peace and harmony for the world where he reminded people to drive in the right lane unless passing another vehicle. Meatstick was subsequently teased as the New Year approached in the central time zone. YEM included a vocal jam based around the word “cheesecake” and Trey altered the lyrics to Axilla and Albuquerque to reference the word. Inlaw Josie Wales featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Sand contained My Soul teasing from Mike and segued into the debut of Quadrophonic Toppling. Rock and Roll included an After Midnight tease.

After the show closed with yet another version of Meatstick, the Beatles song Here Comes the Sun was piped through the crowd at sunrise. Two bustouts were played: Crosseyed and Painless (first since August 13, 1997, or 159 shows), and Love You (first since July 5, 1997, or 179 shows).

The subsequent jam out of YEM comprised of solely Mike and Phil.

Will It Go Round in Circles and Gotta Jibboo made their Phish debuts at this show.

This show was part of the Fuji Rock Festival and took place on the Field of Heaven stage. Ghost contained Brick House teases. Before Bike, Fish told the crowd that he would play guitar instead of vacuum because the Electrolux vacuum did not make the trip to Japan. Afterwards, Trey said that the song was meant to impress Yoshimi, the drummer from The Boredoms, because Fish has “a crush on her.”

This early afternoon set took place on the Green Stage of the Fuji Rock Festival that also included Blur, Catatonia, Chemical Brothers, Fountains of Wayne, Underworld, and ZZ Top. The set was webcast live. Before PYITE, Trey apologized for not speaking the language and brought out a translator who addressed the crowd in Japanese.

Trey played keys for part of PYITE. During Meatstick, Trey talked about the band’s desire to teach fans the Meatstick Dance and break the world record. He then informed the crowd that the New Year’s Eve concert would be played in Florida. Fire's lyrics were changed to "Move over, Rover, and let the Bad Lieutenant take over." This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.


Trey teased Super Bad in 2001. Weekapaug included a 2001 tease. The encore was preceded by a story from Trey about how he and Page grew up “around here” in Jersey. Trey then referenced “the greatest songwriter of all time” and said that he, too, grew up in the area. While some in the crowd expected Bruce Springsteen (who was in the middle of a run of 15 sold-out dates at New Jersey’s Continental Airlines Arena), Trey produced Tom Marshall. Tom appeared in the classic Born in the U.S.A.-era Springsteen outfit, complete with red bandana. He subsequently sang the Phish debut of Born to Run. As the song concluded, Tom mocked a bunch of Springsteen-esque arena-rock clichés, such as throwing his bandana into the crowd and jogging offstage to a handler who threw a towel around his shoulders. During the song he even aped some dance moves from the Dancing in the Dark video.

The joke basically went: "So there's this guy who's walking down the street, and he sees this dog laying there licking his balls, and he's talking to his friend and says 'boy, I sure wish I could do that,' and the friend says 'don't you think you ought to pet him first?'"

Mike teased Good Times (more popularly known as Rapper's Delight) in YEM. BBFCFM featured Fish on vacuum during one of the pauses and teases of the Leave It To Beaver theme (aka The Toy Parade) from Mike.

Trey teased Sailor's Hornpipe in 'A' Train and Heartbreaker in Good Times Bad Times. After Lizards, Trey congratulated the audience (“A lot of people have tried, but you’re the first to have done it!”) for clapping on the beat during the slow end solo. Before Fee, he repeated the compliment: “I hope you didn’t think I was making fun of you ... clapping on the upbeat – wow!”

Yield Not to Temptation was teased before Possum. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. Trey teased Dave’s Energy Guide during the Tweezer, and Simple Gifts during BBFCFM. The second encore was played after a loud and passionate “Phish” chant by the audience.

This show started with bad sound problems, resulting in the band aborting two attempts at a Chalk Dust Torture opener. After the first Chalk Dust failed, the band said a round of "thank yous" and Fish added "good night, we'll see you next time." Antelope contained a vocal jam in the intro and a Jean Pierre tease from Trey. YEM contained Who Knows teases. The YEM vocal jam was partially based on burgers. Before Terrapin, Fish was introduced as “the late Henrietta,” and then commented that he is no longer Henrietta, but has not yet thought of a new name. He and Trey introduced Chris Kuroda (as “Cooter,” with a “Charge!” tease) and Colorado fan “Erik the Viking.” Terrapin included a brief Whole Lotta Love jam. Weekapaug contained a Theme from Bonanza tease by Trey.

Trey teased Entrance of the Gladiators in Stash. Dinner and a Movie was dedicated to "Lauren," who had donated Fish the vacuum cleaner that he was using and was in attendance that night. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone.


This setlist may be incomplete and out of order.  It is unclear whether this was a one or two set show. Phish performed on this evening after Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit ("ARU"), so it may have been only a one set gig. The only copy of this show that currently circulates seems to have a cut after Suzy, and the BBFCFM cuts. Trey teased the Popeye theme in YEM. Suzy contained a Stairway to Heaven tease from Trey as well as an Auld Lang Syne tease. ARU's Oteil Burbridge on bass, Jimmy Herring on guitar, and Jeff Sipe on trombone joined Phish for My Sweet One and Tweezer -> Dave's Energy Guide -> Tweezer. Trey quoted lyrics from MacArthur Park (Jimmy Webb) during the DEG, which was played for the first time since March 1, 1989 (275 shows).

The YEM vocal jam was based on burgers. The HYHU intro and outro and the intro to Antelope included Let's Go teases. Love You and the Whole Lotta Love Jam featured Fish on trombone.

Trey teased Buried Alive in Divided Sky. Bowie contained Sounds of Silence teases in Fish’s high hat intro, and had a silent jam near the end of the jam segment. Ya Mar contained a brief Happy Birthday tease from Trey. Bag contained a Bonanza theme tease from Trey was also unusually adventurous, with three dead stops during the jam segment and uncommon dissonance. Trey briefly started Horn before Harry Hood, but abandoned it. Before Terrapin, Trey announced that Fish would be “bringing out the big, heavy artillery” for the people in Keene. The “artillery” was Fish’s new vacuum, which made its debut at this show. Fish noted that “if I bleed during this song, that’ll just be part of the effects.” Inspired by his new instrument, Fish took an exceedingly spacey solo during Terrapin, complete with ersatz wolf howls, before singing the final verse through the vacuum.

The Bowie intro contained a Steppin' Out (Joe Jackson) tease from Page. Carl Gerhard made a guest appearance on trumpet during the encore. La Grange featured a Buried Alive tease from Trey.

This show featured the first performances of Tweezer Reprise, Guelah Papyrus and Chalk Dust Torture. Page and Trey teased Dixie during Reba. The Mango Song was played for the first time since September 16, 1989 (184 shows), though Trey curiously introduced it as being “new.” The second set was cut short due to Brown University’s curfew; after Cavern, a representative from Brown (Trey: “I don’t want to tell them, you tell them!”) informed the crowd that the show had to end by midnight and that the next song had to be the last. During a pause in Letter to Jimmy Page, Trey noted: “we’re not going to forget that this got cut short, and the next time we’re back in the area we’re going to make it up to you.” Before the hasty encore Trey remarked: “we’re going to have to watch out for the ‘big hook!'”

Alumni was dedicated to “all the graduating seniors.” The Bowie intro contained a Mo' Better Blues tease by Trey. The soundcheck's first Asse Festival was sung by Mike only with improvised lyrics and was followed by Fish singing a bit of No Good Trying. The Pendulum Jam featured a Low Rider tease from Page.


Gumbo featured Fish on trombone. Fish was introduced as Mrs. Bob Seger in I Didn't Know. Antelope contained Jean Pierre teases from Trey.

Landlady was preceded by I Dream of Jeannie theme and Contact teases as well as Landlady dance instructions. The I Dream of Jeannie theme was also teased in Lizards. YEM included a Cheap Sunglasses tease from Mike and Weekapaug included a Fishin' Hole (aka The Andy Griffith Show theme) tease. Trey introduced Fish as “the hardest working man in show business... Henrietta!” before I Didn’t Know. Possum contained two Charlie Chan signals and a Popeye signal.

Trey teased the theme from Bonanza in Suzy Greenberg. YEM's lyrics were changed from "God" to "Food." YEM contained two Charlie Chan signals, an Oom Pa Pa signal, a Random Laugh signal, and Cheap Sunglasses teases from Mike. Possum contained Charlie Chan and Random Note signals in its intro and a Dixie tease from Trey. The Lizards intro was paused for a dedication to the band's good friends Jim and Esme who were celebrating their 4th anniversary that night. Trey added The Lizards was a "song of love" and Page teased Wedding March. Trey forgot the words to a verse of The Lizards and sang it with no words instead. Phish opened for Alex Chilton.


An emcee announced before the show that Phish would not be performing since they broke up in the dressing room beforehand. Instead, he announced that the show would be performed by “Phish 2000.” Trey teased Buried Alive in Landlady. Possum contained two Charlie Chan signals as well as I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart and Oom Pa Pa signals, while Buried Alive also contained Charlie Chan and I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart signals. My Sweet One contained Mockingbird teases. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone.

Bowie also included Fire On the Bayou and Wipe Out teases from Mike.

Phish played a one set show and were the third of four bands to play that night. There are no known recordings of this show in circulation.

Tweezer contained two Charlie Chan signals and Random Laugh and Popeye signals. Possum contained Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals as well as a brief Dixie tease from Trey. Prior to the first HYHU, Trey introduced Fish as "Captain Zero."

This performance was part of Skidmore Oktoberfest. The beginning of Hydrogen included the lyrics "I walk awakening on the misty fields of forever." Possum contained Charlie Chan and Popeye signals. The opening act was Conjunction Junction (previous information indicated the opener was NRBQ, but they actually played the following night of the Oktoberfest).

This show was a Lawn Boy release party. Trey dedicated Reba to his friend "Dave." YEM contained Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals and a Sweet Emotion tease from Mike. Some recordings that circulate with this date are actually a compilation of performances from this show and the previous night.

Tweezer included three Charlie Chan signals as well as Popeye, Random Laugh and Oom Pa Pa signals. Fish was introduced by Trey as “Red Doughnut Man.” This show included the debut of Destiny Unbound.

After Reba, the crowd was chanting "cheeseburger." Fish and Trey subsequently went into a rap about burgers. Trey dedicated Forbin's to the Colonial (Bruce Hampton). Forbin's was then performed with a variety of lyric substitutions of Col. (Bruce) Hampton for Col Forbin. Rocky Top through Antelope featured the “Reverend” Jeff Mosier on banjo; Antelope also featured Oteil Burbridge on bass. As Fish took the stage during HYHU, the crowd chanted for Fee. Fish sounded perplexed and remarked that he doesn’t sing Fee, but Trey and Page started the song up anyway and left Fish on the spot. He tried his best and got through the first verse before falling apart during the chorus. Terrapin featured Fish on trombone. The band said "Fee" several times at that start of Possum, which contained subsequent Blue Monk teases from Trey and a Rhapsody in Blue tease from Page. BBFCFM contained an Auld Lang Syne tease from Trey. The source of Set I is phish.com.

The opening act was Widespread Panic. Trey teased Johnny B. Goode in Possum and Happy Birthday in Ya Mar. During Love You, Trey introduced Fish as Friar Tuck.

After Whipping Post, Trey welcomed the crowd to the second set and apologized for taking such a long break. The comments were in reference to their last show in the Keene area (2/22/90), at which heavy smoking and/or a fire alarm resulted in the show being aborted after the first set. Possum ended with a Sailor's Hornpipe tease from Trey. This show marked the first and only known performance of Metal Bagel Death, which was a dedication to some friends who had recently opened Keene Bagel Works across the street.

No known setlist


A band called Indecision opened.

This setlist is incomplete. Ya Mar contained a tease of The Christmas Song by Trey. Weekapaug included a tease of Life's Been Good by Mike. The opening act was The Modern Beatniks.

Phish alternated sets at this gig with Blues Traveler, with Phish playing their first set, followed by Blues Traveler playing their first set, Phish playing their second set, and then Blues Traveler playing their second set. John Popper sat in on harmonica for Funky Bitch and JJLC. Funky Bitch was preceded by Trey explaining that they were going to introduce Popper as Chris Kuroda to pull a joke on their former light man, Tim, who used to jam on harmonica with the band but "wasn't that good."  Trey said they would give the tape to Tim and tell him that Chris was getting pretty good on the harmonica. Trey asked the crowd to yell "All right Chris!" when Popper came out on stage. After Jesus Just Left Chicago, Popper said "I better get back to those lights." Trey teased DEG in Mike's Song and Dixie in Ya Mar. Lizards was teased before Antelope. Contact included Low Rider teases from Page.

Harry Hood was dedicated to Trey’s friend, “Dave.” Trey dedicated Rocky Top to Katie McConnell (Page's sister) and the contingent of Volunteers from the University of Tennessee. Trey teased Third Stone From The Son several times, off-key, in Mike's Song. Weekapaug included a Bonanza theme tease from Trey. Before If I Only Had a Brain, Fish was introduced as “Moses Heaps.”

The vocal jam in YEM included Under the Boardwalk, Get a Job, and My Girl quotes. Clod was played outside of Fluffhead for the first time since February 7, 1988 (198 shows). Page teased Take the 'A' Train in Bathtub Gin. Before and after Brain, Fish was introduced as Marco Esquandolas. Harpua included a Third Stone From the Sun tease and Sunshine of Your Love teases. In response to some fans chanting "Elvis", Trey changed the "The storm's gone!" to "It's Elvis!" and Mike subsequently spoke in an Elvis Presley voice. Take the 'A' Train contained a Flintstones theme tease from Trey.  The second encore may be filler from another show.

Bowie included Wilson, the Sesame Street theme, Entrance of the Gladiators, and Manteca teases and was unfinished. The listing for the second set is most likely incomplete.

Mockingbird included a Jeopardy! theme tease from Page. The intro to Antelope featured Old McDonald Had a Farm and Yakety Sax (the Benny Hill Show theme) teases. No Dogs Allowed was played for the first time since August 4, 1988 (132 shows) and was dedicated to Dave. I Didn't Know through Antelope featured Dave Grippo and Russ Remington on saxophone. I Didn't Know also featured Fish on trombone. SOAM had to be started a second time after the lights went out before the a cappella segment of the first attempt. Hood contained an Odd Couple theme tease from the horns. This was the first known performance of In a Hole, which included a tease of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme.

According to Phish.com, this show was listed in the October 1989 Phish Update, however, the venue is unclear. It may have been Copperfield's or The Orange Grove, or possibly Clements. This setlist is incomplete and likely incorrect as well. Home videos were shown both before and during this humorous Bike. Trey jokingly referred to TMWSIY as “The Man Who Stepped Into Dog Log.”  A recording of "10/13/89" circulated with a very different setlist (e.g., McGrupp, Divided, Reba, Mike's Groove, etc.), but that music is believed to be from 10/10/89 Front, where the second Reba was purportedly performed, according to Phish.com.

Fish performed Happy Birthday (last played July 12, 1988, or 134 shows) on the vacuum for his brother David. This setlist is incomplete and likely out of order.

No known setlist


While it is believed this show was played, confirmation could not be established.

While it is believed this show was played, confirmation could not be established.

Trey teased Donna Lee in You Enjoy Myself. Slave to the Traffic Light included a Dazed and Confused tease from Trey. Mike's Song contained a Frankenstein tease. Trey teased Back in Black after Possum. Donna Lee was “the sing-along version.”

Sanity was the fast version. Richard Wright provided guest vocals on Halley’s Comet. Sweet Georgia Brown was teased before and in the Bowie intro. Linus and Lucy was also teased in the intro. Bowie was subsequently announced as, dedicated to, and sung as “Lazy Lester.” This show contained the first known version of Bathtub Gin.

Possum contained Johnny B. Goode teases.

SET 1: Possum, Contact


The two songs in this setlist were related by a former Phish Mail Order Employee who attended the show. The setlist is incomplete, out of order and the songs listed may belong to either set. The source of this setlist is phish.com.

This performance was part of The Rock Rumble band competition. This setlist is incomplete. Fish was lowered naked from the rafters during I Didn’t Know for a “vacuum solo” instead of his trombone solo, but the vacuum was not powered up. Hollywood Indians, Gidget and Ghandi, Sundog, Peg Tassey, The Fortune Tellers, The Cuts, The Switch, and Dark Hollow also performed. Mike Luoma of WIZN was a judge and Arty Lavigne of WIZN was the emcee; Arty read an introduction that Phish had handed him.

Some recordings of this show have the venue mislabeled as Chez Pierre. Possum contained a Woody Woodpecker theme tease from Trey and If I Only Had a Brain featured Fish on trombone.

This setlist is incomplete. This show marked the beginning of Chris Kuroda’s career as Phish lighting director. Chris ran lights during Mockingbird while then lighting director Chris “Steck” Stecher was in the bathroom. Trey had complimented Stecher on the lights for Mockingbird; after later learning that it was Chris who actually ran lights for that song, Chris was named the new lighting director.

SET 1: Whipping Post


No setlist exists but Kuroda recalls a long version of Whipping Post was performed at the show that he describes as his favorite Phish rendition of a cover song.This information is from Phish.com.

This setlist is incomplete and is out of order. The only recording in circulation is a mix of songs from the show, which features Hydrogen brutally cut out of the Mike’s Groove. This setlist is in the order in which those songs appear on the mix. (The mix also includes several songs from the Paradise show on January 26, 1989.) Possum contained a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tease, which raises the question – were these songs really performed in March 1989? David Bowie closed the first set. Before Brain, someone introduced Fish – or is it Phish – as being “from Bogota, Columbia.”  It is therefore possible that Brain opened this show, which would be the only (known) time that Brain opened a show.

This second set listing may be incomplete, as recordings that circulate cut during Camel Walk. YEM contained a Jean Pierre tease from Trey.

This show contained the first known version of Split Open and Melt. The setlist information for the second and third sets is unknown.

It is unknown if 'A' Train was performed in the first or second set of this show.

I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. David Bowie's lyrics were changed to "Charlie's Birthday."

Mr. P.C. featured Carl Gerhard on flugelhorn; this was his first known appearance with Phish. Mr. P.C. included a Spider-Man theme tease. Some recordings circulate with Timber in the second set and an encore including Peaches, Funky Bitch, and Donna Lee; this is actually filler from the October 29, 1988 show.

SET 1: Mike's Song


It is unknown if Mike's Song was played in the first or second set of this show.

On the recordings of this show in circulation, both Dinner and a Movie and Slave are cut. Cities included Dave's Energy Guide teases before actually segueing into the song. ‘A’ Train included a London Bridge Is Falling Down tease from Trey. Funky Bitch was dedicated to The Blue Sevilles, a band playing across the street. Satin Doll was preceded by a Sailor's Hornpipe tease from Trey and a Jeopardy! theme tease from Page. The band brought light board operator Tim Rogers on stage for his birthday and presented him with a “Baked in Telluride” T-shirt. Sanity featured Fish on trombone. BBFCFM included a Flintstones theme tease.

Mike teased My Favorite Things in The Curtain With. Sloth contained a Take Five tease from Mike. There was a brief Gamehendge narration from Trey after Sloth that contained a "Charge!" tease from Page. I Didn't Know and McGrupp featured Fish on trombone. Good Times Bad Times contained DEG teases and 'A' Train contained a Flintstones theme tease from Trey. Trey dedicated Bold As Love to one of his favorite guitar players of all time, Angus Young (guitarist for AC/DC). You Shook Me All Night Long was subsequently teased and in Bold As Love, "Anger" was changed to "Angus." 

This setlist is incomplete. This show featured the first known Phish performance of On Your Way Down. Mike teased Heartbreaker in the Sneakin' Sally vocal jam. It is unclear whether this recording is actually from this show (which was confirmed for this date), is from another show or is a mix with pieces from various shows. Multiple songs (The Lizards, Possum, Blue Bossa, and Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page > Alumni Blues) were previously listed in this setlist based on recordings in circulation, but these songs are actually part of July 23, 1988.

This show was part of UVM’s Earth Day Festival. If you are a stage banter fan, seek out this show for Trey’s announcements after Fire as someone requested “Page’s new love song.” Trey announced that this requested song is actually called Tela, and announced the future debut of several songs, including “The Tires” (a.k.a. Contact), “The Four-Track Song” (a.k.a. Poor Heart) and “Marijuana Hot Chocolate” (a.k.a. Foam), for which Mike gave a preview of the bass line. The Fluffhead, Dinner and a Movie, Harry Hood, and Harpua that circulated at the end of this show are believed to have been played on March 11, 1988.

This show featured the only known Phish performance of The Chicken. Sneakin’ Sally and Curtis Loew featured Bobby Brown on harmonica. Bowie began with a tease medley that included Timber, Alumni Blues, Smoke on the Water, Sunshine of Your Love, Money, Whipping Post, and several others. YEM did not contain a vocal jam. Trey teased Entrance of the Gladiators and spat out the names “Marco Esquandolas... Poster Nutbag... Moses Heaps... Moses DeWitt” during Antelope. Dinner and a Movie was dedicated to “our good friend Susannah.” Lizards was delayed, as Trey cut on Fish for losing his drumsticks during the gig; Lizards subsequently included a theme from I Dream of Jeanie tease. Some recordings that circulate are mislabeled “The Base Lounge.”

This show is mislabeled on many recordings as 8/27/87. Teases were everywhere, including a Trench Town Rock quote from Trey before Hood, a Whipping Post tease from Fish and a Jingle Jangle Jingle tease from Trey after HYHU, a full band Sneakin' Sally tease before Golgi, a Smoke on the Water tease after Sparks, La Bamba lyrics in the Low Rider Jam, as well as a full band HYHU tease and a Slipknot! tease from Trey before McGrupp. Harpua was played by request and was restarted after the opening lyric, which was repeated. The intro to Sparks was extended while Fish relieved himself. McGrupp was introduced as "The Gala Event." The third set was heavy on jamming and light on lyrics. Trey delivered some freestyle reggae rapping before and during the Makisupa Jam that some fans have labeled the “Mouse House Rap.” Mike's included a DEG tease from Trey. David Bowie contained a Tom Sawyer tease and was unfinished. This show contained the first known performance of BBFCFM and the first known Phish performance of HYHU.

Phish played this show at the conclusion of “Earth Week.” This gig featured the only known performance of Punch Me in the Eye and the first known performance of Who Do? We Do!

Free Bird was an actual attempt at the song and not an a cappella version, but was performed quite mockingly and not in its entirety. It did, however, feature Ninja Mike on vocals. Happy Birthday was sung to “Sue and Debra” and was a long, reggae-influenced version. Tell Me Something Good featured an unidentified female lead vocalist. Jim Pollock offered vocals for the only known performance of Freeworld. This show featured the first known Phish performances of Free Bird, Tell Me Something Good, and Freeworld.

No known setlist


Recordings circulate with this date with the same performance that is listed for 2/21/87.  It is unclear whether these songs were performed on 2/27/87 or 2/21/87.

The Dude of Life made a guest appearance on vocals during Suzy (first known version), Sanity, Fluffhead, and Hood. There were no vocals in Slave or on the return to Alumni Blues after Letter to Jimmy Page.

This show was a co-bill with The Joneses. Trey and Mike quoted Fuck Your Face and Minkin during the Melt the Guns intro. Halley’s Comet featured Richard Wright on vocals. Have Mercy featured Jah Roy on vocals. This show contained the first known version of David Bowie.

No known setlist


Though recordings do not circulate, it is believed that a show was played on this date at a hippie commune owned by a man named “Irving.” In a 1992 interview, Trey referenced this show when asked about the strangest gig the band has ever played. No setlist is known.

This show was an Earth Day concert at UVM and took place outside the Bailey Howe Library on the Green. This performance previously circulated with the dates April 15 and April 29, 1986. Trey introduced the band as the “Bob Dylan Band” before they began a jam that led into a short All Blues (the first known Phish performance; it was only about a minute long). Dog Log was dedicated to all of the dogs that were running around, including Marley the Wonder Dog (Trey's dog). Possum included a Help on the Way tease.

No known setlist


This performance was part of "Midwinter Muse: A Poetry Weekend" and also featured local acts Aron Tagor and Ellen Powell. Zenzile (backed by Phish), Margaret Randall, and Allen Ginsberg also read at this event.

SET 1: Jam


This show was a private party and is sometimes noted as the “Red House Party.” The Jam contained Night Fever quotes. This setlist is incomplete.

This show was performed on the Redstone campus, is likely incomplete based on song and tape cuts, and may have been two sets instead of three. This show featured the first known performances of Possum, Melt the Guns, and T.V. Theme and the first known public performance of Prep School Hippie. Boxes of macaroni and cheese were passed out to the audience to shake along with the band during Melt the Guns, T.V. Theme, and Sneakin' Sally. Melt the Guns included a macaroni and cheese vocal jam. Anarchy and Revolution were performed twice with the second versions being sung as "Sex Mob" and "Dead Cops" respectively. Trey jokingly introduced McGrupp as "Love the One You're With." The segue between McGrupp and Cities included a jam that would eventually become the end of David Bowie. The band handed out boxes of macaroni and cheese during Melt the Guns for the audience to use as shakers. The source of this setlist is phish.com.

SET 1: Big Leg Emma


This show was a benefit for the Union of Concerned Students (UCS), a group that worked with anti-Apartheid forces to help pull UVM investments out of South Africa. Herbal Tea also played at this show. It appears that Big Leg Emma may have been played, but the setlist is unknown.

This show was performed at the Last Day Party on UVM’s Redstone campus. It marked Page’s debut with the band, as he sat in during portions of the third set. In fact, Big Leg Emma was preceded by an announcement from Trey that “our friend Page, from Goddard, will sit in later.” Bring it On Home featured Bobby Brown on harmonica and Whipping Post featured Jeff on vocals. McGrupp was dedicated to Fish. Makisupa featured a reggae jam. This show featured the only known Phish performances of Bring It On Home and The Other One.

No known setlist


It is unclear whether a show occurred on this date or not. The recording of this show that circulates, both as 4/19/85 and as 5/19/85, contains the Scarlet -> Eyes -> Whipping Post from 5/3/85, and both the Midnight Hour and Fire Up the Ganja (with members of the band Lambsbread) from 3/4/85 Hunt's. 

This show featured the first known performance of Sneakin' Sally through the Alley.

It is unconfirmed if this setlist is correct for this date, as it is identical to the first set of 2/3/86. If the setlist is correct, this show marked the first known performances of Mike's Song, Dave's Energy Guide, You Enjoy Myself, Alumni Blues, Letter to Jimmy Page, Prep School Hippie, and Run Like an Antelope.

Trey, Mike, Fish, and Jeff Holdsworth performed what is believed to be their first public gig together as Phish on this night. The band was short on equipment, so a hockey stick was used as a microphone stand. Between sets, the DJ spun some Michael Jackson and Trey drummed along to the album. The house music (which included more Michael Jackson) was presumably turned up after Fire on the Mountain to drown out the band. The setlist may be incomplete, though, as the master recording contains nothing after Trey’s sarcastic comments about Michael Jackson following Fire on the Mountain. All songs were, of course, Phish debuts. Back in Black was teased before Scarlet Begonias. While this show is often billed as an ROTC Halloween Dance that took place on October 30, 1983, this is incorrect. The master copy of the recording of this show, as unearthed by Phish archivist Kevin Shapiro, contains a handwritten note that pegs the date as December 2, 1983. In discussions with Kevin, band members confirmed that they recall rehearsing for this show over the Thanksgiving Break, and that the show was a Christmas semi-formal. Also, it was not an ROTC-sponsored event; it was a dorm dance in a predominantly ROTC dorm (Mike’s dorm at the time). It was long believed that the band's name for this show was "Blackwood Convention" but Trey advised in a 2019 radio interview that "we were never fucking called 'Blackwood Convention.'"
