SET 1: Shaggy Dog, Take the 'A' Train, Fee, Bold As Love
SET 2: Timber (Jerry the Mule), Satin Doll > The Lizards, The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday > Avenu Malkenu > Bundle of Joy > Camel Walk, The Practical Song[1], Harry Hood, Esther[1]
This show included the first known performances of The Practical Song and the old version of Esther (with different lyrics). 'A' Train contained London Bridge Is Falling Down teases. The listing for the first set is probably incomplete.
SET 1: Peaches en Regalia > Walk Away, Slave to the Traffic Light, Wild Child, AC/DC Bag, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird, Bold As Love
SET 2: Possum, You Enjoy Myself, Cities -> Dave's Energy Guide > Cities, Good Times Bad Times, On Your Way Down > Whipping Post
This was definitely a three-set show, although a setlist for the third set is not known. Apparently, the lone taper’s ride home from the show had to leave early! Wild Child was played for the first time since September 27, 1985 (149 shows).
No known setlist
There was no show on this date. The show that circulated for many years as "9/27/87" has been determined to have occurred instead on February 20, 1988.
SET 1: Possum
This performance was for the wedding of Teri and John Paluska. Aside from Possum, which apparently accompanied the cake cutting, the rest of this setlist is unknown. Pounding System opened. This information is from Phish.com
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: AC/DC Bag, Fluffhead, Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, Divided Sky, Wilson, David Bowie, Lushington[1] -> Possum, Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Makisupa Policeman, Timber (Jerry the Mule), Shaggy Dog, You Enjoy Myself
Lushington did not contain any lyrics. Makisupa included the band playing with varied special effects. This setlist is likely incomplete.
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.
SET 1: Low Rider Jam > Big Leg Emma, Wild Child, Back Porch Boogie Blues, Camel Walk, Possum[1], Fire, Slave to the Traffic Light, In the Midnight Hour
SET 2: Melt the Guns[2] > T.V. Theme[3], Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley[4], Prep School Hippie[5]
SET 3: Mike's Song > Dave's Energy Guide, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters > Cities, Anarchy, Revolution, Anarchy[6], Revolution[7], Makisupa Policeman
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: Dog Log[1], Prep School Hippie[1], Camel Walk, Alumni Blues, Run Like an Antelope, Dave's Energy Guide, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters
This was an in-studio set that was aired live on the WRUV “Exposure” radio show. Before Antelope, the band invited fans to the Slade Hall gig on the following night. Prep School Hippie was introduced as “Trust Fund Baby.” This performance was the band’s first with Page as an official member and featured the first known versions of Dog Log and Prep School Hippie.
