Note"2001" included a "Get on the Good Foot" tease. The "YEM" vocal jam was based on donuts. "Sweet Adeline" was performed without microphones. The opening segment of "Harpua" was performed in a normal 4/4 time signature as opposed to its usual 7/4 signature. "Wildwood Weed" (a Phish debut with Les Claypool on vocals) and parts of "Harpua" featured Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde of Primus. "I Want To Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" also made its Phish debut at this show and featured the Yodeling Cowgirls on vocals, Claypool, LaLonde, and John McEuen. "Suspicious Minds" featured four Elvis impersonators on vocals with Fishman joining in at the end. "Suzy Greenberg" featured Claypool, LaLonde, McEuen, the Elvis impersonators, The Yodeling Cowgirls dancing on stage, and actor Courtney Gains on Trey’s percussion rack. One of the Elvis impersonators led a "Susie Q" jam at the end of "Suzy Greenberg".

Encore Notes: Most of Harpua had Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde from Primus. After the opening, Les did a rap about a weed or something like that. Then more Harpua and the Jimmy story (Jimmy and Poster Nutbag going to Vegas). They stop and camp. At the campsite, they start yodeling, at which point John McEuen, Heather and Anamiekl August did a country/yodel tune. The story continues, Jimmy and Poster meet up with four Elvis' on the edge of Las Vegas and have a duel. The four Elvis's sing the first few verses of "Suspicious Minds" and then Fishman continues. Jimmy is victorious. Then the dog and cat fight occurs. Harpua wins and the song finishes. At some point everyone returns and then Brian Mantia, the drummer for Primus, shows up for "Suzy Greenberg." "Suzie Q" is lead by one of the Elvis'.
