NoteThis was the first show of "The Great Went" festival. "Harpua" picked up where the "Clifford Ball" "Harpua" left off. After "Chalk Dust", Trey remarked that the first three songs served as the soundcheck, which the band did not do before the show. The jam out of "Simple", as well as the beginning of "My Soul", included "Odd Couple" theme teases. "Halley’s Comet" included "On Your Way Down" teases. "Cities" included an "After Midnight" tease, as well as Trey altering the lyrics to reference “Fishman sleeping in the daytime.” The "Julius" intro was partially performed a cappella with finger snaps. "Funky Bitch" featured a fireworks display behind the stage that culminated as the song ended. After the show, the members of Phish DJ’d under pseudonyms at a festival tent in what has become known as the "Disco Set".
