Phish (introduced by Keith Richards!) were the musical guests on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as part of a week of artists performing Exile On Main St songs on the show in celebration of The Rolling Stones' re-release of the album. Phish stuck around after the conclusion of the show and played Kill Devil Falls, which was not included in that evening's broadcast, but was subsequently aired as part of the 6/9/10 Fallon show.

Phish performed two Genesis tunes, Watcher of the Skies and No Reply at All, between which Trey gave what Phil Collins described as "a convincing argument" for inducting Genesis into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

This show was part of the three-show Festival 8. The first set, which started at noon, was billed as Phish's "first full-length acoustic set" (complete with complimentary coffee and Festival 8 themed donuts). The first set featured Trey and Mike on acoustics, Page solely on piano, and a unique stage setup that had Fish stage right with Page on the far left. Before Brian and Robert, Trey encouraged the crowd to sit down due to the "mellow" nature of the set; he added that they had never before played to a crowd that was sitting. Whether the crowd should stand up or sit down became a running joke throughout the set, until Trey confessed during Wilson that he only asked the crowd to sit down at the request of the crew and, in fact, he hates telling people what to do (and also hates sitting down). This show marked the Phish debuts of Invisible and Sleep Again. Fish performed a whistle solo on My Sweet One. The band briefly left the stage after McGrupp, returning to encore with Driver, Talk, and Secret Smile. The second and third sets were played later that evening. Reba lacked the whistling ending. Trey took a moment before Tweeprise to thank those who helped put on the festival.

This show was part of the three-show Festival 8. Playbills were distributed on-site (beginning at 12:30 p.m., 8 hours in advance) confirming that the second set (the band's "musical costume") would be the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. After Divided Sky, Trey acknowledged the beauty of the venue and announced that Page would now play a love song to the lawn since it was the first time they had played on grass in a long time. Antelope's lyrics were changed to  "Been you to have any Coil, man?" (The Coil was an art installation on the venue grounds.) Set 2 began with a video highlighting selections of the 99 classic albums displayed and then systematically eliminated on the phish.com web site leading up to the festival. Selections in the montage included snippets from Michael Jackson's Thriller, T.Rex's Electric Warrior, Metallica's Master of Puppets, Miles Davis's A Tribute to Jack Johnson, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and The Doors (self titled), among others. All of the Exile on Main St songs were Phish debuts, except for Loving Cup and Sweet Virginia. All songs in the second set except for Casino Boogie, Torn and Frayed, and I Just Want To See His Face featured Dave Guy on trumpet, David Smith on trombone, and Tony Jarvis on saxophone. Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia, and Loving Cup through Soul Survivor also featured Sharon Jones and Saundra Williams on backup vocals. Trey introduced the horn section after Tumbling Dice and again after the completion of the costume, before saying "We are the Rolling Stones. See you later." Suzy Greenberg was played with Jones, Williams, and the horns. This show featured the first Sweet Virginia since September 26, 1999 (175 shows).

This show was part of the three-show Festival 8. Stash contained an L.A. Woman tease. During I Didn't Know, Trey announced that Henrietta would, for the first time in human history, suck and blow at the same time, in the shape of a figure 8. Disease was unfinished. During Bowie, Trey said, "I'm gonna give you a little hint about the Halloween album now."

There were two soundchecks for Festival 8: an acoustic afternoon session, followed several hours later by a separate electric soundcheck that evening. The electric soundcheck was broadcast on Phish's on-site festival radio, JACK-FM 95.9 "The Bunny" as well as Sirus/XM Radio. The acoustic soundcheck was not broadcast and the song order may be incorrect. The short Devil With a Blue Dress On Jam included the chorus and part of a verse sung by Trey, as well as a Good Golly Miss Molly quote. The Starship Trooper Jam consisted of part of the Würm segment of the song. Before Liquid Time, Trey quoted Fuck Your Face and briefly teased Kids (MGMT); the jam out of Liquid Time dissolved into a vocal jam featuring the band members snoring and featured a Lengthwise quote from Trey. 

This impromptu reunion took place at Brad Sands’s wedding reception. This was the only known performance by Phish during the “break-up”.

Phish performed on top of the theater's second-floor marquee at West 53rd Street and Broadway. The soundcheck earlier that day included an instrumental jam similar to Quantegy. The first Scents was taped for The Late Show with David Letterman and aired that night. Then Phish waited as Paul Shaffer and his band (from inside the theater) played an instrumental version of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. The remainder of Phish's performance was for the benefit of a few hundred fans assembled on the sidewalk across the street. Neither version of Scents contained the intro. This version of 2001 contained only one “verse.”

During an unannounced performance by Trey Anastasio’s ensemble, one by one all of the members of Phish joined in while one by one all of the members of Trey’s band sat out, leaving Phish to complete Sand and then perform Chalk Dust.

Phish performed on Saturday Night Live, with former Vice President Al Gore as host. Gore introduced both performances. Earlier in the show, Phish had appeared in the recurring “Jarret’s Room” sketch series, where Jimmy Fallon plays a college dorm room web-show host. In the sketch, the band was forced to hang out with Jarret and his friends after being involved in a car accident with one of them. Gore appeared in the sketch as one of the students’ professors. All four members of Phish joined in to play a snippet of Contact in the dorm room. Later, Robert Smigel’s TV Funhouse cartoon parodied the ability of Charlie Brown and his Peanuts friends to transform and enliven anything (e.g., a dumpy Christmas tree) by just “waving their arms around a lot.” Phish appeared as the “transformed” version of Schroeder and his friends, who had been playing music themselves. During the cartoon, two pieces of You Enjoy Myself were used as the Peanuts characters danced around.

This impromptu performance took place at the wedding reception of Lisa Narodick and (Dionysian Productions’) Jason Colton. Phish used the instruments of the reception band Brave Combo. Loving Cup was a request of the bride. This was the first known Phish performance in 420 days and the only known performance by all the members of Phish together during the hiatus.

Phish were the musical guests on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

This set was broadcast on the Mark and Brian radio program. Funky Bitch and My Soul were performed as a warm-up before the show went on the air, although the crowd was already in the bar. Jibboo through Heavy Things were aired live on the show (except for Magilla, which was played during a commercial break). Magilla was played for the first time since August 1, 1998 (109 shows). The band briefly jammed on the Jeopardy! theme (with the crowd providing some vocals) during a radio break, although this is not included on any circulating recordings. Bug included a brief DEG tease. There was a humorous question and answer session between the band and audience during one of the commercial breaks. Studio versions of Birds, Bouncing, and Heavy Things were used as intros and outros for the commercials.

This performance, taped after the Mark and Brian program, aired on KACD (103.1) in Los Angeles. There were around twenty fans present for the taping.

This show was broadcast and webcast via KFOG and performed in Studio A. Tickets were won via the KFOG Private Concerts contest during the weeks leading up to the broadcast. The show consisted of three segments of three songs each, with a break in between each segment filled by the on-air announcer. Following the performance, the band participated in a group photo shoot and copies were mailed to the contest winners, who also won signed copies of Farmhouse.

Phish were the musical guests on The Late Show with David Letterman.

This was the second show of the Big Cypress festival. Fish was introduced as 'Soda Jerk' during I Didn’t Know. Split Open and Melt and Disease were unfinished. 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. Love You included band introductions; Fish introduced Page before the song and Mike and Trey afterwards, and the band as “Phish 2000” (see November 2, 1990). Piper contained Bug teases from Page. 2001 began with the signature Hood drum roll. 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).

This was the first show of the Big Cypress festival. Light Up was played for the first time since March 1, 1989 (1,097 shows), included Jibboo teases from Mike, and was unfinished. Corinna was subsequently played for the first time since February 18, 1989 (1,101 shows).

"Carreystock" This private show at Trey’s barn was a tune-up for the summer tour, played for some members of the Phish organization and members of the crew of the Jim Carrey movie Me, Myself and Irene, which was being filmed nearby.

Phish were the musical guests on The Late Show with David Letterman.

This single-set performance, a taping for the PBS television show Sessions at West 54th, was performed in front of roughly 200 fans and industry executives. The show was first broadcast the week of January 9, 1999. Sleep, Driver and Albuquerque were performed acoustic. Trey made jokes about the length of Guyute, remarking that the show could cut to four commercial breaks and the band would still be playing the same song. Taste was played after Trey took the crowd’s requests for the final song. When the show was aired, only Birds, Ghost, and Taste were broadcast, with interviews interspersed between songs.

This single-set performance was part of the 12th annual Bridge School benefit that also included R.E.M., Neil Young, and Barenaked Ladies.

This “under the radar” show was never formally announced by Phish. San Francisco radio station KFOG leaked word of an upcoming “surprise announcement” two weeks before the show, telling Phish fans to tune in on Saturday morning for details. The 11:00 a.m. announcement was that tickets would be sold at noon the vacant Pier 32, prompting a mad rush of fans to the waterfront. Of the several thousand who arrived, roughly four hundred lucky people were able to buy vouchers entitling them to a pair of tickets. Prior to Brian and Robert, Trey said that Fish used to hate the yellow light and that Fish used to have a list of things that he hated, adding that every time they found out something Fish hated, they'd always do it (prompting Page to tease HYHU, which Fish also hates). Fish added that he hated the vowel "ooo" (the crowd responded with "ooo" noises). Trey said the only way to overcome something you hate was to face it head on. Trey then had Chris Kuroda shine a yellow light on Fish for Brian and Robert. Reba did not have the whistling ending. Hood contained a tease of Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man. After the show, some fans were given a poster (later for sale from Phish Dry Goods) and a bumper sticker (saying: “We’ve just come from Phish at the Fillmore. It was nice.”).

Fish introduced the new songs that had been played before Lonesome Cowboy Bill. Fish explained that they didn't really have a name for the song after Ha Ha Ha and Trey added that since it was a Voters For Choice Benefit, they'd give the crowd four choices and let it vote on the title: The Plane, The First Single, Israel, and Spock's Brain. Page subsequently teased the theme from Star Trek as the crowd voted for Spock's with Trey subsequently explaining the song's origin. Prior to Adeline, the crowd sang Happy Birthday to Page.

This “show” was a small, private tune-up for the Lowell show and summer tour.

Phish were the musical guests on The Late Show with David Letterman before their performance at MSG that evening.

The lineup for this bluegrass jam included Mike on banjo and electric bass, Page on bass, Trey on guitar and fiddle, Fish on mandolin, the “Reverend” Jeff Mosier on banjo, Eric Merrill on fiddle, a fan named Abe Stevens on the jaw harp, and a fan named "Jeremy" on banjo. Dueling Banjos was teased after Old Home Place. Mike teased Spanish Moon after John Hardy and Biscuits. Recordings of this bluegrass session circulate, thanks to an alert taper that spotted the jam in progress near the tour bus.

This performance was on Danny Bonaduce's radio show on WLUP 97.9 FM before Phish's concert that evening at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, IL. Sweet Adeline was preceded by a eight second rendition of I Woke Up in Love and followed by a nine second version of Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque. Both I Woke Up and Point Me were sung to the tune of Back in my Hometown and were a bit of a Phish joke on Bonaduce as they were both songs from The Partridge Family. Dog Faced Boy was performed acoustic. This performance might be incomplete as the interview after Dog Faced Boy is cut.

This show was an in-studio performance (with an audience) on the Live X program, broadcast live on WNNX 99.7-FM in Atlanta. This show contains the only known Phish performance of Carefree.

This on-air performance, as part of DJ Dennis Elsas’s daily Workforce Block afternoon show, took place at the “abandoned studio” of WNEW-AM; the FM studio down the hall wasn’t large enough for the band to play in. Band interviews and the Hoist version of Julius were interspersed between the live performances. Highlights of the interview included the announcement that the three-show Beacon Theatre run sold out in 33 minutes; Trey commenting that he had locked up both his skis and his motorcycle for fear of having a pre-tour accident and then ended up breaking his foot by stumbling into a hole on the side of the stage during rehearsals; the band joking about having been approached by Snapple fruit juices for a “Snapple in a Jar” campaign; and discussion of the Disease video (which prompted Dennis to ask them to play the song). At the beginning of Disease, Trey told Mike to “write it down brotha,” which became a running gag throughout the first half of the song. Trey continued repeating the phrase, causing him to laugh through the lyrics of the first verse and humorously fumble the lyrics at the beginning of the second verse.

This show was canceled less than a week before it was scheduled to take place, reportedly due to insufficient ticket sales.

This single-set show was part of the Laguna Seca Daze festival that also included 10,000 Maniacs, Blues Traveler, and The Samples. Trey teased Fire (Ohio Players) in Maze. This was the first time that Silent was played without The Horse. I Didn’t Know was dedicated to the guy stuck on top of the Ferris Wheel and featured Fish on the Madonna Washboard. Antelope contained a Simpsons signal and Possum included a tease of L.A. Woman.

This single-set performance was part of the Laguna Seca Daze festival that also included The Allman Brothers Band, Shawn Colvin, and Blues Traveler. Trey teased Fire (Ohio Players) in Stash and Can't You Hear Me Knocking in YEM.

It is believed that Phish performed two songs at the Boston Music Awards show (during a March 8, 2025 solo acoustic performance at the Boch Center Wang Theatre, Trey mentioned the band played Rift during this performance with Aerosmith sitting directly in fromt of them in the front row). The band won the award for Best Debut Album on a Major Label (for A Picture of Nectar) and was also nominated for Outstanding Rock Band and Rising Star.

Ancient Forests Benefit On this afternoon, Phish appeared at a rally and benefit for Ancient Forests. Neil Young, David Crosby, Carole King, Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart, and Kenny Loggins also performed.

This was the Rift release party. Fish donated his vacuum to the Cafe.

This show was a New Music concert sponsored by WBCN in Boston and included The Levelers, Material Issue, Michael Penn, The Spin Doctors, and a comedy troupe that was booed off stage before their time expired as the impatient crowd clamored for Phish. After Cavern, Trey said that it was his childhood dream to play for the Boston Bruins and this (performing at the Boston Garden) was as close as he would ever get. YEM was preceded by an Over the Rainbow tease by Trey and a Simpsons signal and included a Jean Pierre tease from Trey.

This was an in-studio performance on Hangin’ with MTV. No song was aired in its entirety; all were just short instrumental snippets except for Poor Heart (most of the song aired). Trey and Mike were on the tramps for the YEM snippet, prompting the VJ to ask Trey if he was more inspired by the Dead or Mary Lou Retton. For the record, Trey didn’t answer.

This private performance was a practice session for the Rift-era material. The band taped the session and recordings do circulate. 

Divided Sky was dedicated to Chris Gainty, who was seeing his first show since a car accident had left him in a coma five months earlier. Trey played with a voice box on stage that uttered curses during Sparkle, Esther, and Wilson. Trey teased Auld Lang Syne in Buried Alive. Antelope contained an Earache My Eye tease from Page and Nellie Kane teases from Mike. Weekapaug included Lion Sleeps Tonight teases. Prior to the encore, Trey mentioned the new Minkin painting Mike's mom had given to the band. Per Fish's request, Chris Kuroda subsequently used different lights on the painting. Lawn Boy featured Trey playing The Christmas Song during his solo. This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.

This show, with Aquarium Rescue Unit scheduled to open, was canceled. Some sources indicate that it was due to a problem with the venue’s roof.

For this performance, Trey played a different guitar (not a Languedoc), Mike played his Languedoc bass, Page played a single electric keyboard and Fish a mini drum kit on the porch. I Didn't Know featured Mimi Fishman playing a standard, stand-up, household vacuum. The World is Waiting for the Sunrise and an unknown song were sung and played without the band by Jack and Mary Ellen McConnell on ukuleles (possibly lightly accompanied by Page on keys) prior to Phish's second set. A second unknown song and Bill Bailey featured Jack McConnell joining the band on ukulele and vocals.

This was a free show. YEM and Possum featured I Love Lucy theme teases. YEM also featured an infamous "no gerbils in your bottom" vocal jam. The theme from Rawhide was also quoted in the vocal jam. Buried Alive featured Jamie Janover on didgeridoo. Self, Bitchin' Again, and Crimes of the Mind (the last two Phish debuts) featured The Dude of Life, and Bitchin' Again also featured Sofi Dillof. Self was played for the first time since September 13, 1990 (121 shows). Mike and Fish teased Shoeless Joe before set three and the encore. Trey teased Rhythm-A-Ning in Magilla.

It is believed that the band only performed one song at the BMI New Music Awards, and that it may have been a cappella.

A show was originally scheduled for this date and venue; it appears that it was postponed until Monday, March 25, 1991.

The gig originally planned for this date and venue was rescheduled and took place on Saturday, March 16, 1991.

Phish was the wedding band for the first wedding of Steve Pollak (The Dude of Life). The setlist is incomplete, although according to the groom most of what was played was “just jamming.” We’ve Only Just Begun was (ironically) the wedding song, and was sung by Page.

It's unknown whether this show occurred. The March/April 1990 Phish Update says “call hotline” and Trey’s notes said “off.” If a show occurred this day, the setlist is unknown. The source of this information is phish.com.

This show was a private party for family and friends at Trey's dad's house. The gig consisted of the band set up in the living room playing jazz. Fish played mostly with brushes. This show featured the first known Phish performances of Autumn Leaves, My Favorite Things, On Green Dolphin Street, So What, All Of Me, and Basin Street Blues. Four unknown jazz standards were also performed. Page's dad, Jack McConnell, sat in with the band on vocals for All Of Me and Basin Street Blues. Fish played a trombone solo during I Didn't Know. Page's parents, the band members' siblings, Andrew Fischbeck, and others were in attendance. Between sets, Trey explained his thesis "The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday", commonly known as ”Gamehendge” (without any musical accompaniment), to the McConnells and others while sitting around talking. The source of this setlist and show notes is phish.com.

Phish was scheduled to play an outdoor gig but inclement weather forced cancellation. Several other bands were also on the bill, and Mike was slated to run sound (which he had already set up before the rain canceled the event).

This show was a benefit for the 1988 Vermont Reggae Festival presented by The Vermont Reggae Fest Committee.

This performance was previously part of the setlist file but it was later concluded that this date was a duplicate of 10/14/87.

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

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 setlist for this show is unknown.

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.

Phish shared the bill at this show with The Ventilators.

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.

"Halloween Fest" This would have been Phish’s first Halloween celebration, but they were unable to play. References to the show are made in The Phish Book; for audio comments, dig deep into the Hunt’s show four nights later.

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.

Throughout most of Phish history this was understood to have been the date of the first Phish show. The band believed this to be true as late as 1998, when on October 30 they celebrated their “15th anniversary.” Later research, however, revealed this to be incorrect, and that the correct date of this first show – commonly referred to as the “Thriller” show or a “Halloween Dance” – is December 2, 1983.
