Where all this comes from
None of the data on this site is mine. Two archives do the actual work.
Every track length, every set time, every tag — Bustout, Jam Chart, Sign, Tease — and every scrap of stage banter on this site comes from phish.in, a free, openly documented archive of live Phish audio. The ♫ next to a song links straight to that track on phish.in, where you can hear it.
phish.in is run by one person and given away. Setlist Lizard would be a list of song titles without it. If you use this site at all, go use theirs — phish.in — and if you can, support it.
The setlist itself — song order, segue marks, the footnotes under each show — comes from Phish.net and the volunteers who type it in, usually while the show is still going on. Their API is what lets this page update during a set.
The usual questions
What is this?
A personal project. I like looking at Phish data and wanted to see how far I could get building a page around it. It is not affiliated with the band, Phish.net, or phish.in, and nobody is paying for anything here.
Why do some songs have a ♫ and others don't?
The ♫ appears only when phish.in actually has that track posted. Recordings usually land a day or two after the show — sometimes longer, sometimes never for a given night. Rather than guess at a URL that would 404, the symbol simply doesn't appear until the audio is really there.
Why did a song's length change?
Before the recording posts, lengths are estimates derived from the setlist — useful for the shape of a night, wrong in the details. Once phish.in has the show, the real recorded durations replace them. That's why a set can read 95 minutes during the show and 82 minutes two days later. The later number is the true one.
Something here is wrong.
Depends what. Bad or missing audio or track data should go to the phish.in Discord in the #errata channel — that's where the maintainer wants it, and fixing it there fixes it for everyone, not just me. Wrong setlist data belongs on Phish.net. If the site itself is broken — a chart that won't draw, a number that makes no sense — that one's mine.
Where's the banter from older shows?
phish.in's transcriptions are still working backwards through the archive, so older nights are thinner than recent ones for now. As they fill in, this site picks them up on its next build — nothing to do but wait.
What's "sandwich" and "fest"?
A sandwich is a song that returns later in the same set with other songs played in between — Song > other stuff > Song. A fest is one song re-jammed over and over across a night, the way 8/17/97 became Tweezerfest. Neither is a reprise; a reprise is its own song.
