Notes: This 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. Theme from the Bottom
 contained a brief What's the Use? tease from Trey. The jam out of
 Simple, as well as the beginning of My Soul, included Odd Couple
 theme teases. HalleyÂ’s Comet included On Your Way Down teases.
 Cities included an After Midnight tease, as well as Trey altering
 the lyrics to reference Â“Fishman sleeping in the daytime.Â” 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
 DJÂ’d under pseudonyms at a festival tent in what has become known
 as the Â“Disco Set.Â”
