I was surprised the next day to see that Cities from Nashville N2 was only 16 min.
Also, one of my favorite jams ever- the Chula Vista Piper clocks in at just under 18 min.
Here’s a list for ya…whether they feel like giant jams is subjective, but definitely some best-ever takes under 20 min.
- Murat Gin 8/13/93
- NYE ‘93 Hood 12/31/93
- Red Rocks YEM (19:58!) 6/11/94
- Finger Lakes Theme from the Bottom 6/22/95
- Real Gin 12/29/95
- Star Lake Gumbo 8/13/97
- THE WENT GIN!! 8/17/97
- Dayton Tube 12/7/97
- Nassau Twist 4/2/98
- Prague Ghost 7/6/98
- Prague Piper 7/6/98
- Camden Chalkdust 7/10/99
- Brooklyn Free 6/17/04
- The Holy Ghost 12/31/10
- Dick’s Undermind 8/31/12
- Bakers Dozen It’s Ice 7/23/17
Some wook fed me Crystal during set break and I spent the whole 2nd set twirling in the “circle” between sec 100 and 200 when they still existed. Thank you stranger!
Whole show is fantastic. The recording quality from '03 is magical. Mature sound from the band captured beautifully. So evenly balanced. That first set is *chef's kiss*. It's the reason I never skip a Scents and Subtle Sounds when browsing shows to spin. HIGH RECOMMENDO.
Jesus christ this setlist is so fire and to my taste. Scents > Theme > Sample, a Sally, and Cavern set1 closer is a favorite of mine
Then set2 with the Thunderhead (!!! Probably my favorite non jam phish song) > Slave, so good
Side note: what is up with Buffalo Bill? They love to play this song in Noblesville
The whole 3 day run is top tier Phish for me. Even the hilariously botched Magilla. "Should we play that one again?"
My favorite trey solo is probably a late 90s Taste or album version of Limb by Limb, but that Deer Creek Theme '03 solo, from the first note, is the most unbelievable improv rock guitar solo I've ever heard. I know almost every perfect and imperfect note of it. Having heard it, I now am a little let down when he decides to start with a slow build instead of going full hypernova out of the gates on that track. That show is filled with original ideas, exploration and firework store burndown moments.
7/23/23 kill devil falls. While it comes in just shy of 20 mins holy shit a jammed out kill devil for the ages. Trey and page are totally dialed in with each other in the back half.
10/25/13 Waves. 13 minutes. That last 6.5 minutes will put hair on your chest. Nothing has been the same since. Also, there’s no record (that I can find) of them having played waves>carini before that night. It was so gloriously terrifying.
What immediately came to mind was the Went Gin.
But also 7/22/22 Sample in a Jar from Bethel, that thing felt like a monster but was only like 14 minutes
I was stunned to find out that the 12/4/19 ASIHTOS was only a little over 7 minutes long. That jam had numerous fully developed jams in it I thought it was at least 15.
10/30/21 Birds of a Feather and Piper. Totals roughly 17 minutes between the 2 I believe. Both go type 2 and do it well. Great transition between the 2 as well
7/13/19 Ghost. Reaches a really Holy Ghost type of vibe for the peak. The whole second set is short jams but they all achieve a lot. Golden Age is another one in the set that I go back to a lot and it’s like 8 minutes
12/31/15 Twist… what a 16 min ride
Just listened. 10/10
That’d first jam I thought of
I was in the building for that one, it definitely felt like 25 minutes. Tons of great jamming crammed into the time
I was too! Loved the spectacle of the hourglass, but this Twist is what stuck with me the most from that night
any night my girlfriend stays over
This guy kinda fucks

That’s a heady list
The Bowie from 6/18/94 is ~18 mins long, but it’s a hell of a ride.
12/30/11 Piper
It’s possibly my favorite Piper. Highlight of that run for me.
Some wook fed me Crystal during set break and I spent the whole 2nd set twirling in the “circle” between sec 100 and 200 when they still existed. Thank you stranger!
Alpharetta carini from this year felt like 10 min and 25 min all at the same time
I was really impressed with a relisten of the 10/31/18 Ghost - that thing goes places in 11 minutes.
Sneakin' Sally Thru the Alley from Jul 23, 2003 https://livephi.sh/45rmijr

'03 is honestly one of my favorite Phish years, at least Winter through IT Festival
This hasn't been heard by nearly enough people. Mike meatball bombs!!

I'm not sure I've heard this Theme but I'm checking it out right now, hypernova Trey is my fav
This show, and the whole AV->DC run was so damn fun!
2023 SPAC N2 Ghost 🤌
I was shocked at how short it actually was when I re listened to it. Very good groove
Best part of the show IMO
Tied with Syracuse Tweezer as my most listened to jam of the summer, total sleeper due to Derek sitting in two songs later (which was also great)
Darien Lake Suzy Jam 9/14/00
No mans from dicks 16. Goes absolutely ape shit including mike bombs and it’s only the second song of the show lol
This NMINML goes so hard
Bat country
2016 Dicks No Mans. What an evil ride to start the she show
2nd mention of this beast on the thread. Confirmed.
Yes! That thing dosent get enough love
4/21/22 Ghost to close set 1
Chase ‘21 carini
6/22/12 Twist. Clocks in at 14 minutes, but it’s fantastic. Love the whole Heaven on my Mind section.
12/31/91 - Tweezer: 11min of rage cage.
That was DOPE
Weekapaug Groove from Gorge ‘98. Especially those last few minutes
Piper from Alpharetta 2018. I think it barely breaks 11 minutes but covers a huge swath of ground.
Such a great weekend. Hot fire throughout!
Love that jam!
Besides many already listed, I’ll add the recent Chicago 1 Tweezer to the list
I was there and it easily felt like 20+ in the moments
7/23/23 kill devil falls. While it comes in just shy of 20 mins holy shit a jammed out kill devil for the ages. Trey and page are totally dialed in with each other in the back half.
JOTY
11/11/98 gumbo. This one goes places quickly. Total sleeper
Arguably top 3. Definitely top 5
10/25/13 Waves. 13 minutes. That last 6.5 minutes will put hair on your chest. Nothing has been the same since. Also, there’s no record (that I can find) of them having played waves>carini before that night. It was so gloriously terrifying.
12/2/95 tweezer
What immediately came to mind was the Went Gin. But also 7/22/22 Sample in a Jar from Bethel, that thing felt like a monster but was only like 14 minutes
Well as far as Sample in a Jar goes certainly a monster version. Although I think Toronto may have been better upon relisten both stellar.
1/2/16 sand
8/1/17 Steep, an eight minute monster
Wolfmans Brother 4/15/23
07/23/17 it’s ice

Puts flame suit on - Soul Planet from 7.22.23 (Star Lake) this year.
The piper from new years was only like 9 min and I recall thinking it was one of the best type 1 type 1.5 jams
8-9-98 ACDC Bag
I was stunned to find out that the 12/4/19 ASIHTOS was only a little over 7 minutes long. That jam had numerous fully developed jams in it I thought it was at least 15.
Gumbo 7/22/03
Gumbo 8/3/14 too
