Set 3Mike's Song -> Whipping Post Jam -> Run Like An Antelope -> Dave's Energy Guide
Comment[1] First known Phish performance.
This list for Set II is likely incomplete, as the only recording that circulates fades in and out at points. The “Whipping Post Jam” fades in after Mike’s Song on the recording that circulates. This “Jam” contained jams reminiscent of The Grateful Dead’s The Other One and Dark Star. It also featured Norwegian Wood teases from Mike, and a jam reminiscent of the early intro to Harry Hood. Antelope fades in after the “Whipping Post Jam” fades out. The complete lists for Sets I (featuring the first known Phish performance of Wild Thing) and II are not known, although Mike has referenced the first set Wild Thing in interviews and in The Phish Book.

Comment[1] First known Phish performance; Ninja Mike on vocals and played with full instrumentation, as opposed to the usual a cappella arrangement.
[2] To "Sue and Debra." Long, reggae-influenced version.
[3] First known Phish performance; unidentified female lead vocalist.

Free Bird was an actual attempt at the song and not an a cappella version, but was performed quite mockingly and not in its entirety. It did, however, feature Ninja Mike on vocals. Happy Birthday was sung to “Sue and Debra” and was a long, reggae-influenced version. Tell Me Something Good featured an unidentified female lead vocalist. Jim Pollock offered vocals for the only known performance of Freeworld. This show featured the first known Phish performances of Free Bird, Tell Me Something Good, and Freeworld.

CommentLittle is known about this show, including the venue and the setlist. Mike’s notes say: “Carl Yaz” and “Marcid Dub”. It’s possible this wasn’t actually a live show but for now, it is presumed to have been one.
