YEM contained Stayin' Alive and Fuego teases. It's Ice, Cream, and Harry Hood included an ice cream man on a cowbell. This show featured the Phish debuts of Cream (Prince and the New Power Generation) and Sincere. The second setbreak featured songs focused on "ice," "cream," and "ice cream." The ice cream man returned during Harry Hood while dancing milk cartons appeared on stage with the cartons eventually being discarded. The dancers ended up exiting through a giant "it's ice cream" freezer. During 2001, ice cream men brought out giant ice cream props from the freezer, Trey took over on drums, and Fish descended into the freezer. A fake Fish then rose during Auld Lang Syne with a giant popsicle (a bomb pop). During Tweezer, dancers from past New Year's Eve gags exited the freezer, sang the song's lyrics in multiple languages, and at times performed the Meatstick dance. Trey teased Norwegian Wood in Harry Hood, Meatstick in Tweezer, and Rock On (David Essex) and Sneakin' Sally Thru the Alley in Piper. The encore featured the band in ice cream man outfits. Spock's Brain was performed for the first time since July 14, 2019 (238 shows). A giant milk carton with a "Missing: Spock's Brain" notice reappeared (from earlier in the evening) above the band for Spock's Brain and Tweezer Reprise.
