Phish.net notes:

The backdrop for Evolve was a truck driving across America animated as a giant, elaborate diorama presented by hands animated in the same style. Treat teased Tweezer Reprise in Wolfman's Brother which provided visuals of the scene becoming a journey through an MC Escher-esque landscape of surreal "rooms" that ranged from a cozy fireplace to a giant cat peering in through the window, ultimately emerging in Las Vegas. Page teased the Theme from Speed Racer in Foam. The perspective for Theme from the Bottom shifted to the earth beneath a forest, a scene made up of tiny dots which glowed and pulsed together. As the jam for Theme progressed, furniture and rooms began to appear in the forest, with the scene ultimately morphing into an image of the band. Rift culmiated in a recreation of David Welker's cover art for the album. Trey teased Over the Rainbow in Scents and Sublte Sounds. The scene for Split Open and Melt began with giant, sneaker-clad legs running in different directions while stepping on piles of goo on the ground, sticking to their shoes. This became a world with both aquatic and surface aspects, with stars and fish, plant and animal life, some of whom developed goo bubbles and started to rise. The entire scene ultimately melted back into a puddle with a confused face. You Enjoy Myself saw the return of the licking dog (from April 19, 2024) during the vocal jam, followed by a jam against an ocean of dogs swimming in sudsy water with goggles on, and finally wiener dogs in hot dog costumes. Also Sprach Zarathustra continued the hot dog theme by flying through a warehouse floor full of hot dogs to a hot dog rocket ship, which blasted into an outerspace littered with donuts and other snack foods. The ship ultimately found a planet with a hot dog population worshiping a giant monolith-like hot dog with a volcano erupting in the distance. Space Oddity was played for the first time since July 19, 2022 (168 shows). Harry Hood culminated in a virtual fireworks display.
