From bluegrass bookends (My Old Home Place > Uncle Pen) and a cappella closers to a bonkers Split Open and Melt opener and the rare, exploratory “digital delay” Weekapaug, we unpack the setlist craft—highlighting the sly Demand > Set II Melt callback to Hoist’s car-crash epilogue. We contrast Fall ’95’s audience-connected era (secret language, Big Ball Jam, on-tour chess) with the steamrolling “Phish Destroys America” dominance of Fall ’97, preview a future 12/07/95 vs 12/07/97 Dayton debate, and revel in Reba’s jet-fueled tempos. We also revisit Hoist as a signal-rich trove: Demand (human agency, “demand,” evolution) and Julius (Caesar cipher nods, time dilation, Orange Julius Gen X lore) join the canon. Then, worlds collide: the growing alignment between Phish’s Sphere runs and the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, plus a look back at Tom Marshall’s “phish loving bitcoiner” acknowledgment that helped spark this very show. We tease ideas for Vegas side events and celebrate how these scenes continue to intersect—on-chain and on tour.<br /><br />Setlist highlights we discuss from 12/07/1995 (Niagara Falls Convention Center): My Old Home Place opener, Demand in Set I, Split Open and Melt opening Set II, a type II Weekapaug “digital delay jam,” a cappella endings (Hello My Baby, Amazing Grace), and an Uncle Pen encore.</p>
