My Dream Phish Sets

Categories: Music

The following are “Dream Sets” that I would love to see Phish play, all of which have themes. Most of them are built using songs already written or covered by Phish, although a few of the sets are heavy on new songs Phish has not played – I’ve marked those songs with “(New)” at the end.

I started this list before 2010, some have been performed such as the 10/30/2021 Animals set.
