It'll get a WAY bigger crowd response, though... So there's that.

Dot net is taking forever to load, any stat geeks know the shortest first set?

If we're talking song-wise, its 8/9/04 followed by 11/17/97 iirc

oh, and there was also 7/10/98, with a 4 song first set.  But that one gets an asterisk in the record books.

Yeah i don't think we can count that one....

also lol @ phish.net crashing

a couple other 5 song first sets include 6/10/00 Tokyo and 6/29/00 Holmdel.

ah, yes!  finally got Phish.net to load, I thought 8/9/04 was a 4-song first set.  I forgot they did Loving Cup after Walls there.  I'm prettttttttttttty sure there was a 4-song first set in 2.0 though.  Pretttttty sure.  But not totally.

:crazy: 

So it has been there the whole time. Why have they gone away from this?

Yup, said the same.

1/3/03 and 7/9/03 also have a 5-song first set.  Most of these sets seem to have a Bathtub Gin too...

Raspberry Beret encore.
