We’re less than two weeks away from the start of Phish’s first five-show New Year’s run at the DCU Center in Worcester. Outside of 1998’s four-show stand at MSG, Phish New Year’s runs usually contain at least a few bust outs – a holiday gift of sorts from the band. What’s interesting is that there actually aren’t many tunes the group has played more than ten times in their career that they haven’t performed at least once since Hampton ’09.

To give you a visual on what Phish cover and originals have yet to be performed in the current era, we’ve put together a list of songs the quartet has played at least ten times in their career – and at least once since 1994 – but have yet to be dusted off since Hampton. Many of these tunes are Fishman songs or a capella tunes; we’ve marked those compositions in italics. Here’s what’s left listed by the last year the songs made it into a Phish setlist…
Last Played 2004: Terrapin, Friday,
Last Played 2003: Carolina, Magilla, Beauty Of My Dreams, Dogs Stole Things, Dog Log, Life On Mars?, Daniel Saw The Stone,
Last Played 2000: The Curtain, I’m Blue, I’m Lonesome, Inlaw Josie Wales,
Last Played 1999: Sweet Adeline, La Grange, Cracklin’ Rosie, Whipping Post, If I Only Had a Brain, Purple Rain, Foreplay/Longtime
