performance of this song and the one before it.
← → the songs either
side, played as separate songs. > and

band ran them together rather than stopping between them.
Jam chartMainly distinguished for its inclusion in the evening's festivities, i.e., Trey replacing Fishman on the drum set late in the song to further facilitate the "gag". Nonetheless, the intro jam is extended longer than usual for the modern era and features some great, delightfully synth-y interplay between Trey and Page.Before / afterHarry Hood> Auld Lang SyneGap4SET 3

2022-12-31SatMadison Square GardenNew York, NYJam chartStandard celebratory fare made interesting, as ever, by Trey, who toys with tone, meter, and "2001's" signature theme, amidst the song's backdrop beat. Things get interesting come the six-minute mark, with more by way of full-band improvisation, play offset by groovy Page and marked, come 7:00, by truly unique Trey, his strange (cool) sort of slow-as-melting-snow descending pattern (kind of like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star") inciting more synth-driven jamming.Before / afterSay It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S. >> Kill Devil FallsGap5SET 2

2021-10-28ThuMGM Grand Garden ArenaLas Vegas, NVHighly rated 90 · ListenJam chartKicking off what would become the instant classic "numbers" show, Phish unleashes the version of "2001" we've been waiting for. A 17 minute true representation of the power of "2001". The intro alone is 7 minutes (longer than some 3.0 versions). This take is Phish as tight as the entrance to the MGM. It's a full sledgehammer of groove that is impossible not to dance to. Moves into "1999" to form 30 of the best opening minutes to Phish you will find.Before / after> 1999Gap6SET 1
2021-10-19TueMatthew Knight ArenaEugene, ORJam chartOne big groove that doesn't do a whole lot until about the 9 minute mark when Trey starts to get after it. BUT THEN for the first time in the middle of the second refrain, a 3RD JAM emerges for the first time ever!

Jam chartThis "2001" is not your average dance party. Phish pull out all the toys... the Marimba, THX sound-effects, drills, and tons of delays teleport the 3500 seat Met Theater into the center of the universe. One of the most unique versions in history gets wayyyy out there.

Jam chartA quintessential version of "2001" that kicks off an all-timer of a second set. No "Moby Dick" teases needed, Trey and Mike are killer in the second jam.
