I usually listen to one set at a time, it’s a little more do-able for me and then the next time I want to listen to Phish I just put on the second set of the show I had previously been listening to
I work from home but got wife and little ones so I use headphones. Prior to having a family and had to go into the office nobody cared if I wore headphones as long as I was not in a meeting etc. I write code for a living so lots of head down working involved.
Unless I’m in a specific mood I usually hit the “shows on this date” section of relisten, then pick one usually based on year, then choose a song from the set list and go from there. Otherwise I just hear 1st set openers, which is fun too.
I’m all over the map, which is why I love Phish radio in my car. The Live Phish app is pretty awesome for the huge library. I often just pick single songs I want…like “hey, I’m in the mood for the Island Tour Roses”. Sometimes I’ll continue with the set, sometimes not.
When I have more time, I usually pick one set because I never have time for a full show. I actually like picking a random set where I don’t have the set list memorized, because a huge part of the live experience with Phish is the wonder and excitement about “what are they going to play”….so if I’m listening to a show where I don’t have the set list memorized, it captures a tiny piece of that.
Uh i push play before I go to work or the grocery or for a walk or to the gym and I listen and what I don’t finish in one session i simply start back later. There’s absolutely no reason to deprive myself of a show just because I only have 20 minutes of time available.
I continually listen to phish shows from beginning to end. I simply take a break whenever I want. Every single show that they play, I listen to it.
i really like the youtube clips that phish posts. theyre usually the highlights and its really easy to keep tabs on where they are and what they're doing. so i watch those when they pop up and try and snag the set openers if i can. really amazing what they post on youtube. big fan
I often listen while I workout. Can reliably get through one set, and I’ll either start set two if I’m going slow/have a longer workout that day, or I switch to other tunes and save set 2 for the next day
I like to listen to one set at a time with headphones while I'm reading in bed. Oftentimes I'll half fall asleep and it can get pretty groovy in that weird kind of lucid dreaming state. Especially with a nice trippy Type II jam.
You'll appreciate this short McSweeney's piece that was posted just after Coventry: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/bathtub-gin-by-phish
After he wrote that I emailed the author through the email address listed on the article (that used to be a thing, once upon a time) and I directed him to the nugs.net Free Stash where an AUD of that Radio City show was available for download, and he thanked me in reply, saying "You did a good thing today."
LivePhish app. I pick a tour and listen from beginning to end whenever I have time. I am a teacher and have at least 1 hour every morning in my classroom solo. I put my headphones on and go. Honestly if for some reason I can't listen in the AM my whole day is thrown off.
I’ve listened to every show since 2019 or so. I used to just listen to random shows and still think 97/98/99 is my favorite era but I now listen in sequence. I’m currently at Vegas last fall.
I listen during a 2hr kayak trip I take once or twice a week. I skip a few songs and can make it through most of a show. Sometimes I’ll listen to the encore while I’m packing up after the trip. It helps to have music to keep a steady rhythm and I love phish.

I almost always skip any song without a jam. I also usually go right into the jam in any song with a long composed section. So basically, just the jams.
I usually listen in the car on the way to and from work, when I’m at work, when I’m working out, when I’m cooking. I pretty much use every opportunity to listen. It’s really interesting to fall asleep with a show playing. It makes some interesting dreams!

Wait.. there are bands other than phish??😊😏
I know! I was surprised too when I found out! 😛
Live phish app, I'll play a show here and there until I finish it. Right now I'm loving that live bait #19.
Head phones while working
Does your job allow for headphones? Mine does not, but I sneak them in during tour season because life is short

Running!
I press fast fwd and listen to the shows at 4x. Sounds a little jumbled but I take away the highlights at least.
Mike says Yes to “too many notes” chip tune phish

Put the cd in my car. I have a <3 mile commute, so it takes awhile.

SiriusXM in car. 30 minute commute. Full shows (YouTube) or Live Bait while hanging on deck or during long projects (like cleaning the garage).
YouTube
I usually listen by set throughout the day while doing errands.
I still listen to shows all the way through, just so it over the course of a few days
siriusxm phish radio is cool!
I listen while I stock groceries at kroger lol

I listen while I exercise. If I can't make time for a show or two worth of exercise a week I have bigger problems than not listening to music.

Amazing question. Guess I wouldn’t as much. I mean, 3 whole hours. Wow
One disc at a time my phriend

Now that I work from home, I love streaming a video of the show Otherwise I would just listen in pieces
Nothing more fun than grocery shopping on a summer afternoon in austin when my brain is deep in the second set in the centrum on a cold autumn night.
