Farmhouse featured Trey on acoustic guitar, and the scene was of the outside of the Barn at night, with aurorae overhead. Before The Horse, Trey announced it was his favorite part of the night, and that Mike would now "invert," while Mike turned his coat inside out to a Fish drumroll. Among the visuals for Julius was a large, dragon-like creature rendered in neon lines, which swam behind the band at the song's peak. Frankenstein featured Page on keytar. My Friend, My Friend did not feature the "myfe" ending. The scene at the end of Wading in the Velvet Sea was a giant wall of concert photos.

The visuals for Sample In a Jar went inside a temple filled with stained glass windows, explored it, then exited before the song ended and the temple crumbled. Mound was played for the first time since September 2, 2023 (113 shows). Tela was played for the first time since December 31, 2023 (100 shows). Mike teased Seven Below in Sand. During I Didn't Know, Trey introduced Fish as "the 500 Foot-Tall Man" and "the Thunder from Down Under," then as "Moses Brown, Moses Heaps, and Moses DeWitt" after the song. I Saw It Again then featured Fish on vacuum and Trey on drums. After the song, Trey gave Fish the same introductions, and added that he was "sucking for you! We saw him again!"

PHISH, THURSDAY 04/30/2026

SPHERE

Las Vegas, NV

SET 1: The Wedge, NICU, Halfway to the Moon, Leaves, 555, Dirt, Punch You in the Eye, Golgi Apparatus

SET 2: A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing > A Wave of Hope > Prince Caspian > Lonely Trip, Runaway Jim, Sneakin' Sally Thru the Alley, Drift While You're Sleeping

ENCORE: The Sloth[1], The Squirming Coil

[1] Lyrics changed to "Make it a triple; Fee, Sloth and Punch; Won't get our nipple."

As the show began, the view was from inside a cabin with windows on all four walls. The room began to spin, and accompanied by recorded sound effects, the visuals eventually blurred into multicolored streaks, finally resolving into a turntable. Once the needle dropped on the record, Trey began The Wedge. Among the visuals for Halfway to the Moon was the Colosseum, but built out of port-a-potties. During Golgi Apparatus, a camerman came on stage for close-ups of each band member as they played, projecting the image as a kaleidoscope across the dome. The scene for Runaway Jim began by looking out at Las Vegas and the Sphere. Turning upside down and zooming in on a "Phish Hotel," the view passed through the peephole of the front door and into a surreal museum and library filled with odd sculptures, flying bowling pins, and toilets. After passing through several rooms, the view reached a door which opened and closed to reveal a variety of scenes, until finally backing out of the museum and returning to the Las Vegas strip. The Sloth contained alternate lyrics referencing the three songs (Fee, The Sloth, and Punch You In the Eye) which reference nipple slicing, all of which had been played during the Sphere run, and during none of which did Trey appear to have sung the traditional "nipple" lyrics. For the outro to The Squirming Coil, the view was a drive-in theater with video of the band playing as the movie. When the song reached the final chorus, suddenly only four cars remained. As each band member stopped playing and walked off stage, a corresponding car drove away.
