14 LESSER KNOWN FEATURES OF PHISH.NET

  1. Our website is almost entirely written in cutting-edge HTML5. When using it in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, you’ll get the most complete visual experience.
  2. current.phish.net always displays the most current setlist, regardless of date or time, even while a show is in progress, in the simplest, fastest interface possible.
  3. We are always adding fun activities on our Just for Fun page. Have you tried our random setlist generator? Have you solved the “101 Phish Songs” poster? Have you created your own dream setlist?
  4. We have a powerful API that allows you to embed Phish.net data into your website. Check out our setlists demo, our forum demo, and our other other demos if you get a chance. We’ll be releasing a new, improved API in the next few days.
  5. The domain phi.sh, our Twitter-friendly URL shortner, is a great short-cut for setlists. By typing phi.sh/YYMMDD, you can jump to any setlist.
  6. You can exchange private messages with other users of Phish.net.
  7. At the bottom of many pages through the site, you can run stats, most of which feature integration with ZZYZX’s Phish Stats. You can view statsby song, by tour, by venue, by day of the month, by month, or even shows that feature a debut.
  8. You can embed all sorts of data - including live setlists - into comments throughout the site.
  9. We have RSS throughout the site: our news feed, our blog, our setlists, and even each thread has its own feed!
  10. You can import your seedfile from any website, or directly fromPhantasyTour, to track your shows on phish.net, which can be accessed via our API for use in Phish-related applications.
  11. forum.phish.net, our discussion board, is always active, has a slew of regulars who keep the place interesting.
  12. You can still subscribe to our decades-old Phish-News mailing list to be kept in the loop via email.
  13. We have a “chat room” style discussion board, for mid-show chit-chat.
  14. Phish.net is an all-volunteer project of The Mockingbird Foundation, and it takes a team of people to manage. We are constantly updating setlists, FAQ items, and song histories. The Phish.net team is made up of a site team, a setlist team, and an advisory working group.
