| Date | Song | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1999-12-30 | Big Cypress, FL | 10:07 | A wonderful compact jam that starts with some dark energy but soon enough taps into classic '99 sounds and soars into the stratosphere. Welcome to Big Cypress. | |
| 1999-12-30 | Big Cypress, FL | 11:15 | The wild Big Cypress version showcases some cool staccato playing (see also "Plinko") in the middle and an unusual jamming style, while still staying pretty close to the normal theme. | |
| 1999-12-30 | Big Cypress, FL | 6:44 | Though the band starts in a metal chug similar to other versions in the era, Mike is in a much more exploratory mood than normal, bringing the band briefly into a major key, and later initiating several interesting rhythmic exchanges. | |
| 1999-12-30 | Big Cypress, FL | 16:50 | A stunning, gorgeous jam. | |
| 1999-12-30 | Big Cypress, FL | 15:27 | "Immigrant Song" teasing early on sets the tone for this dark, angry wall of sound. A single jam segment, but it's heavy duty stuff, filled with spacey effects and a driving, seemingly accelerating Mike and Fish-led groove. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 9:23 | Great lead work from Trey and some nice fills from Fishman in this one from Big Cypress. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 20:01 | Multi-section, improvisational groove-based jam, including typically dark "SOAM" grooving, funky upbeat major mode jamming, and a -> to "Catapult." Vastly different from 7/15/99. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 1:17 | -> in from an excellent "SOAM." | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 23:41 | Laid back but joyful millennial celebratory groove. This is feel good music. Unfinished with -> to "Llama." | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 15:47 | A very different "Gin" begins with extended vocal jamming through 9:25, then shifts to an enchanting groove. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 13:15 | A tranquil ambient groove emerges with delay loops and an eerie Page solo on the Fender-Rhodes. -> to "Prince Caspian." | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 30:23 | This wide-ranging, 30-minute monster from Cypress starts off in an excellent bluesy groove, before quieting down to a percussive, groovy, organ-led cowbell movement with anthemic riffing from Trey. The jam then coasts along at a low simmer, with very quiet, introspective playing and massive bass bombs, before exploding into an epic, earth-shattering firestorm of a conclusion at 26:00. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 22:22 | Crowd-assisted CHEESECAKE VJ. (No B&D.) | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 20:14 | This is one of the center-piece jams of one of Phish's most storied and highly-lauded sets. This one quickly hits a slow groovier jam. With a good foundation set by Gordon and Fishman, Trey and Page have ample room to explore several gorgeous and melodic passages. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 36:27 | The masterpiece of the '99-'00 style "Sands" from the early morning at Big Cypress. A dark groove develops with all sorts of eerie effects added to the mix. Trey's lead work is scintillating and gives the jam an ominous feel as it builds to a devilish peak and then transitions to the hypnotic second movement replete with looped minimalist elements and "Quadrophonic Toppling" quotes. A must-hear jam from the band's ambient era. "My Soul" tease from Mike. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 15:11 | The longest "Type I" version. If you like a slow, really stretched out "Slave," this one is for you. But the peak is nothing remarkable, in fact it sort of collapses under its own weight. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 20:01 | -> in from "Drowned." A patient, sparse, and well-textured groove-based jam. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 19:03 | New millennium Swamp Worm (it was played about 4:00 AM on 1/1/00) opens with all guns blazing before settling down with a Mike and Page led groove including "Bug" teases from Page. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 35:03 | Launches into phenomenally intense improv almost from the start as it embarks on an at-times-breathtaking journey. Eventually grows dissonant before briefly regaining its feel-good vibe. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 13:40 | 35th song in the second set is the infamous "Hood" fake out. Breakdown at 5:40 is sicknasty and Trey sounds as fresh as he did in 1983. Second jam features a reggae filth groove. | |
| 1999-12-31 | Big Cypress, FL | 8:44 | Closes out the Big Cypress festival with a short ambient outro. |
