A jam is when a band stops playing the written song and just makes music up together, live, for a long time. This page is a list of all the Phish jams we have saved. Some we have already pulled apart to study (the green ones), and that is now 17 of the 32 we have. The page shows which jams still need pulling apart and which still need their instruments split into separate tracks first.

The Phish Jam Library
Every jam we have on disk, sorted by how far down the analysis pipeline it has come. The goal is an ixi-style close reading for each one. Right now we have many jams and one finished reading. This page is the map from here to the rest.
Every jam with a stem set on disk now has a published ixi reading, including the two thin sets (Back on the Train, Plasma) that were held back earlier. Those two are read from the lanes demucs actually produced, and each page states which players it could not read.
The deep vault · 15 unstemmed, 12 with usable audio
The historic jams, 1994 through 2011, plus two recent ones with no stems yet. Full mixes on disk. Each needs demucs stem separation before any analysis can start.
Production queue, in order
All 17 stemmed jams have a published ixi page, each route verified live at HTTP 200. The 2025 West Coast run is fully read, Golden Age through Plasma.
The deep vault · audited 2026-07-19. Of the 15 unstemmed jams, 12 have usable source audio: 11 of the 1994 to 2011 classics carry a clean instrumental.mp3 (264 minutes in total) and No Men in No Man's Land carries a 15:16 jam.mp3. Three have no usable audio at all: 1998-04-03 Nassau, 2003-02-28 Nassau Tweezer and 2010-06-26 Columbia hold only a narrated final_v2.mp3, which is the finished video soundtrack with voiceover over the music. The blocker is disk, twice over. demucs IS installed at ~/.venvs/demucs/bin/demucs, but torch never finishes importing with the Data volume at 98% (27 GB free), and a 6-stem WAV split of those 264 minutes needs about 15.6 GB against 7.8 GB free on the T7 Shield. Free space first, then split one jam per pass.
