Note: For the second year in a row Phish has broken with their musical tradition (dating to 1994 and their full rendition of the Beatles White Album as a 'musical costume' during the second set, followed by the Who's Quadrophenia in '95 and perhaps their finest accomplishment The Talking Heads Remain In Ligh in '96) of covering an album from classic rock history in its entirety as the entire second set of a 3 set concert.  Last year fans were greatly disappointed when instead of following tradition they broke the social contract and debuted their new album (of largely awful material) Fuego.  

This year the band loosely based their sound around the 1964 Disneyland album Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House as reported on Phish.net:</sup>

^{"Prior to the start of Set II, the stage was cleared of all band equipment, and a graveyard set was brought out.  At the start of the set, smoke filled the stage, and zombies appeared behind the gate.  When the gate opened, a large haunted house with the band inside was brought to the front of the stage.  The sound effects and narration were played on the PA, while an undead narrator would emerge from a crypt inscribed with "ESTHER" prior to each song for the introduction.  At the end of The Fuse, the sides of the house came down while sounds of an explosion were heard, and the band was revealed inside, dressed in white tuxedoes and with zombie face paint.  Several zombies came to the front of the stage and danced during Martian Monster.  At the conclusion of the set, the band members came down from the Haunted House riser, slowly walked to the front of the stage, and took bows, along with the entire cast of zombies.  All songs during the second set were debuts, with the titles taken from the first ten tracks of Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House.  Is This What You Wanted (Leonard Cohen) was a Phish debut.  Page performed Frankenstein on keytar, which was played for the first time since July 1, 2012 (100 shows)."}
