[About the HPB]
 

 
       
HPB DETAILS:
The Helping Phriendly Book is the common name for the Phish.Net setlist archive, the collected lists of songs played at Phish concerts from 1983 through today. The HPB is brought to you by the work and contributions of countless fans at absolutely no charge. Please note that while the HPB continues to be the first source of recent setlists, as well as an important online reference, the Mockingbird Foundation has published the most complete and accurate setlist database available anywhere (with research assistance from the band's official archives) in their book The Phish Companion. For definitive setlist data, please refer to that document. Thanks, and happy listening!

Copyright, Credits, and History: Read about who has worked on the HPB over the years, and see your name if you've contributed!
ZZYZX's Phish Stats: since the HPB search capabilities are rather limited, we encourage you to use ZZYZX's Phish Stats. Please try the variety of powerful tools he offers before emailing me in search of a setlist. Thanks.
