Notes: My buddy John O. told me this source didn't circulate for the midnight set. Happy Birthday.
I don't think this rig ran during the 12.31.99 early show (if so I can't find tapes), but definitely on 12.30.99 in the FOB hat. Let me know if there are any serious errors - I spot checked when cutting up and it still sounds great 10 years later!

**** - (11:35pm) Set began with Father Time on stage pedalling away at
a stationary bike, powering a large clock, the sound of the
gears are heard over the PA. At approximately 11:50pm Father
Time collapsed from exhaustion and the clock stops. At this
time a fan boat was heard from a set of speakers in the back
corner of the concert field and a large fan boat entered the
field from halfway back, stage right. After crossing 1/4th of
the field the sides and top of the fan boat were blown off to
reveal the band riding in the hot dog from the 1994 NYE show.
The hotdog crossed the concert field and the approached the
stage as the band threw lei's and other goodies into the crowd.
As the hot dog neared the stage, an instrumental version of
"Meatstick" came over the PA. Once the hotdog reached the stage,
the band disembarked carrying several meatsticks which were fed
to Father Time, reviving him so that the clock could continue
moving towards midnight.
^ - instrumental version with the band picking up the song from a
pre-recorded version played over the PA for the last 45 seconds of
the year
^^ - with vocal/instrumental jam as Trey, Mike and Page sang the notes
as they played them
^^^ - recorded live for ABC TV's Millennium coverage (aired between
3:15 and 3:30am EST); Trey instructed the crowd to chant the word
"Cheesecake" rather than clap and cheer at the close of the song
in an attempt to confuse the TV viewers (similar to the "secret
language" additions for the 1992 NYE show); Trey introduced the
band for the recorded footage and offered a message of peace and
love for the world about the importance of the
left lane of the highway being the passing lane
% - with "Cheesecake" vocal jam
%% - Trey solo acoustic
%%% - from "The Siket Disc" with Mike holding up a voice box repeating
the phrase "Quadrophonic Toppling"
%%%% - with Jon on vacuum; Jon introduced Page before the song and Mike
and Trey afterwards, and the band as being Phish 2000
$ - no encore; post-show music over the PA was the Beatles "Here Comes
the Sun"
