I am pretty sure that "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" is on one of their studio
albums.  I've heard them do it in concert, and I've also heard them go
into "Avinu Malkenu" during the course of one of their free-form jams.
I'm pretty sure they've done "Al Kol Ele" at some point as well.  I have a
few friends with hundreds of bootlegs and videos; I'll ask them if they've
got others documented.

(PS Said "bootlegs" are not illegal, as Phish takes the Grateful-Dead
approach of allowing fans to set up and tape their shows on an ongoing
basis.)
