Slip Stitch and Pass is a live album by Phish. It was released on October 28, 1997 by Elektra Records and features nine tracks from March 1, 1997, at the Markthalle Club in Hamburg, Germany, during Phish's European Tour.

Three of the album's nine songs are cover songs ("Cities" from the Talking Heads, "Jesus Just Left Chicago" from ZZ Top, and the traditional a cappella standard "Hello My Baby"). During the final jam of "Mike's Song", the band quotes Pink Floyd's Careful with That Axe, Eugene and elements and lyrics from the Doors song The End.

The jam on "Wolfman's Brother" is said to have helped spark the band's deep foray into funk music, which would dominate the group's improvisation over the next several years.

Renowned graphic artist Storm Thorgersen designed the album cover.
