From the stage1 moment
I Didn't Know · Trey said "that was a special request for our friend Steve Dolley" and jokingly quoted Hello, Dolly!
transcript: phish.in

I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone and contained a Hands Across America quote from Trey. It's possible that Anarchy may have been played after I Didn't Know, as Trey called for it, but there is a cut in the recording. After the cut, Trey said "that was a special request for our friend Steve Dolley" and jokingly quoted Hello, Dolly! This show marked the first known performance of Contact; Contact lyrics were also sung during Dear Mrs. Reagan. 'A' Train contained London Bridge Is Falling Down and Brady Bunch theme teases. Whipping Post began as Antelope. The actual date of this show may have been June 16, 1988.

Bustouts and debuts are Phish.net’s gap on the row. Version rankings and “hot this year” are counted over the shows in THIS archive — not all of history until the backfill finishes — and lengths are phish.in’s timings. Rarities use Phish.net’s all-time play count; long odds are shows played since the song’s debut divided by its plays (see the rarity index on LizardStats).

Straight off the phish.in timings, longest first. What this can’t tell you yet is whether any of these is a big version — that needs each song’s own history to compare against, which is the next thing to pull in. After that: phish.in publishes a jam-start marker per track, so the composed section and the improvisation can be separated and measured properly. That’s what belongs in this tube.
