This show featured the first known Phish performances of The Fishin' Hole (aka The Andy Griffith Show theme), Green Onions, Cinnamon Girl, and American Woman. Dinner and a Movie contained alternate lyrics in reference to the venue: "Let's go out to Gallagher's and see a movie." Halley's Comet featured Richard Wright on vocals and Green Onions through American Woman featured Trey on drums and Fish on trombone. Hold Your Head Up was played in its entirety (for the first and only known time) with vocals and was performed for the first time since August 29, 1987 (135 shows). An unknown jazz tune was played after Peaches.
It’s so stupendous, living in this tube
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).
No verified lengths yet — phish.in’s recording lands the morning after, and the list fills in then.
