This show featured more fun stage banter, as Trey referred to Fish as “the hometown boy” and Fish commented about embarrassing himself in front of his entire class. Prior to Alumni Blues, Trey referenced that day’s Syracuse University graduation events and dedicated the song to the graduates in the audience. Prior to YEM, Trey commented that his mother was in the audience, “all the way from Ireland,” and dedicated the song to her. Possum included Fishin' Hole (aka The Andy Griffith Show theme) teases. The Bowie hi-hat intro included SOAM, ‘A’ Train, and Fluffhead teases. Suzy contained a brief Flintstones theme tease from Trey.

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.
