From the stage1 moment
Rhombus Narration · Likely longer narration begins when recording stars after it is already underway, telling the story how "we" climb the Rhombus, look toward the clouds, which are splitting apart, and sing...

“[Tape begins as narration is already underway] TREY: up… We look up at the Rhombus. We begin to climb up a rope up the Rhombus until we're standing on top of this Rhombus looking up at the sky, the sky is cloudy, there's clouds …”

transcript: phish.in

This setlist is incomplete. Ya Mar contained a tease of The Christmas Song by Trey. Weekapaug included a tease of Life's Been Good by Mike. The opening act was The Modern Beatniks.

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.
