¹ Phish debut.

From the stage1 moment
Fly Famous Mockingbird · Short but dense narration contains important details of the Col's trek to find Icculus in the mountain, seeking help to steal back the most important book in the world, the Helping Friendly Book

“TREY: Ok, some of you don't look like you really know what's going on right now [chuckles] so obviously i've got to explain it to you. Picture if you will, Colonel Forbin, aging retired military man, who has passed through the …”

transcript: phish.in

Wipe Out was a Phish debut. Possum contained a Yield Not to Temptation tease and Magilla contained a Blue Monk tease from Page.

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.
