From the stage1 moment
Fly Famous Mockingbird · For a great crowd clearly following the story's arc, this version includes the shaking, trembling, transforming mountain that is Icculus for the first time and an extended monologue from the god instructing the Famous Mockingbird to fly to the highest tower of the evil King Wilson's castle

“TREY: I personally know a few people who are here tonight who don't know what's going on right now so let me convey this to everybody. Picture if you will, here we are in this vast green forest laid out behind us, a huge …”

transcript: phish.in

Fish’s drum solo before Foam was due to a broken bass string. Forbin’s featured guest Jamie Janover performing on didgeridoo. Bowie contained Mockingbird, Squirming Coil, and Chameleon teases and Possum contained a Wipe Out tease. Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. Fish performed this show wearing a tight blue and red superhero costume, complete with cape and hood that had been made for him. Skratch Baxter was the opening act.

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.
