Tweezer tonight, no Tweezer Reprise. The Reprise came 5 shows later, July 12, 1991 at The Colonial Theatre.

Fly Famous Mockingbird · Another micronarration, this one features the shaking and quaking, transforming mountain that becomes Icculus, who will call the Famous Mockingbird for help to steal back the Helping Friendly Book

“TREY: Come with us now to… Gamehendge, far away from here. Green fields, mountains off in the distance. And, you've got Colonel Forbin climbing up the mountain up there in the distance. As he climbs up the mountain, everything …”

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.
