From the stage6 moments
Reba · The show began with a humorous announcement from Trey that he felt "overdressed" during National Nudist Week.
transcript: phish.in
Fly Famous Mockingbird · After the mountain itself becomes Icculus and Forbin reaches the top, Trey tells the familiar story of Icculus calling on his friend the Famous Mockingbird to help Col. Forbin save the lizards by stealing back the Helping Friendly Book from the castle of the evil King Wilson.

“TREY: As we stand here beneath these beautiful mountains in the distance, you can picture Colonel Forbin, the mountain in the distance, the green fields of Gamehendge spreading out all around behind him, and he's gotta go up and …”

Big Black Furry Creature from Mars · Trey introduced the Giant Country Horns during the song
transcript: phish.in

This show featured The Giant Country Horns for all of the second set, all of the third set except for Esther, Chalk Dust, and Hood, and for the encore. The show began with a humorous announcement from Trey that he felt “overdressed” during National Nudist Week. My Sweet One included a tease of the Bonanza theme and Magilla included a Flintstones  theme tease. I Didn't Know, in which Fish was introduced as "Hank," and Touch Me featured Fish on trombone. Possum included Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals as well as a Dave’s Energy Guide tease, while Weekapaug included more DEG teases. Trey introduced the Giant Country Horns at the end of Antelope and during BBFCFM. There was a long wait during HYHU for Fish, who was apparently in the bathroom. Hood included full-band Jeopardy! theme teases. This show ran much longer than scheduled (at one point, when Trey noted that they should wind up the show, a fan urged the band to “fuck the clock”), prompting Trey to beg the crowd to leave in a timely and orderly fashion after the encore.

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.
