¹ Trey screamed "POSSUM!" intro the microphone during the pause.
² Simpsons signal.
³ Phish debut; Fish on Bag-Vac.
⁴ Without microphones.
Tey teased How High the Moon before Suzy. My Friend was dedicated to “Steve E.” who drove eighteen hours to the show. Jokingly, Trey subsequently called the bouncers over to throw him out! Before Maze, Page read an announcement from management asking fans not to smoke in the building. Many people shouted out requests during the pause in Divided Sky, prompting Trey to scream “POSSUM!” into the microphone. The second set started with Page again requesting that fans not smoke, while Trey and Mike launched into a few bars of Smoke on the Water, which was then introduced by Trey as Cat Scratch Fever. NICU included a Simpsons signal. Page played the first few notes of HYHU before the first Cold As Ice. This show marked the Phish debut of Baby Lemonade and, along with it, the first appearance of Fish’s Bag-Vac. The end of Baby Lemonade featured a tease of On Broadway. Sanity and the theme to All Things Considered were teased before All Things Reconsidered. Lots of humor ensued over Mike’s use of a cardboard cutout of Kathleen Turner from the movie V.I. Warshawski , which started out on top of his bass rig and ended up in front of him, giving the appearance of his head on her body. Sanity was played for the first time since May 28, 1989 (342 shows). Memories and Carolina were performed without microphones.
It’s so stupendous, living in this tube
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.
