¹ Fish on Bag-Vac.
² Simpsons signal.
Tweezer contained a tease from Trey of Pictures of Matchstick Men. The vocal jam in YEM was based loosely on the song Rock On (David Essex) and was followed by a Bag-Vac solo from Fish. BBFCFM included a We're Off to See the Wizard tease and was dedicated to hockey player Brett Hull, who, at that time, played for the St. Louis Blues. After Cracklin’ Rosie, Trey remarked that the entire Blues hockey team was guest listed for the show and that he was glad to see one of them, (actually Trey’s friend and Aftermath co-author) Roger Holloway, in attendance. Suzy contained a Sailor's Hornpipe tease from Trey and a Simpsons signal.
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.
