From the stage1 moment
I Didn't Know · Trey introduced a freshly clean-shaven Fish before his trombone solo, saying "ladies and gentlemen, recovering from a horrible facial accident, would you please welcome Tommy Dorsey."
transcript: phish.in

Buried Alive, Stash, and possibly other parts of the first set included Cameron McKinney sitting in on “rhythm guitar (inaudible ukelele)." Trey introduced a freshly clean-shaven Fish before his trombone solo during I Didn't Know, saying "ladies and gentlemen, recovering from a horrible facial accident, would you please welcome Tommy Dorsey."  The end of Weekapaug included a vocal jam. Trey dedicated his solo in Lawn Boy to Amy Skelton. Lively Up Yourself was teased in the Cold as Ice intro and outro and before Brain itself. Brain subsequently included an All Fall Down signal in the middle of Fish's vacuum solo.

On the recordingStash Jamcharts

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.
