This was an in-studio performance on Hangin’ with MTV . No song was aired in its entirety; all were just short instrumental snippets except for Poor Heart (most of the song aired). Trey and Mike were on the tramps for the YEM snippet, prompting the VJ to ask Trey if he was more inspired by the Dead or Mary Lou Retton. For the record, Trey didn’t answer.
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).
No verified lengths yet — phish.in’s recording lands the morning after, and the list fills in then.
