This ad hoc grouping was billed as The Ritz Power Jam. Red House and Yonder Wall featured Dave Tronzo on slide guitar. Spanish Moon featured Trey on guitar, vocals, and keyboards. All Along the Watchtower also saw Dave Matthews, Leroi Moore and Boyd Tinsley join the action while Trey, Dave, and Popper traded vocals. The Gloria encore, sung by Popper, featured Trey on guitar and Mike on bass. Phish had performed earlier in the evening at the Roseland Ballroom.
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.
