¹ Fish on trombone.
² Trey sang verses through megaphone.
³ Odd variations on the "Bag it/tag it" lyrics, an atypical jam, and a Simpsons signal.
⁴ Without microphones.
“TREY: The music's playing here now, and everybody's standing out there, and we're all standing in the same room. I can feel all of our hearts beating. If you kind of picture this in your mind, the incredible-ness of all of these …”
I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone, dedicated Llama to Chelsea Clinton and, with huge balloon and flowers in hand, dedicated Amazing Grace to his sister on her 30th birthday. Amazing Grace was performed without microphones. Reba included odd variations on the "Bag it/tag it" lyrics, an atypical jam, and a Simpsons signal. Tweezer contained Gumbo teases from Mike and Page and a Fire (Ohio Players) tease from Trey. The intro to Big Ball Jam also contained a quick Gumbo tease from Mike. Page teased the theme from Speed Racer in YEM. The vocal jam in YEM included a brief piece of the traditional Oh My Darling, Clementine.
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.
