This performance was on the final night of New Orleans’ annual Mardi Gras celebration. Page teased Manteca at the end of Fee. The Horse and the beginning of My Friend featured Trey on acoustic guitar. During I Didn't Know, Trey introduced Fish as "Henrietta, Tubbs, Showboat Gertrude, The Little Friar, The Little Beast Boy... Madonna's Sister" and Fish played the Madonna washboard while Trey and Mike loaded Mardi Gras beads on his head. Page teased the theme from Speed Racer in Lizards. During YEM, Phish sang "Water your team in a beehive I'm a-sent you" alternate lyrics. It’s My Life (Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes), Loup Garou (Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes) and Choo Choo Ch’ Boogie (Louis Jordan) were all Phish debuts and featured Barnes on washboard, harp, and lead vocals. Amazing Grace was performed without microphones.
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.
