Guelah contained a Simpsons signal and a Lively Up Yourself tease from Mike. Trey dedicated Stash to "Mary." The ending of Fluffhead, all of The Horse, and the beginning of My Friend featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Bowie contained a Random Note signal in the intro, a Sailor's Hornpipe tease from Trey, and Dueling Banjos and Jeopardy! theme teases from Page. In an attempt to request AC/DC Bag at the start of the second set, roughly twenty people in front donned shopping bags on their heads with the word AC/DC written on them. My Friend contained Careful with That Axe, Eugene (Pink Floyd) quotes. YEM contained a beehive (from the alternate "Water Your Team In A Beehive I'm A-sent You" lyrics) reference from Trey and a Low Rider tease from Page. Mike quoted You Sexy Thing in the YEM vocal jam. The HYHU outro contained Lengthwise teases from Mike. Danny Boy was quoted before Carolina.
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.
