¹ Trey sang verses through megaphone.
“TREY: Thanks everybody. Okay we're gonna do one more song here and then we gotta go. It's called The Avocado Song...Okay, here we go.”
The soundcheck treated those who arrived early to the first-ever Guyute, which was an unfinished, raw version of the song that eventually made it to the stage fifteen months later. Pungee contained a Camel Walk quote and the Dude of Life Medley contained Trials and Tribulations, Crimes of the Mind, Lucy in the Subway, Family Picture, Ordinary Day, Dahlia, Francella, and T.V. Show quotes and closed with a Free Bird tease. The Train Medley in the soundcheck included quotes from Folsom Prison Blues, Mystery Train, One After 909, and Love in Vain. Trey and Mike teased Possum before Esther. Antelope included Heartbreaker and Brother jams. Fireworks from nearby Three Rivers Stadium coincided with Antelope and Mound. Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone. Prior to Purple Rain, Fish found out that one of the crew members tried to play a prank on him by turning his vacuum cleaner inside out. Fish introduced Peter Schall and Brad Sands with Page teasing HYHU.
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.
