¹ Trey on acoustic guitar.
² Vocal jam; unfinished.
“TREY: So... as you're standing here on this uh, day before New Year's Eve here in Maine. First of all, let me thank you all for standing out in the cold air for so long. Sorry it took you so long to get in. Luckily, now to fight …”
Bowie contained Dream On and Dave’s Energy Guide jams as well as a Woody Woodpecker theme and Dream On teases from Trey. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Trey teased Call to the Post at the end of PYITE. Weekapaug contained a vocal jam and was unfinished. Slave was played in response to a chant from the front row.
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.
