¹ Simpsons signal in intro.

² Beginning featured Trey on acoustic guitar. No "Myfe" lyric.

³ Fish on washboard.

Trey fell through a hole in the stage and tore the ligaments in his ankle during the soundcheck and performed the majority of the show seated on a stool. The Esther intro contained a Simpsons signal. My Friend started with Trey on acoustic guitar and did not contain its usual "Myfe" ending, instead concluding with a Rockin' Back Inside My Heart (Julee Cruise) jam with Trey changing "Rockin' Back" to "Runnin' Back." Ginseng featured Fish on washboard.

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.
