This on-air performance, as part of DJ Dennis Elsas’s daily Workforce Block afternoon show, took place at the “abandoned studio” of WNEW-AM; the FM studio down the hall wasn’t large enough for the band to play in. Band interviews and the Hoist version of Julius were interspersed between the live performances. Highlights of the interview included the announcement that the three-show Beacon Theatre run sold out in 33 minutes; Trey commenting that he had locked up both his skis and his motorcycle for fear of having a pre-tour accident and then ended up breaking his foot by stumbling into a hole on the side of the stage during rehearsals; the band joking about having been approached by Snapple fruit juices for a “Snapple in a Jar” campaign; and discussion of the Disease video (which prompted Dennis to ask them to play the song). At the beginning of Disease, Trey told Mike to “write it down brotha,” which became a running gag throughout the first half of the song. Trey continued repeating the phrase, causing him to laugh through the lyrics of the first verse and humorously fumble the lyrics at the beginning of the second verse.

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.
