From the stage1 moment
Fly Famous Mockingbird · Col Forbin finds himself on a familiar mountain, crumbling this time to reveal the face of David Byrne himself wearing the big suit, doing the dance he does, causing rocks to fall down around Col Forbin's head. The Famous Mockingbird comes in the distance, but it is a different Famous Mockingbird, the evil Halloween spirit Famous Mockingbird, who pecks out Col Forbin's eyes. The horrible Famous Mockinbird flies away with his eyeballs, leaving his body and the Helping Friendly Book floating in space, because "this is Halloween"

“TREY: Welcome Everybody to the Omni Halloween Extravaganza. Glad you could make it... You know it was a Halloween night just like this, many many years ago one night, when Colonel Forbin, who is this song i'm singing about, …”

transcript: phish.in

Trey teased Dave's Energy Guide in DWD. The Mockingbird narration included a reference to Talking Heads’ David Byrne, who appeared in the mountain as the face of Icculus. As Trey told the story, Byrne threw Colonel Forbin off the mountain and into the arms of the “evil” Famous Mockingbird. The second set "musical costume" was Talking Heads' Remain in Light. All of the Remain in Light songs were Phish debuts; the set featured Karl Perazzo on percussion, Dave Grippo on saxophone, and Gary Gazaway on trumpet (except for Born Under Punches, which featured Gazaway on valve trombone). Perazzo also played during the entire third set. Jesus Just Left Chicago, Suzy Greenberg, and Frankenstein also featured Grippo and Gazaway. At the end of Houses in Motion (which featured Trey teasing Tweezer), an armchair was brought out to the center of the stage and Mike sat in it to sing Seen and Not Seen. While he sang, Karl Perazzo drummed and Trey played bass. After Overload (which featured Fish singing in front of the band and not on drums), a bizarre on-stage demonstration (including Fish on vacuum) closed the set. The third set opened with a Feel Like a Stranger tease. Suzy included Once in a Lifetime teases from Mike and a Born Under Punches tease from Page. The soundcheck's Overload was performed with horns and briefly featured Fish on vacuum. This show was officially released as Live Phish 15 .

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.
