From the stage2 moments
Harry Hood · Trey thanks the crowd

“TREY: Thanks everybody, we had a great time tonight and we really appreciate you, thank you very much.”

transcript: phish.in
Good Times Bad Times · Trey thanks the crew

“TREY: A lot of the guys on our crew are from Vancouver, so thanks you guys for loading us up and for putting on the lighting...guys and gals...thank you.”

transcript: phish.in

This show included the first Phish performance of Midnight on the Highway, which was learned while the band was stopped at the American/Canadian border. Makisupa also referenced the border-crossing incident: “Woke up in the morning, border guard in my bunk, he took his fucking dog on the bus, and he found my dank.” Weekapaug was unfinished.

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.
