From the stage2 moments
Harpua · Possibly the greatest "Harpua" ever performed, this far ranging version features Larry and Les from Primus, among other very special guests, as Jimmy, bored and anxious, decides to go on a trip across the desert to Las Vegas to lay down all his savings on the roulette table, a journey which includes some campfire yodelling with Poster Nutbag and will require him to perform an Elvis song before he can enter. Meanwhile, Harpua has followed their scent and sees Poster near the roulette table. The ensuing fight requires the evacuation of the casino, but Poster is dead?

“[When the band returns for the encore, they are joined by Primus bassist Les Claypool and guitarist Larry Lelonde] LES: [At the end of the second verse where the transition into the story generally occurs] Now, the Wildwood …”

2001 included Super Bad teases. The YEM vocal jam was based on donuts. The jam out of Simple contained Blister in the Sun quotes. Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones. The opening segment of Harpua was performed in a normal 4/4 time signature as opposed to its usual 7/4 signature. Wildwood Weed (a Phish debut with Les Claypool on vocals) and parts of Harpua featured Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde of Primus. I Want To Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart also made its Phish debut at this show and featured the Yodeling Cowgirls on vocals, Claypool, LaLonde, and John McEuen. Happy Trails was teased in Harpua before and after Sweetheart. Suspicious Minds featured four Elvis impersonators on vocals with Fish joining in at the end. Suzy Greenberg featured Claypool, LaLonde, McEuen, the Elvis impersonators, The Yodeling Cowgirls dancing on stage, and actor Courtney Gains on Trey’s percussion rack. One of the Elvis impersonators led a Susie Q jam at the end of Suzy Greenberg. The soundcheck's Funky Bitch/Dog Log mashup featured Dog Log lyrics sung over Funky Bitch's music. This show was officially released as Phish Vegas 96.

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.
