Merry Pranksters Jam > Frankenstein > Merry Pranksters Jam · Set 2

The second set featured a remarkable jam after Harry Hood ended and before Forbin’s began, as well as an appearance by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Only the intro of Fly Famous Mockingbird was played. The Merry Pranksters Jam contained an Over the Rainbow tease from Trey, an If I Only Had a Brain tease, and a Spam Song quote. Frankenstein was performed in the middle of the Merry Pranksters Jam with narration continuing at the same time.

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.
