From the stage2 moments
Harpua · Unique version does not contain any reference to Gamehendge, Poster Nutbag, or even the dog Harpua. Here, Trey recalls a typical Saturday morning in the fourth grade interrputed by messages from the television show "Lost In Space" that lead him to save a pentagram and a vision of his future, including Tom Marshall singing "500 Miles."

“TREY: Welcome everyone to this very festive three night stand here. We're very happy to be here. I will say one thing before I get started, that I specifically like about playing in this room. Some of you probably know that …”

transcript: phish.in
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) · Tom Marshall included an A Day in the Life quote referencing Big Phil, a fan who was in attendance that night.
transcript: phish.in

Fish sat in on drums for three songs in the second set, including Self. Phish had performed earlier in the evening at Madison Square Garden.

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.
