¹ Referenced Kid Rock's sidekick Joe C.
² Flubbed lyrics for the final verse, ending with Trey proclaiming: "She died. Dead."
³ Narration referenced the band's upcoming hiatus.
“TREY: Let me start by taking this opportunity, a couple of little, uh, things I just wanna say that, um… We've got about six gigs left on this tour and, um, the four of us were talking backstage and I wanna take this, sort of, …”
Oysterhead (Trey, Stewart Copeland, and Les Claypool) performed the Owner of the World sandwich while the combined Frog Brigade and Oysterhead performed Tomorrow Never Knows. Phish had played earlier in the evening at Thomas & Mack Center. This was also a combined celebration, as both Les and Trey share a September 30th birthday.
It’s so stupendous, living in this tube
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.
