Phish broke out two long-shelved tunes: the first Destiny Unbound since November 15, 1991 (800 shows) and the first Soul Shakedown Party since February 20, 1997 (272 shows). Trey teased Mr. Completely in Bathtub Gin. Back on the Train and Tweezer contained San-Ho-Zay teases from Trey. Tweezer also included a Cars Trucks Buses tease from Page and a Do You Feel Like We Do tease. Trey teased The Horse prior to Round Room. This show was officially released on CD as Live Phish 02.28.03.
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.
