From the stage4 moments
Ha Ha Ha · Trey chided Fish saying, "You should know this song, Fish, because you wrote this song."

Party Time · Trey said that he loved that song so much, that the time had come for the debut of Party Time, another Fish original that he loves even more.
transcript: phish.in
Tube · Trey said that he couldn't hear what song a group of fans were shouting for, saying that it sounded like "Snoop." Trey then joked, "You said 'Snoop'? He's right back here, Snoop Dogg, everyone!" Finally, he started Tube, saying that he thought that was the song they were requesting.

Alaska · Trey offered some kind words for his guitar tech, Brian Brown, adding, "No Brian, no guitar."

Before Ha Ha Ha, Trey chided Fish saying, “You should know this song, Fish, because you wrote this song.” After Ha Ha Ha, Trey said that he loved that song so much, that the time had come for the debut of Party Time, another Fish original that he loves even more. Before Tube, Trey said that he couldn’t hear what song a group of fans were shouting for, saying that it sounded like “Snoop.”  Trey then joked, “You said ‘Snoop’? He’s right back here, Snoop Dogg, everyone!” Finally, he started Tube, saying that he thought that was the song they were requesting. After Alaska, Trey offered some kind words for his guitar tech, Brian Brown, adding, “No Brian, no guitar.”

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.
