² Phish debut.

³ Lengthy pause near the end before band finished song.

From the stage2 moments
Harpua · To celebrate Father's Day, this rare show opener was light on the story history, but heavy of the family theme. Each of the band members' fathers came out and alternatingly played 'Dad' during the conversation with Jimmy. The final line, "You're God damned cat died." is a great conclusion to this silly, but touching, retelling of the tale.

“TREY: Welcome! You know, we had to start with this song because this is the very town where IT all went down. This is the town where it all went down for your 31st birthday. [Trey plays "Happy Birthday"] Oh, and your mom is …”

Thunder Road · Trey dedicated the song to Clarence Clemons, who had passed away a day earlier.
transcript: phish.in

Harpua included a Happy Birthday tease from Trey and featured all of the band's fathers voicing the part of Jimmy's father. For the third Father's Day in a row, Brother was performed and featured all of the band's children on stage and subsequent introductions. The theme to Leave it to Beaver was teased by Mike prior to DWD. This show marked the Phish debut of Thunder Road, which was dedicated by Trey to Clarence Clemons (who had passed away a day earlier). Near the end of Sand, there was a lengthy pause before the band finished the song.

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.
