From the stage3 moments
Fly Famous Mockingbird · From atop the JEMP truck: "Yes, and thirty years later, he's still flying around up there, and he hasn't landed yet. The Famous Mockingbird! There he goes."

“TREY: Yes, and thirty years later, he's still flying around up there, and he hasn't landed yet. The Famous Mockingbird! There he goes.”

Icculus · The 30th anniversary version of Icculus, and the last version as of March 2018, is as much a celebration of the band's career as it is a celebration of the Book. Trey says that they continue to play so that people can continue to get the message, and while the Helping Friendly Book is indeed fictional, the message that the band has to spread is clearly worth thirty years and more.

“TREY: Man, it is so amazing to be standing out here in the middle of this whole thing with you guys. I'm just trying to take it all in. As we've been standing over on one end for thirty years. You know, just trying to get our …”

Grind · The "days lived" stated by the band referenced how old they would be when they returned for their 60th anniversary.
transcript: phish.in

After the conclusion of the first set, Trey and Page carried a keyboard-shaped cake out to the front of the stage (with a giant two-dimensional mountain behind it, this created a tableau of the cover of Phish's Colorado '88 release), and proceeded to slice and serve cake in honor of their 30th anniversary to fans near the front of the stage. After the cake was served, a video was played showing Fish collecting various props from the band's previous New Year's Eve concerts and driving a replica of the band's "JEMP" truck down to New York City. The truck from the video appeared in Madison Square Garden and was moved to the center of the floor. All of the songs played during both setbreaks were from the year 1983. The band performed the second set standing on top of the truck, using a stripped-down stage setup including hockey sticks for mic stands. Melt contained a DEG tease from Trey. During Grind, the "days lived" stated by the band referenced how old they would be when they returned for their 60th anniversary. During the encore break, a video montage of photographs and film from throughout Phish's history and previous New Year's Eve concerts was shown. After the encore, a video image was shown of a "Save the Date" card for Phish's 60th anniversary show (on December 31, 2043) with each band member digitally aged.

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.
