From the stage2 moments
Fly Famous Mockingbird · The narration deviates instead from the adventures of Gamehenge to a more pedestrian event that happened to Trey earlier that day as he walked through the empty amphitheater. Namely, it was a bird pooping on his head that inspired this particular bust-out...

“TREY: Thanks everybody. I'm not much of a talker these days, then when I used to be and I wouldn't shut up after fifteen minutes at a time. I will say this… When we stay at Alpine Valley here, least a couple of us, sometimes all …”

transcript: phish.in
Fly Famous Mockingbird · Trey acknowledged that this was the band's 17th show at Alpine and that the following day would be the 19th anniversary of their first appearance (August 10, 1996).
transcript: phish.in

Mockingbird featured narration about Trey walking around Alpine Valley and having a bird shit on him, inspiring him to play the song that night. He also acknowledged that this was the band's 17th show at Alpine and that the following day would be the 19th anniversary of their first appearance (August 10, 1996). Frankenstein featured Page on keytar.

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.
