¹ Phish debut; a cappella.
² Phish debut.
This show was night five of Phish's Baker's Dozen run at Madison Square Garden and consisted of a powdered donut theme. Powdered sugar donuts were given to fans arriving at the venue and the show featured the Phish debuts of White Winter Hymnal and Powderfinger. Wilson and My Soul were teased before Cars Trucks Buses. Pebbles and Marbles was played for the first time since August 3, 2014 (106 shows). 1999 was played for the first time since December 31, 1998 (524 shows), its jam exceeded ten minutes, and Fishman teased Mr. Completely in it.
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.
