This show was night seven of Phish's Baker's Dozen run at Madison Square Garden and consisted of a cinnamon donut theme. Donuts with a cinnamon glaze were given to fans arriving at the venue. Approximately ten minutes before lights, a voice came over the PA, reproducing some of the phrases spoken at Woodstock over the PA concerning "brown acid," only substituting "donuts" for acid: ". . .to get back to the warning that I received, you may take it with how many, however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown donuts that are circulating around us are not specifically too good. It's suggested that you do stay from the brown donuts. Of course, it's your own trip, so be my guest, but please be advised that there is a warning on that one, ok? Do not eat the brown donuts. Lewis Pittman, Lewis Pittman, your brother is at the WaterWheel table."  I Am the Walrus included Shipwreck, The Unsafe Bridge, The Birds, Your Pet Cat, Martian Monster, and Runnin' with the Devil quotes. Dirt and There is a Mountain were teased in Harry Hood. Cinnamon Girl was last performed on July 31, 1997 (631 shows).

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.
