From the stage3 moments
Send in the Clowns · The band add some hijinx to their New Years gag

“PAGE: Hello? Hey, Trey? TREY: What's up, Page? PAGE: Hey, these microphones are not on, are they? TREY: Nope, the microphones are not on. Our headset mics are turned off. No one in the garden can hear a single word we say. …”

Sand · Trey gets stuck on a floating platform over the stage

“TREY: Wow. Well, I guess if I'm about to fall to my death, I might as well tell you guys all how much I love you - so much! Thank you for all the good times. At least this is gonna be one of the great rock and roll deaths that …”

You Enjoy Myself · Trey explains that, due to equipment malfunction, this is now the encore

“TREY: Thanks everybody, thank you. Okay, we're gonna do something very strange here. But that's cool, that's fine. We just walked off, we're back on, this is the encore, and then all four of us are gonna watch you guys leave and …”

transcript: phish.in

Axilla featured the Axilla II ending and was followed by banter from all four band members continuing the pan story from the previous night’s show and ending with a mention of pan flute extraordinaire Zamfir. Richard Glasgow (a.k.a. Dickie Scotland) then came onstage appearing as Zamfir, holding both a pan flute and a pan. The third set opened with the Phish debut of Send in the Clowns, sung a cappella and with lyrics changed to Send in the Clones. For First Tube through Tweezer Reprise, each band member performed on separate moving platforms hoisted above the stage as dancers dressed as their clones performed onstage and provided additional vocals throughout the set and encore. Trey's platform became stuck for the majority of the set and he had to be rescued after Tweezer Reprise. Given that the band (Trey) could not leave the stage after You Enjoy Myself, there was no encore break and Tweezer Reprise was announced as the start of the encore. Rescue Squad was performed Trey solo (singing and playing Fish's drum set) while he was waiting to return to the stage.

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.
