From the stage6 moments
The Squirming Coil · Page reassures the crowd they'll be right back

“PAGE: We will be right back, don't go away.”

transcript: phish.in
Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S. · Trey thanks the crowd

“TREY: Thank you so much, happy new year everyone, thank you for being here with us. Be safe, we love you, what a fun night, four nights, thank you, thank you, thank you. Travel safe, we'll see you for a big 2025.”

transcript: phish.in
Grind · Trey apologizes for the delay

“TREY: You guys hear that? What is that? Play that, say that again. Sorry, sorry, this is taking a really long time. This better be good, this better be good after all that. You guys are like - arms are crossed, ready to rock out.”

transcript: phish.in
Icculus · Narration

“TREY: We'll do this one. That's a little ditty from last year. Wait a minute. Well, it was a great 2025 everyone. Thank you all for being here. 2025, 2024. It's been an incredible year. It's over and we just want to say to you …”

Icculus · The narration centered on Trey explaining that the omission of the song the previous year was a test.
transcript: phish.in
Tweezer Reprise · Trey thanks the crowd

“TREY: Thanks everybody, thank you so much.”

transcript: phish.in

Trey teased In Memory of Elizabeth Reed during Stash. Throughout the show, a series of white coils turned while suspened over the stage. My Friend, My Friend contained Get Ready teases from Page and Trey, Set Your Soul Free teases from Trey, and did not contain the "Myfe" ending. The band came out for the third set in three matching blue jumpsuits and a blue donut mumu. During Pillow Jets, the coils started to descend and screens lit up behind them and throughout MSG. A fractured face came down and dancers (conjurors of thunder) came out with yellow fabric. The face came together as the countdown to midnight ended, after which the dancers removed their robes and took up glowing accessories. The dancers sang during Pillow Jets and What's Going Through Your Mind, which contained Blaze On, Bouncing Around The Room, Martian Monster, Wolfman's Brother, The Lizards, and Halley's Comet quotes. Life Saving Gun briefly featured Mike on a mini-keyboard. The narration in Icculus centered on Trey explaining that the omission of the song the previous year was a test. The dancers returned during Tweezer Reprise to throw beach balls into the crowd.

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.
