🕰️ The '94 night — a Madison Square Garden Tweezerfest nodding to 5/7/94 at the Bomb Factory: Tweezer surfacing six times before the Reprise encore.

Set 2 wove Tweezer in and out of Down with Disease, Sample in a Jar, Catapult and Cavern, Bomb Factory-style; the Purple Rain encore completed the '94 homage. Wolfman's Brother ended mid-song in Set 1 after a front-of-house power outage.

Part of the five-night '92–'96 retrospective: one night per year, played in period.

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.
