Our site went live a week before summer tour started in 2015. In September 2022 we've pulled all the data analytics from the site's history and have been going through it all. It's been fun dissecting all the numbers so we're sharing a lot of what we've pulled, cause what self-respecting Phish nerd doesn't like diving into numbers and arguing with the results?

To be clear, our site contains only the jam tracks with the songs removed, which explains the difference in timing between what you would see on Live Phish to what you see on Phish Just Jams. If you're looking for a 20 min Tweezer, choose the 15+ min filter since Disease the song takes about 5 min before getting to the jam. For info on full shows the place to go is obviously the wonderful resource that is phish.net.

This data can be interpreted many ways and is only reflective of what versions we have in our database of jams. Most played version does not equal best version by any stretch. Factors like the number of playlists a version appears on can increase the likelihood it gets played, for instance. And the site does shuffle through tracks, unless a user selects the track to play now or play next.

Ghost is one of the rare Phish songs that was a jam vehicle nearly right from the start and has never had a period where it wasn't capable of delivering a tour highlight at any moment. If you were to name one song that exemplified and defined the transition into the funk era, it would be Ghost. It's impossible to think of where Phish's evolution over time would have gone without Ghost.

So dig in and let me know on Twitter if there is anything else you'd like to see and I'll see about getting them into posts on upcoming songs. You can always use the site and the filters to narrow your search at any time. Enjoy!
