For an example, see 11/30/19. Starting with Meat, Trey introduced songs akin to a really bad DJ, followed by, "HIt it Page," at which point he'd play the THX effect on his keyboard, presumably a preprogrammed effect they found. The best version of this is before I Didn't Know (2/7) - ThreadSky

I saw this and had to go double check that this was indeed 5 years ago.... damn.
Super fun show. The thx gag was great, made me feel old explaining it to my sister in law though

Finally a show I was at! I remember finding this gag *hilarious*.

where Trey massively overexplains the fact that Jon plays the vacuum in that song. "We're going to feature a very strange instrument in this next number.... It features a funny little item that you might have in your home... but we're going to use it as an instrument." (3/7)

Trey keeps cracking himself up and they retire the joke then, although the THX effect keeps happening along with multiple performances of the ending of Plasma, played the previous night.

For a different example, let's go to 11/30/94, Phish's final time playing Olympia. (4/7)

In this show the second set's Run Like an Antelope somehow drops into My Sweet One. This MSO has a very long pause before the final "name," complete with the band fake snoring; the pause was so long that they fell asleep. (5/7)

This goes back into the Antelope jam but once again it doesn't actually finish. Instead it segues into the final (to date) Fixin' to Die.

They try to bring things back into normality with a Ya Mar, but this is also a weird version that gets very quiet in the middle of the jam. (6/7)

The segue from the end into Mike's Song is very cool with the intro riff initially played at a very fast speed.

Two different shows, two different styles, but both are really nights that stand out. (7/7)

Like the Little Squirrel quotes during Vegas21

Akin to walking out of a great NYC restaurant (where I career’d for 22 years): I shed a little happiness tear, because I’ll never eat that again. Too many new things to try!
