Talked about the years with most 20+ min jams on the episode below (spoiler 1997, 2025)

I think 2026 will beat the 41 in 97 and the 40 in 2025. 5 already in Mexico this year.

@hfpod.bsky.social I really need to hear Brian's take on this Ruby Waves jam.

My Phish fandom was forged with my love for my brother, who I lost this past week at the age of 44. I wrote a little something about that.

Numbers don’t lie.

We’re living in an unprecedented era of massive jams in the @phish.com universe. 🙌🏻

nice! ... I took your computed '# of 20/25 minute jams per show' stat and put into these simple bar plots ... just to help visualize

my gosh ... 2021, 2024, and 2025

Absolutely incredible work on my hypothesis about lower avg show gap = better show. Doesn’t totally pan out bc of outliers but does sort of apply to the last five shows of tour.

Thank you @past-and-future.bsky.social 🤓

I was also intrigued by this hypothesis, so I did a quick regression (vertical axis = rating, horiz axis = average gap), definitely no correlation.

However, I agree that the average is a misleading stat (for reasons you discussed). The median would be more appropriate, but need to do add'l work.

OK, I did something really nerdy with Brian's numbers of 20 and 25 minute jams. Please let him know! 😅 (I also did this *very quickly* because I'm currently slammed, so there might be mistakes).
