So much better than the version I made for phish.net in 1995. At the time we were concerned about copyright, so the version was on the site but not linked publicly because of legal concerns. Glad to see it's back.

You had a lyrics index in 1995? would *love* to see that! Or, maybe you mean an unindexed lyrics collection?

It was unindexed. It was essentially Grabinsky's original 92-93 file updated with everything new through the 94 NYE run broken into individual pages for every song. Occasional notes were thrown in at the bottom a la song histories pointing out recommended versions, significant changes, etc. This was also before databases were easily usable, so I coded the whole damn thing in HTML via Notepad. It was on the old Netspace site for about 2 hours before we (the unofficial r.m.p group... I honestly feel like you and I talked about it directly...?) decided we should pull it down until we ironed out some details with the band about the legality. For a while it was going to come back WITHOUT songs that were part of studio albums, but then A Live One came out and nobody could agree on details without a direct line to the band. I think I was about to send a message to Mike's old AOL account but thought better of it.

Like I said, the files were there on the server for a while, but I removed the links to it and password protected it just in case. It was a different time when there was still people who thought Ask Jeeves was cool.
