   # - last "Colonel Forbin's Ascent"
08/07/98 (143 shows) according to ZZYZX's Phish Stats; Trey takes the time to thank the people who have supported them, including the crew (the greatest crew in the history of music) and to talk about the hiatus and how they'll use it to write songs and recharge (so they can come back and play another 17 years) after these next 6 shows before talking about the strange dream he had last night that he was sitting in the middle of a field on a beautiful day, when suddenly he saw from the periphary of his vision people walking towards him... an army of people surrounding him before sitting down. One of them took an apple and handed it to him and explained that they wanted him to eat the apple as a gift, but he realized he had no teeth... but then a giant tooth grew out of his upper gum. But you can't eat an apple with one tooth. He began to get nervous that people would wonder why he wasn't eating the apple and he had a moment of panic. Luckily, at that moment, the sun flew closer to the sun than it had ever been in history, and as a result his first thought was that the earth would burn up, but instead, the earth acted in the way that a grape acts... it shrivled and turned into a raisin version of the earth. The ground wrinkled and became mountains and the people got crushed together into a big pile. Only moments before he'd been panicking, but being crushed together, he realized that all of his senses became much more vivid in the way that a raisin is more intense tasting than a grape... Sounds, emotions, love... And just as the earth was becoming a much more rich and vivid place, he found himself in this pile of people. This pile of people became a groping pile of love and goo and he realized that Gamehendge is a state of mind and you don't have to get there physically. He decided then that everyone needed to know how simple it was to turn yourself into a seething pile of goo, so he called upon the Famous Mockingbird to spread the word about this...

07/28/98 (150 shows) according to ZZYZX's Phish Stats; song ended with Trey setting up a delay loop before he and Mike moved to the front of the stage and began a bizarre synchonized duel involving them swinging their guitar and bass at each other and around themselves while wandering across the front of the stage and putting strange hats on Page and Jon; at one point Trey and Mike put both the guitar and bass down on the stage and kicked/stomped the stage beside them to produce more feedback; in the end Trey finally "defeated" Mike before the band walked off stage
