Greensboro, NC
Trey teased San-Ho-Zay in Chalk Dust. Instead of emerging from behind the piano with his own microphone for Lawn Boy, Page came front stage and used Treyâs microphone and stand. The move prompted a raucous response from the crowd. Trey teased Oye Como Va and Another One Bites the Dust during YEM. Carolina was played for the first time since November 18, 1998 (146 shows). The YEM vocal jam included a Daniel Saw the Stone tease. Proud Mary was performed a cappella (including renderings of the musical breaks) to conclude the vocal jam. Only one other version of Proud Mary is known â a full-band version at the first ever Phish show on December 2, 1983 (1,379Â shows).

Inglewood, CA
The Cover of 'Rolling Stone' made its Phish debut at this show, presumably as a nod to their actual appearance on the cover of the March 6, 2003 issue of that very magazine. Gin included Entrance of the Gladiators, Woman from Tokyo, and San-Ho-Zay teases. Trey also teased San-Ho-Zay in Walls of the Cave. A fan jumped on-stage and grabbed Treyâs microphone during AC/DC Bag before being dragged off-stage.
