    Sometime in late 1992 I handed Trey these lyrics inspired by the rhythm of the song Pocahontas by Neil Young. Trey wrote this one completely by himself soon thereafter in his home studio in Vermont, and the first time I heard it was over the phone and we both flipped out over how cool it was. Trey's interesting overdubbed solo carried through to the studio version as well to my delight. Phish started playing it in early 1993 when it came out on Rift. One of my live favorites, I always think back to this first version when I hear it...

      Wow wouldn't have noticed the overdub if you didn't mention it. So jazzy sounding, can notice how much the song has been slowed down from it's original version.

      Oh Tom, Oh Trey! It truly is amazing how 2 different perspectives can create such Magic! I also have a 'twin' and we have definitely taught each other how to take the highway through the Great Divide. Cheers to that!!!

      A great example of the lightness/darkness theme that's in so many Phish lyrics, and why I get so much out of the songs -- they resonate on my best days, and my worst.
