Frankie Says

Outro turns towards ambience ripe with synthesizer and builds into a wall of sound before > "Maze".

Setlist notes

The debut of Grind featured Tom Marshall on vocals and was dedicated to Phish fan Chris Heinel, who had recently been injured in a lacrosse accident. Possum included Wipe Out teases. For this show, the Holiday Run dancers were dressed as nymphs.
