@MiguelSanchez and @bl002e, it's so funny you bring up the walk-off. I started [url= http://forum.phish.net/?thread=1357940759]this[/url ] thread about ten days ago talking about the two times (I know of) where Trey walked off the stage in the middle of a raging jam (10/31/98 Ghost and this Halley's). Disclaimer: I was at neither show, though I have watched the 10/31/98 video many times.

My theory was that he needed to take a shit-- in that thread there are some other guesses as well. There are a couple videos on PooTube from the 9/18/00 show, but not the Halley's (which I looked long and hard for in my "investigation" . Bummer for sure.

I listened to this jam over and over last week trying to figure out if I could find any signs in the music itself that would point to the imminent bail-out, but I couldn't find any. Alas, I was traveling yesterday and couldn't check in for the MJM, which for the first time, I *instantly* recognized. Bummer! Nice work @slaphappy, and nice work LBC-- not sure if you saw that thread but that basically was a gift MJM for me considering I listened to that jam over and over the last two weeks, yet the MJM whizzed right past me.
