Trey Anastasio, Jonathan Fishman, Mike Gordon, Tom Marshall & Page McConnell

LeRoi guests on this song and Funky Bitch at Phish's 7.21.97 show at Virginia Beach. The jam linking these two songs features a section with Roi playing two saxophones, Trey on three guitars, Mike on two basses, Fish with many drumsticks, and Page playing with his hands and feet. Days after LeRoi passed away in 2008, Trey Anastasio described the scene on his webpage:

"When Phish played Virginia Beach in 1997, LeRoi came on stage and started playing three saxophones at once and set off the most hilarious chain of events. Within minutes, Page was playing four of his keyboards with his hands and feet. I had three guitars on and drumsticks in my hand banging on Fish's drums, and Mike was playing two basses. It was just a phenomenal moment! And I remember LeRoi laughing with his mouth full of saxophones.
We miss you LeRoi and thank you for the joy you brought all of us.
- Trey Anastasio"

"Theme from the Bottom" originally appears on Phish's 1996 album Billy Breathes.
