<p>As the show began, the view was from inside a cabin with windows on all four walls. The room began to spin, and accompanied by recorded sound effects, the visuals eventually blurred into multicolored streaks, finally resolving into a turntable. Once the needle dropped on the record, Trey began The Wedge. Among the visuals for Halfway to the Moon was the Colosseum, but built out of port-a-potties. During Golgi Apparatus, a camerman came on stage for close-ups of each band member as they played, projecting the image as a kaleidoscope across the dome. Trey teased The Secret of Life (The Dead Milkmen) in A Wave of Hope. The scene for Runaway Jim began by looking out at Las Vegas and the Sphere. Turning upside down and zooming in on a "Phish Hotel," the view passed through the peephole of the front door and into a surreal museum and library filled with odd sculptures, flying bowling pins, and toilets. After passing through several rooms, the view reached a door which opened and closed to reveal a variety of scenes, until finally backing out of the museum and returning to the Las Vegas strip. The Sloth contained alternate lyrics referencing the three songs (Fee, The Sloth, and Punch You In the Eye) which reference nipple slicing, all of which had been played during the Sphere run, and during none of which did Trey appear to have sung the traditional "nipple" lyrics. For the outro to The Squirming Coil, the view was a drive-in theater with video of the band playing as the movie. When the song reached the final chorus, suddenly only four cars remained. As each band member stopped playing and walked off stage, a corresponding car drove away.</p>
