The song features Béla Fleck on the banjo. A reprise to the song is featured as a hidden track at the end of album, after "Spoon." When played live, "The Last Stop" often segues into the outro, which is performed with the whole band as opposed to the guitar-only version on the album.

Live performances

During the Winter 1998 tour, The song often featured Tim Reynolds on electric guitar and Fleck on banjo. Closer to Christmas time that year, Fleck was know to interpolate Johann Sebastian Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" during the reprise outro, such as during the 20 minute plus performance released on "Live Trax Vol. 1".

The band did not play "The Last Stop" for almost three years after playing it at the Gorge Amphitheater on 8 August 2003. The song returned on 2 July 2006 during a concert at Alpine Valley Music Theatre.

Changing things up a little bit for the song's performances during the 2006 summer tour, saxophonist LeRoi Moore and guest trumpeter Rashawn Ross added soaring horn lines to the song's chorus.
