The Last Stop is the third track off of the Dave Matthews Band album Before These Crowded Streets. It is directly segued into from the previous track, Rapunzel. A live version of this song is featured on a preoder disc for the Dave Matthews Band compilation album, The Best of What's Around Vol. 1.
This track was originally titled "The Egyptian Song" and "Black and White" before being named "The Last Stop," which remains as one of the band's biggest live cult songs today. The song compares the three main dominant religions in the world and explains how each religion is justified if one believes that it was dictated from God.
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.
