Back On the Train is a song I feel is criminally overlooked. Unless it's a MONSTER version (Japan in 2000, Nassau in 2003) it's just one people hardly ever talk about. To my ear, Fishman just always, always sounds so damn good on this tune, propelling the song along with such an infectious rhythm. And Trey's tone when playing this is spectacular. This version is no slouch. No, it's not a 20-minute rager, but not everything has to be; sometimes it's just perfectly good enough to be THIS band playing songs from all throughout their catalogue, and with aplomb. That's the case here.

And then it's followed by Taste - the song that I feel showcases the 4-headed monster firing on all cylinders better than almost any other. Again, a "standard" version. But I think we've all been so spoiled that we forget that a "standard" version of a Phish song is still like 3000X better than most others.

Enjoy this. Enjoy it in the moment, and listen & relive the splendor that is this band, because this sort of thing doesn't happen all the time. We're incredibly lucky to be sharing space with these guys. Appreciating the "standard" versions just makes those EPIC moments all that much better!
