Product Description

When "Back on the Train entered the Phish realm, many fans could have sworn theyd heard it before, believing it was a cover of a blues standard; its bluesy groove and catchy chorus recall any number of classic-rock songs, especially Eric Claptons Lay Down Sally. Its lyrics can be interpreted in many ways. What exactly is the train that the protagonist needs a break from and then comes back to after a long respite?

Trey performed the song first on 5/4/99 at the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis, and again on every show of that inaugural TAB tour. On each occasion the song was performed acoustic, like an old-time blues shuffle. Many fans assumed was called Get Back on the Train until the release of Farmhouse showed otherwise. The song was radically transformed for Phishs repertoire, giving it the full-band electric treatment and using everyday noises for some of his inspiration. Not only does the Farmhouse version feature a Fishman drum part that sounds like a train running on tracks, but it is in the key of F the same as a train whistle! Back on the Train made its Phish debut on the first set of the first show of the summer 1999 tour, on 6/30/99, and it has remained in the regular rotation ever since.
