Countdown to Phish: Day 10

Got two words for today: TEN DAYS!

Here's a song Trey debuted acoustically with Mike at the Rothbury festival last summer: Backwards Down the Number Line. It's a beautiful birthday song that Trey also played a few times with the Classic TAB lineup later during their Northern Exposure Tour last October.

Tom Marshall wrote the lyrics to Trey in a letter for his birthday last year and true to their historic songwriting relationship, Trey set them to music. I sure hope the boys play this in Hampton -- can't wait to hear it evolve over the years if it becomes a part of the Phish rotation. This one's from the National Theater in Richmond on 10/25/08:
