Phish encored with this Skynyrd power-ballad to cap off a consistently freewheeling and fun gig on – you guessed it – a Tuesday night in Massachusetts. For their one and only performance of "Tuesday's Gone," they were joined by Scott Murawski (from Max Creek, and Mike Gordon Band, among other projects) on guitar.

After the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, humungo-media dimwits Clear Channel placed "Tuesday's Gone" on a list of songs to be banned from airplay on their radio stations. Among the many reasons Phish should revive this tune, lifting a middle finger to Clear Channel has to rank among the top.

Train roll on, on down the line
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door
Means I'm leaving my woman behind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My woman's gone with the wind

And I don't know where I'm going
I just want to be left alone
Well, when this train ends I'll try again
But I'm leaving my woman at home

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My woman's gone with the wind

Train roll on many miles from my home
See, I'm riding my blues away
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got to carry on
