*Trying out a new feature here on SHA where we will do a little roundup each weekday with some tidbits from the previous night mostly in the form of setlists of shows we are checking in on or notable latenight television appearances. Please let us know of any bands you want added to the rotation or good setlist websites you feel like recommending by leaving a comment or by emailing the Asstrich. Rock.

Gone was a debut, and Dixie Cannonball was a Phish debut. Back on the Train featured an extended jam including hints of Limb by Limb. During Love You, Fishman mentioned Trey's announcement the previous night that it was Fishman's last vacuum solo "of the aughts," so he announced that he needed "someone dressed like me" to do it, brought audience member Rich onstage to do the solo, then gave him the vac! Frankenstein included Page on keytar. Corrina was last played February 24, 2003 (100 shows ago) and Tela was last played November 24, 1998 (235 shows ago). 2009 has now had more unique songs (242) than any other year in Phish's history, beating out 1998 by 2... so far!
