i'm partial to 11.30.95 Tweezer myself. still don't “get” the 2.28.03 hype, the McNichols is no slouch either.

Well until the next night’s quintessential Tube. Which aligns more within the song than Tweezer’s funk. I knew that after hearing some of these Fall ’97 Tweezers, the remaining ones could be tainted, and like drinking a fine glass of cabernet, you wonder how to get excited about the future, when you see that your previous knowledge and experience will hold you back from eliciting the same endorphinic response of emotions. You can only compare backwards. Of course the great part about Phish is it’s different for everyone, so they just kept on trying. Thank God.

Yeah, those ’94 and ’95 Tweezers could be … schizophrenic and disjointed and surely massively improvisational, there was no coordination in the band to really say “Wow, they’re on lock on what and where they’re going 3 minutes from now, not just in this very moment. It was as if the band was smiling, with “And wait till they hear this 3 minutes from now…”

Yeah, the McNichols Tweezer is great for just launching off right away. Exposing us early to their new skills and tricks. And mostly it’s consistency. A truly “to the point” Tweezer yet improvisational. Single style and movement. Setting the mood early in the set, and blowing everyone in the rooms hair back at the SERIOUSNESS (and Funkiness) of this upcoming endeavor. Like opening with Frankenstein 10-31-94. 12-6 though is 11-17, but with an evolved second movement with a strong change in vision, and force. The etherealness of the jam get’s confusing for my ear though and it’s easy to forget how fun and funky the first part of the jam was, when you’re awash in the thunderstorm and crashing waves of Fishman’s rolls on the toms, and Trey is like a captain holding the tiller and trying to drive right into the rain. Isabella let’s you know Trey’s intent of bringing the acid rock and rain on the crowd. But the post Isabella jam gets everyone right back on the horse and bobbing the collective heads again. Wondering what just happened, and will it happen again?

Glad for bringing this back out for my ears hear it again.

as for my favorite Tweezer, i only saw it once, at one of the Vegas shows towards the end, so that’s my fave by default… never did get to see a Divided Sky, though… bummer.
