Can someone please direct me to the Single Ladies tease? I can't seem to find it.

In a previous jamming chart note, I compared this to the 12/2/95 Tweezer as noted by @colforbin310. While it's since been removed, I think it is a valid comparison but not note for note similar, obviously.

I agree with everything said in the notes for this jam on the jam chart except for the last statement. I love this jam, don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite jams from 3.0 and I listen to it all the time, but does it really sound anything like the 12/2/95 Tweezer? Nope. This Light has sweet low key grooves for a significant portion of the jam, which, imo refutes any possibility of this jam being anything like that Tweezer. The amazing thing about that Tweezer is that it's just a heavy, pounding jam for the entire time. This Light doesn't do that at all. It has that absolutely amazing peak at the end, but before that very end part its a sort of funk-rock groove. I think that saying that this jam is "very similar to the 12/2/95 Tweezer" is very misleading. But that doesn't mean I don't love it. Seriously, I love this jam. Its absolutely amazing and I could listen to it all day. I just don't think that the comparison is accurate given the actual styles of the jams.

To me, this one crushes the Dick's light from two weeks later. As @n00b100 states succinctly, no wasted moments. I won't pretend like C&P > Light -> Sally -> C&P is as masterful as 11/14/95's Stash -> Manteca -> Stash -> DFB -> Stash, but I will proclaim that it's sitting on the same shelf.

The peak of this jam is one of the most incredible things ive ever heard from this band. I dont care what year or era it comes from, but this peak just straight pops out of the speakers or headphones im listening to EVERY SINGLE TIME. the segue into sally is flawless and the build up until the aforementioned finale is just a perfect blend of stevie wonder-style funk and tool-style offbeat hard rock. You can lay down, close your eyes and lose youreslf in this one, or just dance your ass off wherever your are. this Light is a direct, punch you in the eye, fuck your face, no-frills jam for the ages

Imagine how much more people would talk about this jam if it actually was played in 1995. No wasted moments, tremendous flow from the "Single Ladies" section on, and a truly legendary moment when they conjure up the spirit of Tweezer Reprise en route to *that peak*. The centerpiece of one of 3.0's (and their entire career's) finest sets.
