Before Tweezer was a disco-ball dance tune it was an all-bets-are-off mid-90's free-improv springboard, and this small-venue second set is a relatively coherent Tweezer medley. Apparently the band did shots at setbreak and decided to experiment with playing open-endedly without stopping; it's...

This was, honest to Jah;-) my first show. I had been listening to Phish for 2 or 3 years by that point. Friends I knew would spin a show or two off for me and I truly thought I got IT. I was sooo wrong. Looking back I kinda wish this hadn't been my first show. The first set was fun but then the...

Although the 2nd set is rightly considered one of the all-time great Phish jams, the first set also contains excellent playing. Trey's soloing in Llama, Divided Sky, and FEFY suggest he is already thinking about pushing the boundaries of the songs and the setlist. The jam out of Horn and a huge...

I probably listen to at least part of the Tweezerfest at least once a week (Set 1 I've given the token listen probably everyone who has heard this show has given it - as @HighNote points out, it's a very solid set, but nothing you'll really feel the need to revisit); it's one of those sets that's...

The Legendary Tweezerfest! - This show shines through and through! To kick things off, the band opens with a very solid first set, including gorgeous renditions of Divided Sky & If I Could, down right nasty bass from Mike in Split Open And Melt, a tasty Mound, and the fan favorite Suzy...

For those who get as excited about little details as I do: When they go -> Tweezer Reprise (which is glorious in its own right) Page does something totally sweet when he kicks into the starting piano chords. Maybe he's done this in versions elsewhere but none that I can specifically recall....

My absolutely favorite bootleg show of all time! Hands down, shut the front door, period. Done. Amazing!

5/5. So whatever happened to Phish playing shows in Texas? Those were the days. I got these tapes about a year after the show, and they got almost as much play as my 12/31/93 tapes. This was actually the first time I heard Phish (or anyone) play Loving Cup. Looking back it's strange seeing...

This set list is why I can’t stand the set list team On the actual release of this show there is no notation of: “Sweet emotion jam” “MLBJ” “Cannonball jam (they play the song numnuts, not a “jam”)” “DDLJ”…can’t stand this shit Please correct this nonsense. You make a cool show...

This is, of course, one of those legendary tapes. It never worked out for me to get my own tapes of the show when I got into tape collecting in 1999 and by the time the official LP release came out I wasn’t really into Phish at the moment. So it took years for me to come back around to listen to...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-05-07 • Tweezer (22:32) Set 2 Noteworthy
Tweezerfest! An excellent, improvisational "Tweezer" jam precedes a number of other great, jammed-out tunes, with frequent musical references to the underlying and all-encompassing "Tweezer" theme. -> "Mind Left Body Jam."
1994-05-07 • Mind Left Body Jam (3:28) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from the opening "Tweezer." Spirited and intense playing downshifts to some quieter transitional action, which neatly -> "Sparks."
1994-05-07 • Sparks (2:42) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Tweezer." The third stop in the historic Tweezerfest medley, this high energy version sounds as though it will segue to "Walk Away," but instead pulls a fast one and -> to "Makisupa."
1994-05-07 • Makisupa Policeman (1:27) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from a "DDL Jam" that sounds an awful lot like "Tweezer" at times. This brief, less-than-pristine salute to the Aerosmith classic also has moments that sound a lot like "Tweezer." No wonder it's called the Tweezerfest. A neat -> to "Walk Away" ensues.
1994-05-07 • Digital Delay Loop Jam (6:02) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Makisupa." "Tweezer"-like jamming emerges from the basic "DDL Jam." The Tweezerfest continues...
1994-05-07 • Sweet Emotion (1:27) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from a "DDL Jam" that sounds an awful lot like "Tweezer" at times. This brief, less-than-pristine salute to the Aerosmith classic also has moments that sound a lot like "Tweezer." No wonder it's called the Tweezerfest. A neat -> to "Walk Away" ensues.
1994-05-07 • Walk Away (11:29) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Sweet Emotion Jam." "Walk Away" arguably returns to "Tweezer" after about 4 minutes. Either way, it's great, improvisational playing that ultimately -> "Cannonball."
1994-05-07 • Cannonball (2:06) Set 2 Noteworthy
A smooth and swinging "Cannonball" jam, replete with the Breeder's anthemic riff and serviceable lyrics. Spirited jamming winds down into wonderful Page, who leads a perfect -> to "Purple Rain.
1994-05-07 • Purple Rain (3:29) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "HYHU Jam." Closing out the startling, unprecedented and historic 1 hour and 7 minute long Tweezerfest exploration, the band ends this magnum opus with a big exclamation point, injecting spirit and extra mustard into the always energizing "Tweezer Reprise."
1994-05-07 • Hold Your Head Up (5:21) Set 2 Noteworthy
Following "Purple Rain," This version is highly improvisational, and may sound more like "Tweezer" than "HYHU" to you. Ain't called the Tweezerfest for no reason!
1994-05-07 • Tweezer Reprise (3:29) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "HYHU Jam." Closing out the startling, unprecedented and historic 1 hour and 7 minute long Tweezerfest exploration, the band ends this magnum opus with a big exclamation point, injecting spirit and extra mustard into the always energizing "Tweezer Reprise."
Good solid "SOAM" with intense playing, plenty of dissonance, and an unusual ending sequence.
