Wow.....just wow.....can we NEVER be happy? "they didn't jam this enough"...or "Trey ripcorded that"...or "07/27/14 was ok but there were no jams"...This is a three song EPIC second set, and STILL we find a way to bitch about it. We are the most ego killing fan base ever, lol we are so bad that...

The weather held off and we were all treated to a stellar show. I, personally enjoyed the show very much: The rare Buried opener was wonderful and well played which segued into a semi-rare first set Twist that got the crowd moving and involved early. A standard Heavy Things with a lackluster...

Super weird that people think of this as the band "giving the finger", This show was advertised as "Space Jam", no? I can't find the flier / poster now.. But it's out there somewhere. This Tweezer isn't as held together as Bozeman, Tahoe or Mesa, or even Jones Beach or Mud Island. But...

Half the seating area was empty chairs when Phish played. A small group of us ran to the stage to support our boys though! I actually have a recollection of stage hands taking the microphones away during the end jam of Runaway Jim!! :( The best part was meeting Mike out on the lawn after...

https://medium.com/the-phish-from-vermont/35ffd49c0d3c Being There: Review 7/15/14 A Phish Show is a Good Thing So, I’ve reviewed every show here. But this was the first one I attended. I thought I’d reflect a bit on why being at a show still matters. First, the negatives — I...

I'll keep this short but this is the one time I felt as though I needed to post a review of the show. This was my first show ever being in pit and I couldn't have been happier to have made the decision to go by myself. Normally I'm with a group of 4 or 5 people and we're attending shows as a way...

Although I wasn't at this show, the 4-song set II and the 40 minute Tweezer -> Tweezer Reprise intrigued me. After all, this was still only '95 and 4-song sets weren't common yet. Set I was alright, but nothing special. Mule at points seemed like a train ready to derail but was still...

I flew back from Colorado for my 20th high school reunion, & also was treated to a smoking hot dance party at CMAC, saw many folks I hadn't seen since college as well, energy in that place was awesome. Security attempted to keep people out of the aisles & walkways in the pavilion, but their...

A very fun and high energy show. No 20+ min jams but every song was well-played. A strong night vocally for sure. Trey's playing was very laid back throughout--kind of reminded me of Jerry on a mellow night in 76. The Connection was a nice surprise. A good song that I hadn't taken much...

My first show and a weird show taboot. Of course the reason for giving this show a listen is the second set Tweezer (FLeezer). A bit spaced out a times but good fun. That being said the first set has a great feel to it. It is almost as if while listening to the first set it becomes obvious...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1995-06-22 Tweezer Reprise (2:43) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Tweezer" to close out the famed "Fleezer."
1995-06-22 Tweezer (45:00) Set 2 Noteworthy
The Finger Lakes "FLeezer." Another masterpiece of Phish improv that segues into "Tweeprise." Must-f'ing-hear. Includes Fish on vacuum for a spell, and a "My Generation" jam.
Dubbed "Fuegolope," there's a lot more to this strong "Type I" version than just teases, including a nice quiet section that builds with dissonance and tension to a fiery conclusion.
A nice jam departs the standard, moving into some darkish probing. Gradually, the jam builds into a more upbeat groove, but with exploratory moments interspersed, included some great funky Mike and Page teaming, and a Trey and Fish-led rocking ending section.
Seems like a short, standard version until 5:00, when the jam breaks into a rhythmic, low-key groove which gets nicely away from typical fare, builds intensity, and > unfinished to "LxL."
Intense, well played version approaches the conclusion, and then morphs into an eerie, psychedelic 5 minute exploration that gains some propulsion before a -> into the "Fleezer," a monster version of "Tweezer."
1995-06-22 Jam (5:23) Set 2
-> in from "Theme From The Bottom." An eerie, psychedelic jam follows "Theme," gains some propulsion, and -> to the "Fleezer," a monster 45 minute "Tweezer" -> "Tweezer Reprise" combination.
Insanely intense, driving, and dissonant jam, with excellent Fish just hammering away.
Sweeeet jam segment and B&D!
