i just gave this show a 5 star review, but i have to admit, it was only for the tweezer. this bad boy is a monster. this is the best tweezer they played since '94. trey is all over this one, and the funk 49 teases are a mix of hilarious and power house rocking. the rest of the boys aren't...

Incredible Tweezer!!! The sudden emergence of Bouncing is superb and invigorating. I like the flow of set I, interesting choices. Axilla starts the energy at 10. Taste keeps the energy going and then the always sublime billy breathes appears. I particularly enjoyed first tube from set I. As...

What a great way to kick off the 2000 Japan mini-tour. “Axilla > Taste” is fantastic, a great pairing. “Billy Breathes” may look weird as the third song in the set but it is gorgeous. “Funky Bitch” has a fun, deconstructed jam in the middle. “First Tube” is always fantastic and a great expression...

[b]6/9/00 Set 1:[/b] No doubt about it, this is a winner of a set. On-Air East starts off strong and sloppy with an Axilla I chockablock with crowd energy. This energy manifests on stage as a Taste tsunami crashing on Tokyo shores. This Taste isn't jam charted, but finds some really nice space...

This show probably deserves an extra 0.1 or 0.2 stars, imo. I'm convinced it would get there if it had a nice official SBD remaster. Early first set is a gentle wade into the water with a great Taste, careful Billy Breathes, and crowd-hyped Golgi. The back half of the set is bangers only and the...

Just needed to add that this is an exceptional Taste and should be an entry on the jam chart. Page's solo is standard fare, but Trey starts in with the Whammy and floats over a loopy '99-style groove that, to my knowledge, is unique for them - I can't think of any other examples of triple-time...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2000-06-09 Tweezer (30:45) Set 2 Noteworthy
Atypically slow but monstrously improvisational version that has several peaks and valleys before speeding-up and concluding in a melodic, triumphant, must-fucking-hear manner.
Ending jam segment stretches the limits of the basic jam with some nice rhythmic variation, but still stays "in bounds."
Winning fans in Japan. This huge first-set-closing version raises hell and ends, but then there's a second ending that concludes cacophonously.
Deeeep, funky jam/groove, and the return of the B&D segment!
Atypically improvisational must-hear monster.
