Without question, the best Tweezer in my collection
in the 1990-3 span. The second set opens with a very
good Suzy with a great jam.  Tweezer comes next.  A
very standard uneventful opening.  Sure, the usual
exaggerated lyrics here and there.  No hints of what
is to come.  At the very beginning of the jam, Mike
has the audacity to play what is basically Sweet
Emotion's (but not quite if you listen carefully)
primary bass line over and over again for the first
few minutes.  It sounds really, really awesome
(unless you hate Sweet Emotion). Trey ignores him,
but Page steps up and drops some Sweet Emotion chords
as well.  The jam is very bold and raw until Trey
breaks out of the Force and steps out in front of
everyone, soaring magnificently on the Languedoc.
Soon, the jam gets taken over by Trey, and frankly,
gets really weird, with everyone just tooling around.
Actually doesn't sound too good.. just weird (like
Bangor and Bomb Factory do at times).  They just all
screw off for a few minutes.  Then Mike and Trey lock
into a weird repetitive lick that would have become
dull if they had continued on it longer than they
did.  Mike soon fires up the bass out of this lick
(after Page adds his two cents), and then Trey starts
firing off chords and They blast off into a rocking
Tweezer finale jam -- that actually isn't the
finale!!  Suddenly, they drop this raw
near-the-end-sounding Tweezer jam and move into this
sweeeeeeet, beautiful, awe-inspiring minute or so of
blissful melodic Play (that's right.. 'Play" for all
you Derrideans out there.. you know who you are).  It
is ORGASMIC!!  Then the typical Tweezer theme arises
again very powerfull,y and the plebeian slowed-down
end-of-the-theme standard ending "jam" (!) comes in.
(exhale)  At nearly twenty minutes, this is a killer
Tweezer that -- though it includes 3 or so minutes of
just plain old fucking around that sounds weird -- is
simply fantastic as a version.  If they had just
continued wailing instead of going into that weird
chaotic mind-melting interlude I would give this
version a 9.0 "must get this fucking tweezer"
rating.   This wouldn't be fair to Eureka 4/92,
though, which is also a killer version of Tweezer.  I
think I like this one more, though.  I have to give
it a must have rating.  8.5 . There. I've done it.
It's over. Flame away.  Please, one of you has got to
think that this is the lamest version of Tweezer
ever.. I'm ready to hear your "rationality" regarding
this.  Oh yeah, and this show (set, actually) had
Dick Solberg doing some stuff on violin with the boyz
which sounds great.. 'That's Alright Mama' is really
cool!  Not to mention the ob la di in the Mikes..! (A)
