Phish - June 22nd, 2025

The return of Fish's intro affords a welcome old-school vibe, pleasantly offset by the band's latter-day spacious, breezy sound. Check out 2/3/93; 2/9/93; 2/12/93; 8/20/93; and 6/7/95 as a means to explore the song's fantastic history and evidence of a workingman's band "writing" on stage.

The first leg of a three-part "Tweezer" begins with a playful, bouncy groove buoyed by chunky bass and chugs along in an easy-going manner until briefly slowing as it transitions back to minor for more typical "Tweezer" riffing. After 12:45 the jamming steadily gains traction with a new direction as an excellent rocking theme is developed and driven home with great aplomb until it dissolves > "Mercury".

> from a big-time "Tweezer". The jam stays mostly within the bounds of the song until Trey finds a riff he likes. The rest of the band follows along and a bliss jam appears. Trey remains aggressive the entire way, all the way until he signals that it's going to be a "Tweezer-fest" and abruptly > back into "Tweezer".

> from a strong "Mercury" as the second leg of a three-part "Tweezer" bonanza. This section is largely "Type I" but with plenty of synthy flourishes and adds in a splash of ambience in the finals minutes before > "Pillow Jets".

> from "Tweezer" in a wild and wacky Tweezer-fest. The band sludges through some dark jamming before returning to the "Conjurers of thunder" refrain and ever so slowly, Trey finds his way back to > into more "Tweezer".

Slowly emerges > from "Pillow Jets" for the third and final time in a "Tweezer"-dominated set, and is quickly reduced to an eerie hush. Creepy effects are gradually added to the mix as the off-kilter energy builds until eventually Fish kicks back in and the riff returns to usher in a climactic finale, after which it dwindles in the old-fashioned way to put a capper on a collective 42 minutes of "Tweezer" action.
