2019-12-03 Philadelphia, PA - 2024 revisit

 Moving on to the infamous Sirius subscriber, supposedly no jamming, Tweezerfest show - 12/3/19


12/3/19 Philadelphia

Set 1

We get off to a spectacular run for the first half hour or more! An excellent Hello My Baby bust out right into Tweezer sets the tone for the night perfectly!

Tweezer is shorter but excellent, exploring darker, more patient kind of playing. Very solid stuff. And in a total X Factor face-slap moment Trey rips into the Free lick and the boys follow suit without ever stopping!

A true segue! :D

Free is terrific, extra funky and just killer as ever. Same goes for the following Moma, but the fun begins when Trey immediately morphs the Moma jam back into Tweezer and they spend the duration alternating flawlessly between the two! This is really fantastic stuff right here.

In yet another flawless segue, they slowly continue to morph the jam and turn it into Blaze On, which itself turns in an A- type 1 reading. Absolutely excellent!!!

Man, what a friggin PARTY so far!!!

The first not-quite cooldown of the night occurs with a fantastic Jesus Just Left Chicago. A+ all around, throw this in the must hear pile.

Up next is a GLORIOUS Kill Devil Falls>Tweezer Jam>Ya Mar combo. KDF deserves a jam chart - it reaches bliss fire hose heaven, just erupting like crazy. Then at the perfect moment Trey yanks them back into Tweezer! Tweezer is dark and grimy and gritty this time, all growly FX and bass tones. Fantastic. Then he pulls us into a terrific Ya Mar to pick us up.

That was SICK!!!

Solid closer of Drift

All in all, this set was a BLAST!!!! It just kept you on your toes from start to finish. I only heard this show once years ago and it ALWAYS stuck with me as being a great listen. So glad that is still true.... No this set doesnt reinvent the wheel but it doesnt need to - its a party! Awesome segues, terrific bursts of jamming, energy out the wazoo. No it aint The Great Went, but c'mon folks, this is GOOD STUFF!!!

 
 Set 2

The 2nd set begins in SPECTACULAR fashion with a MUST HEAR, type 2, x factor magic Chalkdust that goes full blown psychedelic hose explosion on us. Absolutely incredible and one of the finest versions in recent memory - please go revisit this!!!

CDT morphs back into a Tweezer jam which in turn segues into an excellent Mikes Song. Mikes rocks good, giving way, funnily, to an oddly placed Sparkle/Ass Handed combo that set the stage for a wonderfully jammed out Weekapaug. Really, this Paug is great and this whole "sandwich" is essential eating!

Friggin terrific stuff you guys. Golly!!!!

A perfectly placed Miss You gives way to an absolute stunning Waves. Short and type 1, thats ok because Treys soloing is some of the most perfect you will ever hear. A+ hidden gem!!!

A short Twist dissolves into a surprise airing of A Day in the Life!!! Pretty excellent and great to hear!! This fakeout set closer then gives way to a very lengthy and VERY jammed out 2001 outer space dance party! X FACTOR ALIEN MAGIC! THIS SUCKER GOES TYPE 2 AND ITS GLORIOUS!!! MUST HEAR!!! Tons of stuttering delay, ambient synth, tribal drums.... SCREAMING POWER DRILL!!!! ALIEN AWESOMENESS!!!

After that, an obligatory More closes the set and Waste into Tweeprize close the show.

THIS FRIGGIN SHOW IS AMAZEBALLS!!! ESSENTIAL LISTENING 101! THE WHOLE DANG THING FRONT TO BACK IS JUST A FANTASTIC BANGER OF A SHOW!!!! GO REVISIT THIS SUCKER!!! ITS A BLAST!!! :D 

That Met show is plain awesome. Its got a bit of everything - sick segues, high quality jams, excellent flow, high energy....

I mean, what the hell. Honestly there is almost nothing to complain about unless you wanna just be a super jerky nit picker.

That 12/3/19 show kills and Im standing by that statement. Mustve been incredible to be in that room.
