"Tweezer jam is killin it"

Text reports from a friend:

"Fantastic cept for the encore Time Turns Elastic"

and

"Tweezer jam is killin it"

fixed your friends text. reasons:

1. Oh Sweet Nothing Rules Face...especially pertinent in encore slot. Show is essentially over, sit back and reflect on its beautiful texture and well written lyrics.
2. Nothing blows harder than TTE....ever.....except maybe Farmhouse....but Farmhouse is not 15 minutes long.....thus nothing blows harder than TTE.  :lol: :lol:

TTE is the worst song ever and I have a story to go with that.

Tonight during the Live Setlist Thread I'm watching the stream, headphones on and Dagny's sitting on the couch next to me watching Man vs. Food. Phish start playing TTE and I go "Ugyuck".
She says "Did you just go 'ugyuck'? Aren't you listening to Phish? I've never heard you go 'ugyuck' at Phish."
"It's Time Turns Elastic," I reply, "the worst song ever, Phish has written some bad songs before but they're usualy only 4-5 minutes long. This turd lasts 20 minutes!"
"Why do they play it if it's so bad?" she asks.
"Beats the shit outta me." was the only answer I could come up with.

Well, if they didn't play the show they did yesterday, this show would hold up pretty well on its own.  However, it will always be the neglected little brother after that beast of a show last night.

Birds jam was great, got pretty "out there" for a while but (as has been the case with most of the jams) right as it got real interesting, they went back into it and finished the song.  Thought there could have been just about ANY song played instead of TTE and this show would've stood out that much more.  Don't sleep on it.

YEM, including a lengthy vocal jam, was also a highlight as was the Antelope close to set 1.  Mike was on point as usual.

Its been fun, can't wait this again soon (rest of this tour and NYE are out of the question but hopefully there are some dates before summer tour).

nope, she didn't.
she's workin thurs & friday.
and then we're hitting albany > portland > msg,

mehead: "this set just confirmed Albany is getting TTE'd"

:banana:

[Dolemite]

CK5's lights on Time Turns Elastic were incredible

Birds was very interesting. Liked where they were going

[rowjimmy]

Even with TTE it was a good show.

[Undermind]

BOAF was one of the highlights in Hartford as well.  I think any set that has a YEM and a Tweezer should not be overlooked.

[mehead]

so I stand corrected..never mind the fact that they played TTE but the placement? wtf?  I'm sure that was the last thing people were expecting after Tweezer, YEM, Esther..BUZZKILL

[birdman]

Wow, RJ. Another Tweezer, Esther, and TTE for you. Any more lost children running around? :roll:

[shoreline99]

Cribbed this from RJ's facebook. Blatboom got TTE'd. Again.
