Tweezer starts up right after > My Sweet One.  Opening segment is
punchy, but nothing unusual outside of a wee bit of lyrical improv
from Mike.  Crowd gets excited after "Ebeneezer," but no screaming
from the band. (Chris must have given them a light show)

Jam segment at 4:37, and it begins with patient, ominous chords from
Trey.  Darkly.  Trey doesn't break it out until 5:22, and he does so
with fired up straight hard rock chords.  Phaaaat Mike.  Around 6:07
Trey begins soloing as if he wants to break into "Who Knows" but he
doesn't go there.  Very groovy but typical Tweezer jam around 6:30.

Around 8:27 the jam begins ->seguing into a Big Ball Jam, and the
crowd gives a few roars, suggesting the unleashing of the balls.  Band
starts playing along with the Balls.  Big Ball Jam.  Ya-hoo.

Big ball jam ends and Tweezer starts up again around 10:10.  Trey
doesn't get on the ball (he was still soloing to a ball I presume)
until 10:50, when the whole band bursts into a strong closing jam.
Well, spoke to soon.. this potent jam dies out soon, and Trey repeats
a lick a bunch, then everyone quiets down.  Trey starts softly
noodling over light accompaniment (melodiously noodling, I should
say).  Jam just sorta tools aimlessly around.. but there are a few
measures of interesting crescendo chordwork, before everyone blasts
climactically back into Tweezer at 15:17.  An exceptionally
improvisational version for 1992.  The Note at 15:58, and the slowly,
steadily dying out ending progresses in typical fashion.. and ends.
(no return to the theme)  Total time 17:09. Tela starts up about a
second or two later.. not quite a > imo.  Very interesting version,
and the longest Tweezer I've heard from before May 1993.  Unusually
improvisational... but it didn't do that much, imo.  Still, have to
give it a 6.5
