Beautiful venue.. water on both sides of the field, nice
view of downtown San Diego (a very pleasant city).
Opening standard. No pre-Ebeneezer jamming, especially.
Ebeneezer lyric screaming at the usual time (around 4:30).
Jam segment starts out in the typical dark and funky
fashion, with nothing particularly special. Trey touches
on the Tweezer theme, which ain't that normal. He soon
finds a somewhat interesting theme upon which to groove,
which gets especially engaging around the 7:30 point..
This version is fairly typical of the Fall '95 versions
that I've heard. Very textural, rhymic chords and licks
from Trey, with the usual grand accompaniment. Nothing
strikes me as especially harmonious, though. At around
9:15, the jam kinda slogs around in a semi-dissonant,
repetitive manner, that doesn't sound that cool to my ears.
At ten minutes, this semi-dissonant creative mess
climaxes, and within ten secs or so, Trey lets loose some
very glorious licks. Page is chording away.. At 10:40,
the jam drops back a little bit. Trey is stuck playing
certain chords over and over again, and Page lets
loose... At 11:10 or so, Trey starts the spacey/hazy
digital delay loop effects, and Page creates a synthesized
awry sound.. At 11:57, Trey lets out some chords that
remind me of the pre-Johnny B Goode jam from the 6/17/95
Tweezer... but nothing happens. Very spacey at this
point.. 12:30.. Fish is off the drums (cymbals only..)..
At 12:50 Page starts Keyboard Army. ;^[
In my opinion, one of the most dull versions of Tweezer
I've heard in some time. I remember at the show I enjoyed
dancing to this version quite a lot (especially with Dan
P., Capntrips, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LEGENDARY SOCK PUPPET
CREATOR, MR ALLAN KEETON..). Buuuut, this version strikes
me as, well, pretty boring. And short. 4.5
