Love this.
We are a passionate & well listened community to be sure. I don't feel like the Tahoe Tweezer needs defending, if the music doesn't move you for 36 straight minutes then ok, it's all a subjective trip anyways. But for my money the argument that it's only good because of what came before it is just fool's logic.
If Phish ever wasted a ton of time(and they have) then it wasn't in that Tweezer. The Worcester Jim on the other hand....surprised that cracked the Top 30 to be honest.
I'll join the wtf legions on the exclusion of any DWD,Antelopeor SOAM.
I've always found DWD to be much much better in certain years, 97'-98', 12'-14', and I have the Went DWD on my list.
The lack of covers is also a bit confounding. I know the average fan loves a great cover jam so I was surprised to see no Rock N' Roll (Long Beach!), Drowned,C&P(West Palm), Cities(many verisons) or Boogie On(Chula,duh) but I get how those Jams can be less "accessible" so it's whatever.
I'm sad the following didn't make it:
IT 46 Days
Fleezer
Went DWD
Albany Seven Below
Nassau Gin
98' Gorge Mike's Groove
7-22-03 Melt (I always come back to it)
I would love to see Light, Fuego & Carini make the cut but I don't think they've earned it....Yet.
Anyhow, enough nitpicking for me. Great Job people. See yall this Summer.
