Ok, below 4 stars? That score is whack. Yes, it was definitely not Alpine night 3 by any means, but come on guys. Bag was great opener, awesome Funky Bitch, Blaze On into Ya Mar was super fun, and then the sequence of Sloth, FYF, and MFMF was awesome. Set two Runaway Jim -> Undermind is the hero of the show for me, and it also had my favorite Hood I've seen. Wish there had been at least a double-encore, but can't get that every night I get it. In summation, they played tight, had some great transitions, and had a few really beautiful jams. Show should definitely be at least four stars.

Decent SBD source for Set 1 with a good overall mix. Set 2 is a nice audience source, though there’s at least one cassette generation in the lineage. There’s a great pre-show interview with Trey by Mike Litwin available on YouTube that’s worth checking out. The evening kicks off with a run of songs Trey mentioned in his chat with Litwin. Solid Reba, a decent Melt, and an inspired Esther. The Groove set closer is absolutely fantastic! Right up there with the Tuscaloosa ‘paug as my favorite Groove up to this point. The Wilson > Hood pairing set the tone immediately. You can feel very good about this Hood. Well played versions of Ice and Mango (both also referenced in the interview) follow. Unfortunately, there’s a tape flip during the Tweezer jam, so it’s unclear how much music was lost—but what’s here is incredible. The segue into TMWSIY makes for the perfect landing pad, and a killer Jim wraps up a very strong second set. Before the encore, there’s a charity raffle (Turtle wins) Trey notes they’re glad to be back home after nine weeks on the road and that they’ll be heading home the following night. Despite calls for Sanity and Harpua, the band closes out the night with two a cappella numbers and Golgi.

Not the best audience source for this show. Things open with a rock-solid Buried Alive, followed by a straightforward but fun Possum. Stash is decent, and Bathtub Gin is well played. Page shines with a sweet solo in Coil, and Llama rips as expected. After Llama, Trey lets the crowd know they’ll play one more before set break, and mentions that there will be a special guest on guitar for the second set. A lively YEM closes the first set with an inspired jam, strong B&D, and an entertaining VJ. Straightforward start to the second half. Standard version of Antelope, and the mystery guest is revealed: Henrietta on guitar. lol They dust off Bike for the first time in a while, and Henrietta’s guitar solo is nothing short of… inspirational. Carl Gerhard jumps in for the Cavern set closer and sticks around for the encore. Magilla and Brother both get nice, well-executed readings to wrap up the night.

This is a five star show. Top 10 from 97 in my book with a foot in the top 5. Both sets are pure heat. The Drowned is perhaps the purest example of cow funk, though the second set Philly Jam after Possum has a word to say about that. The Bowie is a truly spectacular must-hear version that brings the type I fury only to release into a lovely major key jam. I give this show the nod over the powerhouse that came the night before.

This is a decent show but when you consider some of the gems of this year and era... it's underwhelming overall. Far from a bad time, but if I was only going to one show in 03 and it was this one i think ide feel a bit gipped Check out the Boogie -> Cities -> Maze and also a solid water in the sky + disease in the first frame

Excellent MCass audience source available for this show. Things kick off with an upbeat Uncle Pen hoedown, followed by a smooth and well-played Foam. A solid Jim comes next, after which Trey remarks how happy they are to be back on the East Coast. Chalk Dust gets a spunky workout before Trey calls on Henrietta while Mike changes a bass string. Fish jokes, “let’s get this vac shit out of the way!” — and I have to say, his vacuum solos have been pretty entertaining the past couple of shows. Before Wilson, Trey invites Wesley onstage to wish him a happy birthday. Over the Wilson intro, Trey also shares how glad he is to have two of his closest friends, Molly and Shawn, in attendance. Wilson leads seamlessly into a gorgeous Divided Sky to close the set. Set two opens, for the second night in a row, with Tube into MSO. A strong Mike’s Groove follows, featuring a fun Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered tease from Trey during Groove. Reba delivers a beautiful jam, and DaaM includes Slice of Pizza, Mrs. Pizza Shit, and counting. Bowie closes the set in ripping fashion, complete with a playful hi-hat hijinks section. Just like the opener, the encore is a repeat from the previous show. As the crowd exits, Paul cues up Miles Davis’ Freddie Freeloader for the walkout music.

Excellent MCass audience source for this show — big thanks to Steve Logan for making it available. Landlady kicks things off with plenty of energy. Trey drops a Mrs. Pizza Shit quote in Wilson before the blap boom section. Fluffhead is well played, and Foam feels like it has a little extra spring in its step. There are a few shaky spots, but overall it’s a strong version. Stash features the first audience clap response that I’ve noticed, with a decent jam section to boot. Mike shows off an interesting tone in Ya Mar that I haven’t heard before, and Cavern makes for an inspired closer to set one. Tube opens set two and rolls into MSO, with Trey again quoting Mrs. Pizza Shit. A lively Gin follows, after which Fish informs the crowd that Phish is no more and that the last song was performed by Mrs. Pizza Shit. Trey cracks jokes at Fish’s expense while he talks. Brother keeps the momentum going, also featuring a Mrs. Pizza Shit reference. Sadly, the banter between Brother and YEM is completely missing from Relisten’s source. YEM itself is an absolute groove-fest, highlighted by a fun Brady Bunch tease from Mike. The VJ contains more Mrs. Pizza Shit quotes and a William Tell Overture tease, though the ending is cut on the Relisten version — unsure if the original source is complete. Horn brings things down nicely, before a ripping Chalk Dust reignites the room. The HYHU intro is inspired, with Trey teasing Sanity but noting Fish doesn’t know the words. Terrapin and its vac solo are great fun. In Llama, Trey announces “The Master of Restraint” for Page’s solo, and Mike’s bass finally punches in, prompting the band to stop for a little Cactus solo. A solid closer for the second set. Paul plays some Bela Fleck & the Flecktones as walkout music after a Glide/Rocky Top encore. Strong show from start to finish.

Nice digital audience recording. The sound levels adjust for the better during Cavern, though there’s another shift during Poor Heart in set two. Big thanks to Eric McRoberts for getting this source into circulation! Fishman kicks off the evening by announcing that they’re no longer called Phish, they’re now going by Mrs. Pizza Shit, which sets a goofy tone for the night. A pretty straightforward Chalk Dust opens the show, with Trey slipping in a Mrs. Pizza Shit quote before the jam. Melt is well played, and another Rhombus narrative leads smoothly into a soaring Sky. At the end of the set-closing Golgi, Trey lets the crowd know that Mrs. Pizza Shit is going to take a break. Fish reintroduces Mrs. Pizza Shit to open the second set, and Trey keeps the theme going with more quotes in Llama. Poor Heart gets another shout-out from Fish, staying in character. This set is fairly straightforward for the tour, but a solid Hood stands out as the highlight. Trey drops a few more Mrs. Pizza Shit references during the extended intro. Henrietta, a founding member of Mrs. Pizza Shit, delivers an inspired vacuum solo in Love You. Before the tune, Fish explains why he’s not wearing his Zero Man costume—apparently, the last time they played Trax, a girl in the front row pointed out that his balls were visible. Now he refuses to wear the outfit without a jock strap. Classic Fish. A decent Possum wraps up the set.

Fantastic digital audience source for this show. The energy kicks off strong with Wilson. Trey rips a great solo in Llama, and Reba is played with precision. During Brother, Trey references Kristy and then dedicates the song to his sister, who was in the audience: “We were thinking of you the whole time we played that song,” he says, classic Trey. The set closes with a shred-heavy, high-octane Jim. Set two opens with an inspired DaaM. Roll Like a Cantaloupe is solid throughout, with Trey dropping a Smells Like Teen Spirit quote during the Rye Rye Rocco section. It’s Ice features a slick jam, and Glide makes a rare mid-second-set appearance. Tweezer absolutely smokes, with more Teen Spirit nods from Trey. A smooth A-Train follows, complete with Frosty the Snowman and We Wish You a Merry Christmas teases. During HYHU, Trey contributes the guitar part on both the intro and outro, adding a unique touch. The set wraps with Lizards into a spirited Tweezer Rep. A spectacular YEM anchors the encore, complete with Chicken Sandwich and Hamburger/Cheeseburger raps. A+ sound, A+ show.

This is the 2nd time I’ve traveled from my home in Alaska and got an Alaska! Haha, always fun, always get shout outs from my friends, like, yeah, Alaska, they played it for just me!!! 😂 Shout out to anybody else from AK in Chicago for our Alaska! Cheers! N3 on the floor, halfway between sound board and stage, sometimes having the close spot really is the icing on the cake. I love United Center. Easy access, great city, and brilliant sound. Might be my favorite indoor venue I’ve attended. So much to unpack but I will only highlight one: Twist. After a short standard start, they went right into bliss, and this is the kind of bliss I love. A jam that stays in your head long after the show has ended. A jam that becomes a part of the soundtrack to my life. A jam that becomes an instant classic in the moment, bliss, joy, happiness, all the feels. Because life is not bliss, joy, and happiness all the time. I’ve had to live in the opposite of that for some time now, but being able to hold the hard things in life, and at the same time being able to hold on to the good vibe and energy of this beautiful Twist jam, well, for me, that’s what life is all about. It’s the kind of moment that attaches to the soul at that time and travels on as a part of the fabric of who you are. I love it. I needed it. It’s mine now. Thank you Phish. I was able to go to the 3 Chicago shows and the following 2 Forest Hills, there were many magnificent moments, but for me, this brief time of Twist was the bliss I needed more then you will ever know.

Trey continues to shine bright. I watched the stream last night hoping he'd get a chance to light things up with his current awesomeness, and he did not disappoint. The Mission in the Rain was a heady song choice to cover with TAB. It's played so tastefully. He could have crushed it, but chose the high road and kept it tight. The band sounded fantastic. An emotional and beautiful performance. The real highlight for me was when he came out to start set 2. I was in Chicago for GD50, and the peak moment of the whole run was Scarlet - esp Trey's leadership during the bridge jam to FOTM. Sadly, Hornsby came in early with the vocals (which he went on to crush, mind you, just gorgeous), and Trey was forced to skip that beautiful last wah wah part of the intro to Fire because of it. There was a sigh from the crowd. Opportunity missed! Fear not, tho - Trey got another shot at it last night and closed the loop. And by the look on his face and gentleness with which he played those sweet notes, he knew it. You might also recall that at GD50, Bobby abruptly cut off the last jam spot in FOTM at the end of the song. They cleaned that up last night as well. Trey to the rescue! Each jam in Fire got the full treatment. It was a joy to behold. The interplay between Trey and Mayer is dreamy. Who is better at talking musically to another guitar god in these pairings than Trey? Johnny boy was blown away. I did not watch much else of GD60 as I have a hard time with the slow pace. I'd bet my money tho that along with Sturgill Simpson's breathtaking rendition of Morning Dew, Trey's energy, playing and mastery of the patient exploration and ability to "ring those lofty bells" is the shining highlight of the 3 day celebration. Soak it up phriends!

This show ABSOLUTELY needs to be released as a LivePhish archival release. So many tasty nuggets of mid-90s Phish. The Theme From the Bottom alone was of course in the Bonnaroo '09 From the Archives, but there needs to be a crisp(ier) SBD release for us all to feast upon. Kevin Shapiro: please make it so!

The first set is basically a welcome set to one of the all time great 3 night runs in Phish history. The First Tube opener is a high energy way to kick things off before Bathtub Gin becomes the big hint that this is going to be a special weekend. Unbelievable jam here that turns into feel good hose. The rest of the set has the only flow issues of the weekend. Even so, there are highlights. BOAF hits a nice peak. The rendition of Strawberry Letter 23 is perfect. Lawn Boy is really fun and Mike shows off on his bass. Old Home Place is a nice nod to SPAC. Hey Stranger introduces the outer space theme for the weekend and has a great jam. Walls rips. The second set takes things to a different level. SYSF immediately locks in with Mike working his new pedal to create an ear worm groove before building to a nice peak. A solid segue into Chalk Dust launches things into orbit for 30 minutes. Unbelievably deep jamming lands in a beautiful BASOS that brings some heavy Jerry and Grateful Dead vibes. Piper emerges and absolutely blows the roof off of SPAC with a level of intensity in Trey’s playing that is rare to see these days. Everything’s Right brings it home with more solid exploration and a great set closing peak. Easily one of the finest sets of 2025 and it can hold its own with the best sets of 4.0. Loving Cup into Antelope is an excellent way to close out the first night of the immediately legendary 2025 SPAC run.

The most cohesive live music performance I’ve ever witnessed—an instant all-time great. You can debate its place in the pantheon of Phish shows, like arguing the ‘86 Celtics versus the ‘95-96 Bulls. Place it wherever you want in a room full of legendary performances, but I’m calling it the #1 post-hiatus show. It works flawlessly from the first note to the last—a masterpiece of live improvisational rock music.

Phish tapped into some special energy during the second set the night before. They were able to take that energy and turn it into full outer space exploration. Martian Monster>2001 felt like a statement and following 2001 with Mikes felt like a nod to 1993/1994. What a Mikes it was. Engaging funk turns into the NIB teasing and menacing rock out. Great placement for Wading to shake things up. The energy was kept high for Weekapaug, Sand, and MFMF. NMINML was a nice rager to close the set with fun happy birthday teasing for CK5. Great first set. The second set is something else. Oblivion>DWD is a masterpiece with unique sounds, great themes, and just an absolutely wild segment with Mike on drill and Fish on Marimba Lumina that was basically like being lost in space. Light was very well done with nice space effects in the intro, a strong jam and extra mustard on the concluding vocals. Speaking of extra mustard, Life Saving Gun absolutely blows the roof off the place like the Piper the night before. Incredible stuff. Waste was nice and Fluffhead had Fishman going crazy during the Bundle of Joy before Trey explodes at The Arrival. Basically a perfect second set. Nothing like a Rock and Roll encore to close out a fantastic night of Phish.

Totally blown away is all I can say. The boys brough some serious heat to the Spa and I couldn't of been more glad. Night 2 and 3 are on equal grounds as far as I'm concerned. That Mikes....oh that Mikes....and there's so much more....get the tapes, high quality maxells and get to recording you will be hard pressed to find a better 3 day run and to have it at my hometown shed just makes me love this band all the more to pieces. We love you Phish

Brief "Waiting All Night" tease from Gordo in Everything's Right (he hits the song's bass line verbatim) for a few measures. Sick 2nd set! Thanks, Phish, for putting this on YouTube. Apparently, this isn't long enough to qualify for a review, according to Phish.net. So I'm writing more now, because I just wanted to share that little tease. Soo.....

This show is an all time classic regardless of the era. It's hard to believe they can play a show like this 42 years into their career as a band. There was never a lull in the energy, and the Tweezer Reprise gag wasn't overdone. Each reprise that popped up throughout the show had the same mood as the song or jam they came out of along with extra improvisational flourishes. The Roses jam was an absolute treat. The Split Open and Melt light show was insane. Kill Devil Falls>Twist would be a standout moment in any show but here it seems like a small footnote as it is overshadowed by the massive 20+ minute Tweezer Reprise (which could be seen as a 30 minute Golden Age) that follows. The death metal return at the end of the big second set Tweeprise is what dreams are made of. Putting Tweezer in the encore with the "Do you get it?" sample was hilarious and to follow it up with a Harry Hood while resisting the urge to pop into another Tweezer Reprise is perfection. Despite the amazing gag, it is the unbelievable playing by the band that makes this show extra special. It is rare for the band to play an entire show where the energy builds and builds with every song but they somehow managed to do it. A+ Phish.

This was my 33rd Anniversary of my first Phish show also at SPAC. It is truly amazing to see how these 4 guys have grown in that time. This show was a masterclass in improvisational jamming. The show deserves all of the praise it gets because it was truly one of the most incredible nights of music I have ever witnessed. Hats off to The Phish from Vermont for still bringing the heat…Cheers!

It was an amazing show. Instead of playing songs that happened to include jams, it felt like they were playing one continuous thematic jam, with songs as pit stops along the way—always returning to the central musical thread. And I don’t just mean the “Reprise,” which was great. I’m talking about all the type 2 jamming. It was incredibly coherent and clear, constantly developing new motifs while staying grounded in a unifying theme. This was Phish at an exceptional level—locked in at the end of a long tour. I felt lucky to be there. It brought me back to the feeling of the Island Tour or the second half of summer 2015, culminating in Night 2 of Magnaball.

The day began with a drenching rain falling on our tents around 3am and continued well into the morning, then drizzling throughout the early afternoon. Bathing in the waters of Saratoga Lake surrounded by other phans in the light rain was a beautiful way to settle into the day. Around 4 in the afternoon the sun broke out and erased all thoughts of skipping the lot. Rolled in around 5 - there was a golden light and haze of humidity hanging over everything that gave the whole scene an otherworldly glow. Too many wonderful interactions with strangers to list. As someone else mentioned, Buried Alive is almost always a harbinger of a sick show to follow. I immediately thought of 12/29/18. The first Reprise and subsequent jam brought with it a palpable electricity in the crowd and an early dawning realization that "Oh sh*t - this is gonna be one of THOSE shows..." And it was. One of the best first sets I have ever seen, incredibly and unexpectedly emotional for me. The Reba, The Roses... all infused with an absolutely classic, Phishy sense of an inside joke that we were all in on. It felt very old school in that way, but laced with blazing 3.0/4.0 energy. Flawless playing and segues that turned on a dime. At setbreak, the chatter was "how the F do they follow up that set? If they manage to, this will be an all-timer!" And it was. KDF and Twist jams were for me the least interesting segment of the show, but from Golden Age onwards the quality of the 2nd set absolutely matched the first.. Have not yet listened back, but wow. Most everyone knew the Tweezer encore was coming but assumed it would be a big Tweezer>Reprise to finish. The Hood instead was a glorious, beautiful, and heartfelt way to cap it all of, as it always is. IMO, this show deserves a 4.6 and belongs in there with 12/30/19 and some of the other recent behemoths - heck, it belongs in there with some of the great 1.0 moments. A classic Phish show to treasure for years. 50th show for me and I could not have possibly drawn up on paper or in my mind a more perfect show experience to mark the milestone. Thanks to everyone in attendance for being a part of it. This band and this community are the best thing going and I feel beyond grateful that we are still doing this, and that it is still this GOOD!

Not too much to add.. still processing this crazy night. Just want to throw in… this show had some of the smoothest, most exciting, surprising, and inventive segues I have ever heard. Pretty much each one had my whole group wigging out, and even when it became somewhat of a “gag”, the ways in which they weaved back into the Tweeprise were mind blowing in the moment (and have held up to repeated relistens). The energy was off the charts all show. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one saying they could’ve called it after the first set and it still would have been an epic, beyond memorable night. Jammed out Roses, extra patient Melt, the KDF Twist, and an extra juiced up Hood offering more outstanding moments to complete a top to bottom insane show (plenty of other highlights as well). One of those nights where you leave wondering wtf just happened. Beyond grateful to be there. Coming off two top shelf shows nights 1/2… what a time to be a Phan.

This review isn’t about Tweezer. We all take time off to see Phish and to commune with each other. I am a song chaser. I get a bit bummed some times when they don’t play this or that. Sunday I was hoping to hear “Mexican Cousin” or maybe something rad as fuck like “The Dogs”. And then Phish played a show where as much as some may say Tweezer this that that and the other thing, for the first time ever I heard a show where songs came out of the energy we put in. Trey was locked in and smiling ear to ear from the get go and there was a sort of admission among us that said, “this is going to be unforgettable!” It didn’t matter which song was next. We were all intimately connected Sunday night. We burned it down and set our souls free. The songs were more like tributes to that energy as it grew throughout the night…..with tons of direct light. I will find people in the future who were there and we will commune over this show. I have no doubt that those rumination’s will connect us again and we will have a greater love for one another because of it. Sunday will be rebered for more than just being the banger or the best show ever, i mean it was to me but the connection we got from each other can only be matched never overcome. As for as the glorious people I became Phamily to at Lee’s this weekend. I will never let you question how much I love all of you. All of you and a little ol’ band called Phish mended my soup in a way I can never repay. And as an added bonus Jay got sticks personally delivered to him by Fish.

When they open w Buried Alive you're almost guaranteed one hell of a show and tonight that is exactly what they delivered. After 2 solid shows that were filled with fun vibes and big jams, Phish does what only Phish can do and they throw down an absolute banger of a show that's so unpredictably good that even the most jaded long time fans are left nearly speechless. Hard to point out specific highlights when the whole show is a highlight. And even though Saturday's show was filled with some of my personal favorites, tonight the song selection couldn't have been better; no bathroom break songs, some of their best covers and a bunch of the compositional old school classics that were all played to near perfection, the entire night filled with big spacey jams and funky dance vibes, all held together with Tweprises galore! They sent us off w the first ever Tweezer encore and a beautiful Hood. Feel good? yes, we do.. Thank you! Overall this show is just a prime example of why we love this band so much, it should definitely go down as one of the best

This is my first time leaving a review. I've been to many many many Phish shows and I have to admit that I love those special shows when the band breaks out of "the norm" (whatever that is) and does something that is truly, genuinely new. I was at the SPAC show on 6/19/10 when they opened with Tweeprise. I was at Deer Creek last year when they unintentionally did a "Down with Disease Fest" because Trey flubbed the ending in the first attempt. Stuff like that is what makes those shows memorable for me. Last night was a perfect example. I'll spare everyone a "TL/DR" review and just say that it blows my mind that after seeing this band for 26 years I still walk away with the biggest smile on my face (and that's without the help of any substances). Reversing the context of Tweezer and Tweeprise is one of those hilarious low-hanging-fruit ideas that makes you think "the idea was right there in front of us all along and yet nobody saw this idea coming." That's what makes me smile. The band just knows how to scratch that itch.

I have relatively little to add to all of the superlatives that others have contributed. This show was top to bottom, one of the most fun Phish shows I’ve ever seen (first was Darien Lake 1997). Straight up fire, dance party, and whimsical Phish hijinks throughout with a tremendous punchline. For the sake of historical documentation, I headed up to soundcheck around 3:30, once the showers had passed. It was serene listening to them jam with the geyser brook creek flowing over rocks. Towards the end of the soundcheck around 4, they were playing and stopped frequently, with the words “You Get It?” following. It happened multiple times, but thought nothing of it beyond some insider joke. After finally hearing the punchline during encore did it make sense that they were practicing their bit. This one is for the memory books and I’m so grateful to see this band continuing long into their career.

Incredible show! Is it possible this was a callback (with related reprise adjustment) to another 7/27 Tweezer infused delight, from MPP in 2014? Below is 7/27/2014 setlist for reference. What a great summer…cheers to many future tours to come. _______ PHISH, SUNDAY 07/27/2014 MERRIWEATHER Columbia, MD Soundcheck: Sand Jam, Waiting All Night SET 1: Fee[1], The Curtain With, 46 Days, 555, My Sweet One, Sand, Bouncing Around the Room, Saw It Again > Fuego, You Enjoy Myself SET 2: Wilson > Tweezer -> Back on the Train -> Tweezer -> Back on the Train -> Tweezer > Waiting All Night, Free -> Tweezer -> Simple -> Tweezer -> Free > Catapult > Slave to the Traffic Light -> Down with Disease -> NICU -> Jam -> Hold Your Head Up -> Jennifer Dances -> Hold Your Head Up, I Been Around ENCORE: Boogie On Reggae Woman > Tweezer Reprise

[b]GOLDEN YEARS[/b] Something pretty special just happened on the [url=https://phish.net/setlists/phish-july-27-1992-saratoga-performing-arts-center-saratoga-springs-ny-usa.html]33rd anniversary of Phish's very first show at SPAC[/url], opening for Carlos Santana in 1992. Whether you’re tuning in the day after this show to try and sort things out while I do the same and write this, or you’re a time traveller scouring the archive for anchors and milestones to try and decode the inter-dimensional shower of blessings that is Phish, I’ll do my best to try and leave some kind of appropriate trace on the walls of the cave here, so-to-speak. On that note, if you do start here (and why not?), please do make sure and check out the previous two nights of this instantly historical run at SPAC in 2025. While it started innocently enough on Set 1 on 7/25, things warmed up very quickly after that, as [url=https://phish.net/blog/1753646577/spac2-recap-saved-by-the-prince-of-darkness.html]my review of 7/26[/url] will attest. If you want to think in even broader context, go back to Mexico 2024 immediately following the Gamehendge bookend. Something started there that emerged fully formed on 7/27/25 and blew a Tweezerprise-bomb-sized-hole in the fabric of the Universe. Of course, by that token, to fully understand what happened last night I suppose you would also go back to the Bomb Factory in 94, or the SPAC shows a decade following that, so we should probably stop playing this game and get to it. Suffice it to say: yes folks, based on these shows, Phish's 'golden years' are much also among their ... golden years. Rather than do a play-by-play breakdown (which feels almost masochistic given the state I’m in after three nights of throwing down—sober, mind you), I’ll try and sum things up with 6 key points (one for every Tweeprise in the setlist, why not..) 1) Sure, this looks like a ‘fun’ show on paper. The band has played tons of fun shows with themes and gags that weave in and out of the performances, most notably among them the various ‘Tweezerfests.’ While this show obviously had a Tweezer-related thread and gag (‘do you get it?’), to suggest that this is what made the show would be a criminal oversight. 2) This show is almost all incredible type II jams. Tweeprise #1, Roses, 46 Days, Melt, KDF, Twist, Tweeprise #2 (!) showcase the band having coalesced a ‘25 sound that is reminiscent of both the space-shredding of 2021, the fusion and funk of the best of 2.0, and the punchy hose of 95 thirty years prior, and the haunting space chants of Bowies of yore. They have not sounded quite like this all year. It has shown up in fits and starts alongside other less-interesting jamming habits that often dominated 2022-2024. It all came together at SPAC this weekend, and really gelled last night. 3) The type II Tweeprise jams aside, the way it was used in songs like Reba, Melt, Roses, etc was really tight and complementary, rather than being a distraction. So many worthwhile details, the Reba-peak, Fish’s nod to the Reba ending while still holding the Tweeprise, which he would do again in when closing the Melt. Chef’s kiss. 4) The details on the rest of the performance are no less impressive. When the band is really on, and they know it, and the crowd knows it, and a feedback loop is created that powers every moment of the show with nary a dip. The Funky Bitch, the About to Run, the Boogie On, you think these are skippable? Think again. Which brings me to.. 5) If you’re scanning the reviews here to see what highlights from the show you should check out, just stop. Stop right now. You’re not allowed to do that. I know it’s 2025 and your teen only listens to 30 second clips of songs on TikTok, let alone a whole song, but I’m sorry. You have to play this one starting at the Buried Alive, and take it to home to the Hood. Don’t worry, the actual Tweezer is only 5 minutes. 6) Oh yeah, about that Tweezer. First time they ever encored with it, wouldn't you know? That's pretty cool. 🤯

Unless you took the brown acid, wound up in a self-induced deep, dark, unstable black hole vortex-of-your-mind and rolling around on the back of the spac lawn covered in dirt, mud, spilled beer, and glow stick juice from a little kid who just tore into his glowstick with his bare teeth, then there is really no reason you wouldn't rate this show 5 stars. Not sure what else you could want from this band.

I only hit the Sunday show of this run, having not seen the band since Manchester III earlier this tour. The Tweepriserfest from this show was like a continuation of the Tweezerfest from 6/22/25. Absolutely massive. Huge Mike bomb in KDF if you're aroused by such things. Easy 5 stars, onward and upward.
