11/22/97 and 11/17/97 are probably at the top of my list. But can't forget about 12/14/95, 12/1/94 and 6/22/95 (FLEEZER).

6/14/95. Wildly experimental. Soaring opening section, and gets downright scary at times. Gypsy Queen Jam in there, the whole thing is just ridiculous.

OP, your question is like asking, "Which piece of bacon out of the slab is the best?" No one piece, no matter the balance and symmetry of crunchy/chewy/fatty/savory can suffice.In some particular order:
12.2.95
9.3.11
2.28.03
12.30.10

Been listening a lot to the Nassau Tweezer...2/28/03 I believe...was at the show and pretty much the only thing I remember was being how pumped I was to hear Destiny and the crowds delayed reaction...those that knew what was going on...luckilly since 3.0 have grown up quite a bit and go to the shows just for the music....it's been nice though revisiting this gem

Search Feature Tweezer.That one is the best by far.

It seems as though no one has mentioned the Camden 09', which I though was pretty stelar, for a 3.0 version! What are the favorite 3.0 Tweezers?
Score: 0
I'm a huge fan of 12.6.97but one that not many people have heard that's worth about 25 listens is 12.29.92 Curtain -> Tweezer. It's not the longest but it's pure early-90's mayhem... it's awesome.

2.28.03 here.But I could pull a bunch.
The beautiful messes of 5.7.94 and 10.30.10 need to be mentioned. Certainly not "best ever" material, but absolutely among the most noteworthy.
OP, are you aware of this site's jamming charts? From the top menu, choose Music -> Charts -> Jamming Charts, then pick a song. Quite the resource.

Let's not forget Red Rocks 09. This is a really atypical humorous jam and I love it. Again, not best ever material, but one of my personal fav's and well worth the listen.

That second set beats out any set from the Island Tour in my eyes.

Maybe not my "favorite" but one I listened to recently and really dug: 6/9/00, Tokyo. Felt like a Tweezer from the mid-90s, with some 99,2000 flavor. Really nice.

By far the best Tweezer I've seen. It had me jumping up and twirling around. Love the way the early par tof jam falls apart quick leaving just Mike's bass line, then another little full band riff, then falls back to the bass line.

@Sprachtor said: Hmmm. I am the only one to go with 11-28-94. SacrilegeSometimes those earlier Tweezer's can be a hit or miss for me. That early type II can get pretty rough at times.
And the SBiX Tweezer had a lot of potential in my eyes but they were just a bit off I think and never quite locked in and took it where it could have gone.

If this is a miss, you are doing Phish wrong. This Jam is like 12-29-94 Bowie's father.

I'll check it out but I can't promise anything. What is it like relative to ALO?

@mgh2001 said: I'll check it out but I can't promise anything.A live one is good, this one is better. It's not drifty aimless stuff. It's rhythmic, gritty, dark, jazzy, and has a killer peak at the end.

@Sprachtor said: Hmmm. I am the only one to go with 11-28-94. SacrilegeI've only heard it once, I remember it being very good though with a sweet end jam. Along with the Bowie from two nights previous, both very similar jams. I'll give that Tweezer a listen later, thanks for the Youtube post.

My favorites are 12/6/97, 12/2/95, 12/1/94, and 11/28/94. 11/28/94 is long, but amazing. I see @Sprachtor already linked up the audio from my youtube channel. Everyone should hear it at least once.

I just listened to this thing again. The jams going into and out of the DDLJ are disgusting.

I like the funky groove try get into then trey blows it apart with some ear piercing licks and it pretty much killed the groove.

I might just listen to Tweezers all day at work. That would make for a nice little Friday.Actually, given the date this idea is elevating from "Nice Little Friday" to "Moral Imperative".

That's what I like. Sometimes those early type II jams can be hit or miss, Trey is just starting to really work with effects and isn't quite as smooth as the later years.

Counting favorite Tweezers is like counting stars in the sky.I might be alone on this, but the album version from Pic of Nectar is my favorite.
I think it's one of, if not the strongest studio recordings they ever did.

I think November 28th might be the band's favorite day of the year... some monster shows have gone down on that date over the years.The 94 Tweezer
The 97 YEM, Ghost, BEK and Timber
The 09 Seven Below > Ghost, SOAM, YEM
I'm sure there are more

11/28/94 is the best of the beeg Juans, by a longshot. 6/14/95 and 6/22/95 don't suck, but to my ears they just aren't anywhere near as interesting or dynamic.
7/6/94 tops my list at the moment. The thematic jamming is off the hook!
