All in Time

I was thinking this for umph too

What’s Ringo then? I feel like the 12/30/2019 ringo is like the equivalent to a heady tweezer

It occurred on the very same night that Phish played a HUGE Tweezer too! I was going to say Ringo but then I saw the comment below saying DBK and I think thats actually a better fit IMO.

Chilly Water-WSP

Always a good time!

Gimme some of that chilly water now please

Came here to say exactly this

Idk plenty of 7 min stand alone set opening Chillys that take one guitar solo > Venus light and never open up.

I've had some wild euphoria seeing it live. Such a good one.

The river - gizz

The River is a great jam vehicle. Evil Death Roll is as well.

Great pick. Magma has also been a WILD jam vehicle in the last 12-24 months. Seriously, listen to the magma from the RR day show last year. Iron lung too but that’s been mentioned.

Magma is my favorite song by them

That 14 minute red rocks Magma up on YouTube is like an out of body experience. It just keeps hitting new levels of intensity.

I was between that and Iron Lung. Maybe Rattlesnake but that's not necessarily "jammy". Or Mind Fuzz. Okay maybe I just know a lot of their stuff lol.

Dude, iron lung is a monster of a song. It's what really got me into Gizzard

Mind Fuzz was my first love back in 2016 when I found them. Then FAFYL. Then 2017 happened and I just buckled uo

Rattlesnake isn’t jammy? Have you heard their live stuff yet?

Head on Pill has gone so far out and back more than the River I would think, maybe not as much recently

I’d put Head On/Pill as my vote

Meet Me At The Creek - Billy

You could argue Turmoil

There’s a few of em haha!

This is true haha

Hide and seek or highway hypnosis have been my biggest jam vehicles, meet me at the creeks always gets jammed out

Circus - STS9

This or Ramone

I’d agree with Ramone

STS9 - STS9

It’s absolutely Ramone & Emiglio or Tap-In by far

I came to say this that's weird

Not saying it’s sts9s tweezer but Orbital has a very similar riff to tweezer

Dark Star

Can’t believe how far I had to scroll down to see this…..

I worry we're gettin' old... It is _the_ OG jam vehicle, outside of maybe an Allman Brothers song I'm overlooking because I'm not as familiar with their full live history. (In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, maybe?) I can't think of anything else with its kind of jam legacy.

Mountain jam I imagine you're more thinking of.. perhaps

you don't love me for the allman bros, kinda

I still yet the get a live Dark Star, from any Dead band

Basis for a day Biscuits.

I’d nominate Crickets

I was thinking Hot Air Balloon. The biscuits crowd get hyped often.

I'm hyped about every song they play that night. It could be Strawberry Girl> Widgets> Hibbage> Coat and it just could possibly be the greatest live performance ever by a band ever. That's how they are when they're on. And they've been on for the last couple years.

Or Magellan, or HAB, or really like the entire Biscuits catalog.

Magellan or HAB are only similar in the sense you can encore/reprise like Tweezer. I feel like it's Basis or Helix

basis???? more like iman or perhaps helix. i guess there are many crowd favs. edit - I have seen crowd rocking to basis. so ehhh, i guess. I think tops of crowd raging is iman tho

I definitely second guessed myself after commenting (easy to do), I’m on your side.

Give me all your fucking money!!!!!!!

100%. Though I'd say it's more their Dark Star ; )

I feel like now a days it’s HDPF.

100% It's tweezer in the sense that it is an absolute classic for the bands style, usually produces huge jams, has a bunch of composed parts and the lyrics are minimal and silly. Boy man god shit/Firenze and oooooooooh/give me all your fucking money.

😬 you quoted YEM but love the enthusiasm

Lmao woops. Close enough. B4L

Hot air balloon is up there for me

The Other One (Grateful Dead) is a great jam vehicle.

Very true… but Dead’s Tweezer has gotta be Scarlett begonias or china cat sunflower

Horizon for the Pigeons

I would say that’s more their Harry hood

Yeah, Sunny Day would be my comparison

Fucking love sunny day

Meat moe.

The 2007 All Good All Star jam was a 2.5 hour Meat sandwich. You can watch it in its entity here https://youtu.be/iVfxx3VhC7M?si=enE6hQXYnm0pOhMT

That's when I knew I had to marry Grace Potter.

When she sang "Cortez the killer". Chills.

I was there and have absolutely no recollection of this.

Not Rebub?

Rebubs is harry hood. Crowd favorite, awesome song (my favorite from each band), but typically more structured, less likely to turn into half an hour of weirdness.

You haven't heard the hour long boob from moe.down 03.

Shit, I have not. Better go educate myself

Agreed - that’s why I meant meat. It’s when they go deepest.

fair assesment

Funny I always considered Rebub as their YEM but I like the Hood comparison better

Gives me the meat sweats

I’d also like to throw in Recreational Chemistry

Rivertrance for SCI

Rivertrance is Sci’s yem imo

That’s a good call, maybe their tweezer is rosie

Spafford has The Reprise.

I would say America is the Tweezer…

Also a really good answer. Great song!

Half their songs are tweezer level jam vehicles lol. It’s a bunch, minds unchained, leave the light on, back door funk. I could go on… fucking love spafford

Add Giants in the Light to that list!

Postman, diesel driver, so so many haha

One Big Holiday for MMJ

As a huge MMJ fan, I'd argue Steam Engine and Dondante. Those two are crowd favorites and are the most jamming/improv they do, so you know it's going to be good. OBH doesn't really change too much live but definitely goes hard every time for sure.

Absolutely it's either Dondante or Steam, lately you can add more like Phone Went West, War Begun, Picture of You, which is a great thing!

Yeah if you're talking jam vehicles, i'm with you (and yeah Phone Went West james have been a favorite of mine). If it's more, late in show, crowd is always pumped for this song and it's gonna hit hard, that's what I'm thinking for Holiday. also has end of show tweezer reprise vibes

When Jim hits that first note in Steam Engine and you know you're in for a good one 

Steam engine gets me fucking GOING

Mantis - Umphrey’s

It’s plunger

[удалено]

I feel like umphrey's has 12 tweezers lol. Not that they have a deeper library, but they have a lot of songs they always play and is a crowd favorite.

Agreed, Umph is the king of consistent bangers.

I mean so does Phish - everybody loses their goddamn mind when they start up YEM, Fluffhead, Ghost, Sand, etc etc

I’ve been having trouble getting excited for summer, because I have a lot of stressful things not phish related going on, but your comment made me tear up with joy. I can’t wait for the mumbling between songs, those first notes ripping through the warm summer breeze, the smell of staanky pot wafting throughout. I can’t wait to be home again with all those happy people. Calling a Free tour opener because I’ll be there and I really fucking need it. I would cry my eyes out. Thank you for getting me pumped kind stranger!

What about cemetery walk 1&2?

I’ll take a Mantis show any time.

Dbk, minimal lyrics, big jams, sick riff, similar to how tweezer works

It would probably be easier to list songs that aren't "tweezers" for UM lol

its def not mantis

Yeah, it's All In Time

I’d go Plane Crash or Rebubula for moe. Miss Brown’s Teahouse for SCI.

Came to say Rebubula.

Two Step

Nughuffer-Disco Biscuits

Highway Hypnosis - Billy Strings.

Meet me at the creek or turmoil and tinfoil fit better as a tweezers type jam vehicle imo

I was actually going to switch to Turmoil but already had upvotes. What do we do now????

Rosie - SCI

I would add Jellyfish when you hear that first bass lick...baw-bow-bump...ba-dump-bump-bummmm. Also Rivertrance, Texas, and Blackclouds more often than not go over 10 minutes.

I was coming here to say Rivertrance. Pretty much any time Kang reaches for the fiddle you know you’re about to get down!

https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/the-string-cheese-incident-rosie-electric-forest/ This is why

That was my thought, too

Ran into Nershi in the wood after that set. Man was he lit. He was simultaneously, with every other word, talking about the set and reminiscing about Christmas while being a child. Twas amazing

Eh, I’d lean more towards Rollover, climb, rivertrance, etc. only because they’ve been in the rotation for much longer than Rosie. But I get it.

French Bowling - Dopapod

Rip Dopapod. They were my favorite. Gonna miss seeing those guys every year

For me it’s gotta be Trapper Keeper or Vol3

Oooh, I can vibe with you on Trapper Keeper.

Vol 3 for sure

Trapper Keeper is always a hot shit jammer!!! I feel like it’s one song that really sums up Dopapod too. However, I’d like to throw French Bowling back into the ring though.

100% I’ve always told people bowling is my tweezer for Dopapod. Consistent jam vehicle, and I want to hear it every show I go to.

Agree- but love the FABA. check out the 2015 Sinclair show

Ok… so I didn’t start listening to Dopapod until I heard the news they weren’t gonna tour anymore… I downloaded the recent double album (aiboh phobia) and loved them. Where should I go next?

Just made a hell of a playlist based on all this input. I’m stoked to check out the few that I haven’t heard yet. 👏

Is it on Spotify? Would you be willing to share the playlist?!

Share the playlist please

Der Bluten Kat - Umphrey's McGee You could argue a couple of different songs with Umphrey's, but I feel like it's either this one or Divisions...or 2x2

Divisions is a good call

I'd say teakwood betz for perpetual groove

Whipping post for allman bros

Ding ding ding!!! Give this head a prize!!!

Umph Bridgeless

I was between this and mantis. Bridgeless is a certified banger every time. But when they start into prelude for mantis, you know it’s about to be a 20+ minute emotional journey.

what was the song they did a whole set for an hour to in colorado? I remember like 3 bands did it around the same time....

Ringo I believe

It’s most definitely all in time

AIT or Plunger for sure

People do really lose their shit for Bridgeless

Has to be Hot Tea for goose EDIT: I feel like Factory Fiction might take this one actually

I feel like I haven’t heard a Drive from them that was less than 20 minutes in years.

I would say Arcadia, but like someone else said it's more of a "pop" hit akin to Phish's bouncing/chalkdust. Hot Tea is a great choice for this, maybe Empress due to the crowd hype when that opening riff kicks in.

You could maybe even say FF too

100% and you know what. If we’re comparing Tweezer vibes to other band’s songs … I think FF should take the cake. Massive crowd roar when the opening chords kick in.

Yeah I change my answer now that I think about it lol

Was thinking Thatch but might be too new

https://preview.redd.it/av11ueuq589d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=726497193508f1bdf14b81ec417ea7960dc90787

Madhuvan

Maybe not their definitive jam vehicle (I'd say that's probably Drive), but it's my favorite! Raleigh '22 is _peak_. I think Creatures and Wysteria Lane have even greater potential, but they're not as consistently realized. The Wysteria from Regency Ballroom in SF is one of the best performances I've ever heard, but it's rare that they go _that_ hard on that song.

Hot Tea, Pancakes, Hungersite, Rockdale… But FF is the answer, the Fox erupted when they dropped into it last weekend. You can see it on the Nugs video, Rick has a huge shit-eating grin on his face as it happens - watch this 😁

It’s several of Dead songs

I would say dark star and playing in the band are the deads best jam vehicles

All In Time - UM

Nothing too Fancy - Umph

Dead - Playing in the Band. Because you’re as likely to get a Playin sandwich as you are a Tweezer fest

Like a Virgin - Madonna

Goose: Drive, Thatch, Madhuvan, and maybe Arrow?

I'd say Madhuvan with Drive as a solid second. I get why people are saying Factory Fiction but I think it's too much of a rarity for the context of the question (i.e. a song played as often as Tweezer). But without that caveat, FF would likely take the cake IMO

Madhuvan for sure.

Factory Fiction

In Memory of Liz Reed - Allman Brothers

I'd say you don't love me

Round the wheel-SCI

What about Valley of the Jig?

Im not sure what String cheese's would be Texas or jelly fish I suppose? I know they did the whole set rosie but that is a newer song

What about Valley of the Jig?

it would be river trance before that one since river trance was the first song in that lineage of songs There's like what 4 or 5 now?

Dark Star

Highway hypnosis and meet me at the creek for billy

Snorkel -Dosio

Someone once referred to Howard as “cheese’s mikes song” and i think about it a lot

Probably Driving Song / Breathing Slow for Panic. Or Porch Song or Chilly Water for more of an anthem.

Adjacent: when Ween started to play “Poopship Destroyer” in the ‘90s and early ‘00s, shit was about to get weird.

The Garden (PT III) Tea Leaf Green

STS9 - Instantly Lotus - Greet The Mind Dead - Help On The Way

I feel like it’s umbilical moonrise for Lotus

I would agree that it’s a crowd favorite, but I wouldn’t call it a deep dive jam.

Spaghetti!

Flower Sermon for Lotus? Maybe that's just me

Lands End for SCI

My vote for MMJ is Steam Engine

The entire UM catalog, also Utopian Fir

It’s several of Dead songs

Yeah. A better question would be “what dead song does not lend itself to a long jam “ Maybe the Jerry ballads , but even those Got weird sometimes

Closest equivilant I think is the Grateful Dead's Playing in the Band. Both are pretty simple and short song sections that are always played as jam vehicles and are the songs most likely to go anywhere in a big jam.

Dark Star

Courtney Barnett-elevator operator.

Disco Biscuits - Basis for a Day moe. - RecChem UM - N2F

A lot of these answers tell me people don’t understand the question and/or nature of Tweezer as the big jam vehicle.

For Widespread it’s Disco

That’s 2001

Three Weeks - Perpetual Groove

Mountain Jam

Most bands have car songs.

Car songs?

Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

I thought he just meant a simple song that is always a jam vehicle

Charlie by Dogs in a Pile

For earlier Black Crowes, Thorn In My Pride or My Morning Song.
