Coming at the start of the final set of the band’s four-night run at Madison Square Garden, the opening notes of “Tweezer” certainly whirled the New York crowd into something of a frenzy. Phish played an absolutely gorgeous version of the song, moving fluidly through various improvisational notions.
Fortunately for us fans, the group has shared pro-shot footage of this jam that clocked in just shy of 22 minutes. Watch it below:
Between this and some of the other highlights throughout the run, it’s clear that no one can jam quite like Phish. Perhaps they’ve learned a thing or two after 32+ years creating music together…
