Let’s talk about John Mayer’s voice. You know the one—those goopy dulcet tones on “Your Body is a Wonderland”, soft and sweet as taffy including all the leftover stickiness that makes you feel like you better go brush your teeth afterward.

When carved out from Phish’s wider on-stage catalog, the Tweezer pantheon alone could merit a dissertation of comparative analysis. On top we have the near-consensus GOAT, the Tahoe Tweezer soaring high above the firmament to inspire everything from Ric Flair “woo” memes to painstakingly elegant grand piano compositions.
