The Disco Biscuits are the epitome of a jam band. Each time they play a song, it has a completely different jam than the time they played it before. No cookie cutter nonsense at all. They play into and out of different songs and you never know what kind of setlist you're going to get.

And this is why Tahoetweezer made me realize how much I loathe 3.0. Because very rarely does Phish actually leave that arena-rock, cookie-cutting comfort zone and jam out and improv. on stage. The one time they do we have to hear about it every day for months and Jam ON has to play it 3 times a day. Because Phish, for the first time in forever, did what bands like the Disco Biscuits do every time they get on stage. And they only did it for one song. The Biscuits shows are full of teases, fakeouts, segues, and inverted jams. People get sick of paying to hear the same 5 minute long Bouncing Around the Room, Cavern, Chalkdust, Character Zero, Fee, Golgi, Prince Caspian, Sample in a Jar, Sparkle, Suzy, Tweezer Reprise, Wilson, etc. Think about everything you love about jazz; improv., tangents, vocal-less story telling, surprises, etc. and realize that you won't find that in most Phish shows and you'll find it at every Disco Biscuits show. No song is played the same way twice and every show has a different vibe/mood. If I hear another Possum I'm going on a shooting spree.
