Friday has come back around, bringing ten more songs to kick off your weekend. This round, I featured musical couplets, delivering ten tracks in five selections. This week, I mixed a couple post-hiatus highlights into the mix,. Enjoy the pairings and have a great weekend!

“Tweezer > Lifeboy” 6.23.94 II
This is the third consecutive version of “Lifeboy” that dripped out of “Tweezer” during June 1994. This “Tweezer” features prominent jamming on Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love.” (Excuse the nasty tape flip at the end of “Tweezer.”

“Timber Ho!, Jam > Taste” 11.30.96 II
A rare time when a guest enhanced a show, Peter Apfelbaum, on tenor sax, added a whole new element to this sequence, pushing the vibe in the direction of Phish fusion.

“Suzy Greenberg > Theme” 12.28.03 II
On the first night of Miami ’03, this unlikely combo formed a significant chunk of set two. Diving far from the structure of “Suzy,” the band entered a menacing passage in which Trey offered a stunning guitar confessional.

One of few highlights from ’03’s Turkey Run that stands the test of time.

“Makisupa > David Bowie” 10.29.95 II
A devestating “Bowie” from the night before Halloween ’95, in Louisville, Kentucky.
