"Tweezer" lives on A Picture of Nectar, the third Phish album and the band's first for a major label, which Elektra released on February 18, 1992. The writing credit is split four ways, between Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell and drummer Jon Fishman, and Phish produced it themselves, with Jon Altschiller and Tom Walters assisting on the engineering.

The album around it refuses to sit still, careening from calypso and jazz to country, neo-psychedelia and plain old rock and roll, and it's dedicated to Nector Rorris, who ran Nectar's in Burlington, Vermont. That's the club that gave Phish its first bar gig and then a string of monthly three-night stands, the stretch the band credits with teaching them how to play.
