WEEN

[the_wizzard]

We have tickets for tomorrow night's show here in P-town. I was actually thinking of bailing on the show as of last night for other reasons. But I have had friends with serious drug problems and I don't find it entertaining to spend $50 to see someone completely cracked out attempt to play a show. 
I find this very sad, and think in the interest of making the 'right' decision, they should cancel the tour. But canceling tours pisses off fans and costs money, so I guess we will have to see what happens tonight. I am sure he has suffered from one hellofa hangover today  :-\

Yeah dood this is really-

A Tender Situation.....

I was lurking at work all night reading about the craziness here.... that picture.... wheeewwwww..... c'mon Gener, is this what Deaner Was Talking About?

It's so weird watching their changes through the years...  I haven't glanced yet at the Ween forum, but sounds a bit crazy....

These guys have had one of the biggest 'impacts' on me through mid-teenage-hood and beyond.... I listened to White Pepper when it first came out in 2000, not having the slightest damn idea a.) what Ween was and b.) what pot was really about.... and the two substances blended, and it may have been the beginning of what I first ever knew to be face melting. I just remember the opening notes of "Exactly Where I'm At," and I felt like I was in a spaceship getting ready to launch... (it still has this effect..)

I like:

White Pepper will change your life.

  My ex and our 'group' of friends were then very much into Ween, and all their previous albums were staples anytime we hung out. I remember being pretty spaced a handful of times and needing to skip certain songs because my circuits felt like they might short hahah :-! But yeah, there ought come a time when you get a grip... at least to some degree! What's strange in its own rite is that the Ween show I saw in Charlottesville in '06 actually made me hault the psychedelic realms I'd been exploring. Not like I was non-functioning or not taking care of myself or anything, but something about that show made me steer toward 'whoa.... it's quittin' time for a hot minute...." And that was the beginning of 'slowing down' hahah  It really was quite a night...but wheeewww.......

Sad day to see Gener that way.....

I think it was Mr. Choder that mentioned Pure Guava to have some serious gems... this has been a favorite version of "Tender Situation" for some time now:

sounds like things were back on track last night in Seattle, which is great to hear.  Looks like Canada got screwed.

Oakland Fox Theater.

Oh snap.... 'scuse me I need to change ma undies......  :-X  That place looks FANTASTIC

Jesus mang, I'm sure it's going to be ultimate  :o :o

[walterfredo]

It's truly an amazing place.  It was closed for decades, rotting away, and was recently renovated to the tune of $75 million, and now seems to be THE place to play in the Bay.  Not a single bad spot in the place, the floor has vents pumping cool air upward every couple of feet (you can see the small circles on the floor in that pic), easy bar and bathroom access no matter where you are and the sound is amazing.  It's no Terminal 5 though  ;).

Oh man, Gabrielle is a dream of mine to see live.

[walterfredo]

I feel like I hear Buenos Tardes every other time I see them, for an encore. 

Myself, I had been wanting to hear a 'Fluffy', and after about 30+ shows, finally heard one in Arcata a couple years back. 

Hoping for a 'Sorry Charlie' on Friday.

[woodnymph]

Just went back to the archived shows I've seen, and I definitely have yet to be graced with a Fluffi Claude! Tres-Quatros Amigos have been witnessed (usually as encores indeed, even Gener solo show in '09 (that show was phenomenal....)
