WEEN

Nice one, wf.  Hahaha I watched this some time ago but forgot about it

I just saw Gener in Pittsburgh on 10/1-- he looked great and sounded excellent!  (Oh god, this video is cracking me up again!  Wish I had Ween fan parents-- OH MAN I forgot he does the Stallion bit at the end too!)  We yelled out for Gener to play Pollo Asado, and he said, "Oh man... yeah, can you tell me the lyrics again?? Actually, I have them in my green backpack-- if you get them for me I'll play it."  I thought he was just making shit up, but when he came back for the encore, he was wearing a green backpack, and he was holding a lyric sheet!  And he read all the words to Pollo Asado off of it, with his band holding down the tune.  Surprise!     I got to see Deaner in Asheville in April and Gener in Oct, so the year feels more "complete" now, I'd say.  He has some REALLY GOOD NEW TUNES, too.  Not sure what you've heard already.  I haven't heard a whole lot, myself.  After he played one called "Golden Monkey," someone yelled out to hear Mutilated Lips; and he says, "That was pretty much Mutilated Lips right there, man.... like Mutilated Lips Pt. II or something...."  Definitely a gorgeous tune. They made it ultra psychedelic live.  Glad the boys are still creating.   

my buddy's band opened for Deaner at that Asheville show, Sicman of VA

San Fran shows added in October.

can't wait!  Definitely in for both nights.

[Cameron]

It wouldn't surprise me if they add a third like they did in Denver and NY.

I am embarrassingly late to the Ween train, but at least I'm now fully on board! These guys are great!!

In the span of two weeks, I've acquired their entire discography and am now devouring bootleg after bootleg. Every morning, I wake up with a different Ween track stuck in my head. Behind the goofery there is some amazing songwriting and instrumentation going on.

And they just announced a show practically in my backyard in September! Can't waaaait! I have to skip a buddy's wedding in order to attend, but I feel like Deaner and Gener would approve.

[Cameron]

Welcome to the party and glad you found them just in time to see them. After my 2 February shows and the cancelled Austin show I feeling the itch to see them again.

Is it normal behaviour to spend an entire night watching live clips of "Fluffy"?

[walterfredo]

Is it normal behaviour to spend an entire night watching live clips of "Fluffy"?

yes. typically while sitting on the porch.

[Cameron]

I had a friend in college that was obsessed with fluffy. We'd listen to different versions for hours at a time.

I found my first show from '96 on YouTube the other night and made my wife sit through it. She was amazed at how much I remembered.

Hope you enjoyed it tonight! Glad they played it.


That said, thought tonight was hugely underwhelming. They (especially Gener) did not seem into it at all.

[Varitek]

But underwhelming in a very brown way...
