I haven't been able to post this because I left it at a friend's house, but here's a picture of the Dean Ween poster they were selling at the Portland show (EDIT: there was also a red/white peppermint themed one, but I had to go with purple.): Detail shot:  And a copy of the set list for the Seattle show (I've got a copy for the Portland show somewhere in this room and I have no idea where):

I never got to see Ween proper and just saw Deaner for the first time last month. I'm dragging myself out to this. It's gonna happen. It must happen.

Saturday my friends and I celebrate Weensday, where we eat an unfortunate amount of  and listen to Ween for 24 hours straight. It's a beautiful, earth-shattering, sludgy disgusting brown gauntlet of madness. Today coming home from work I passed a garage sale and sitting there on the lawn propped up against a table was an oil painting of Dean Ween doing one hell of a gnarly Deaner face. I ran up to the dude running it and pleaded with him please, I don't have any cash on me, could he please set that painting to the side so I could run off to hit an ATM and be back within the hour. Dude took one look at me, turned around and kicked the painting, bursting Dean's face open and stomped off. All I could do was burst out laughing.If you can make the effort I highly suggest trying Weensday out for yourself, but you're going to get into some truly upsetting territory once you wander into The Pod-era stuff.

Discombobulator posted:Oh man they closed with Fluffy? Was it ten minutes long like the poo poo Creek version? Here's a decent sounding 42-second clip of that end solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o8v6blUmjg The setlist was: Strap On That Jammy Pac She Wanted to Leave Buckingham Green Don't Sweat It Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down) Transdermal Celebration Touch My Tooter The Stallion, Part 1 Object Roses Are Free Demon Sweat Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) Mister Richard Smoker You hosed Up I Can't Put My Finger on It Never Squeal Fluffy Jammy Pac was a late addition scribbled at the top of the setlist. Squeal got a full Claude solo and he bongoed the poo poo out of those drums. That was my first Ween show after listening to them for a decade. I was initially worried that I was in for a predictable truncated set, but daaaang, they were gunning for Portland hard.

What I love about The Pod is that it has just as much genre fuckery as any later-period Ween album, it just happens to be buried under that gross layer or murk. It was a bit tough to get through when I first started listening to it, but hearing live cuts from the album really show off just how great those songs are. I'd currently lock it in as tied for my #1 spot with The Mollusk as my favorite Ween album.sout posted:Ween are clever for getting fans to adopt the phrase "brown" because it means they can make total trash and fans will be like "hell yeah." caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Sep 21, 2016 |

Hahah, I was worried the consensus would be La Cucaracha. That album grew on me, but goddamn it took even longer than The Pod did.Beastie posted:There is a time and a place for the brown sound.  Admittedly, I'm probably the kind of guy sout's talking about initially: I'm always up for it getting too brown. sout posted:e: I have had surprising amounts of success getting people to appreciate Ween.

I love, Prince, Ween and straight-up juvenilia and think LMLYP is fantastic. I think the only Ween song I can straight up leave is "Learnin' to Love," though I do love 12 Golden Country Greats.

  Night 2. Despite having excellent sound, Brooklyn Bowl is a loving garbage venue with no water fountains, and the bathroom faucets are hot water only. None of the staff knew anything in regards to when doors were going to be opened or when the show was scheduled to go on. Doors open at 5 which leads to another line inside the venue until 6 when you're lead to the stage and then the show is at 8:30-ish, in case you were in town and still were unsure. Set list: Did You See Me? Exactly Where I'm At Mutilated Lips Take Me Away Up on the Hill The Stallion pt 5 Happy Colored Marbles The HIV Song Boy's Club Doctor Rock Frank She's Your Baby The Mollusk Bananas and Blow Even If You Don't Pandy Fackler Fat Lenny Puerto Rican Power Sorry Charlie How High Can You Fly? Roses Are Free Baby Bitch Waving My Dick in the Wind Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) Captain Fantasy Encore: She Fucks Me Dean had food poisoning last night and had to run off to use the bathroom, She's Your Baby was an in-the-spot decision by Gene played solo. Deaner also used a talk box for a truly ridiculous the She Fucks Me (LMLYP's been cut two nights in a row, gotta use the talk box for something). caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Feb 20, 2017 |

Night 3 devolved into Dean Ween literally dancing for money while the audience chucked chips at him. Hands down my favorite show of all time in terms of outright lunacy. The Linq is a Patrick Bateman fever dream and the only good thing I saw in the entire city was a life-sized plastic saxophone that holds 100 ounces of daiquiri that you sipped out of the mouthpiece and you had to tilt it up when it got below the halfway point.

Bold Robot posted:Night 3 was close to my ideal setlist. I can't believe they played Albino Sunburned Girl, and it may have been from an audience request based off what Deaner said afterwards? REAL TALK NOW THAT I'M AT A REAL KEYBOARD (not going to lie, it's gonna be word-vomit from hereon out, I'm still coming down): What spawned the chips incident was that someone had made fake Ween poker chips. Someone threw one on the stage, Deaner picked it up, made a comment and then was immediately inundated with a million fake poker chips and one real one for $100 (I myself folded my last $5 into a paper airplane and hurled it as hard as I could which hit the ground and was immediately given back to me by security). They asked him for his request which was Ambrosia Parsley, a detail I know because he had been shouting for it all loving night after every goddamn song which was immediately ignored. And, to be fair, that's most definitely bottom-tier in the Prince homages. It's the Stallion Part 5 of Prince worship songs, though Stallion 5 loving killed live. From there the show became fully off the rails as a wedding proposal went horribly wrong when the groom dropped the wedding ring in-between the stage and a wall with about an inch worth of space. It got so bad a random person from the crowd threw their own ring at them to use as a replacement which, when they did fish the ring out of the space, the groom was left holding up some random dude's wedding ring, who's is it? Who loving knows. The band congratulated them on their engagement by playing Iron Man. At the end of the night? loving Ambrosia Parsley motherfucker rolls up to the stage and demands his $400 back because they didn't play his request, genuinely angry about it. Ya got fleeced, son. You can't shampoo a shampooer. EDIT: Night 3's setlist has finally been posted: She Wanted to Leave Buckingham Green Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down) Beacon Light Learnin' to Love Albino Sunburned Girl Voodoo Lady Big Jilm Ooh Va La Stroker Ace Put the Coke on My Dick The Grobe Licking the Palm For Guava> Mushroom Festival in Hell Laura With My Own Bare Hands Hey There Fancypants (tease) The Star-Spangled Banner (tease) Iron Man (tease) Hey There Fancypants Touch My Tooter It's Gonna Be a Long Night Ace of Spades Fluffy Polka Dot Tail Encore: Poopship Destroyer caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Feb 20, 2017 |
