I really need to see Ween on the 4th of July. With all sorts of crazy fireworks and poo poo.

Please let this actually still happen.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, what could have been. :smith:

Apparently Jeff Soto is putting these up for sale tomorrow morning if you wanna start a collection of Ween Shows that Never Happened. You'll also be needing this one from the cancelled Levitation:

Ooof. What if they were going to pull White Pepper front-to-back in Bend on the 4th of July like they did with the 25th anniversary of The Mollusk? :smith:

Happy Weensday everyone, a holiday my friends and I observe on this day every year, where we eat all the cat drugs, listen to Ween for about 30 hours straight and claw at our faces the entire time.

Which is unfortunately not happening for obvious reasons. :smith:

I've never heard this show in full, but there's a good reason why it's the first hit that comes up if you're looking for a live version of Springtheme, 'cause goddamn:

I wonder why they haven't put out a live album of any of the material since 2016.
I've been assuming that's what all the album performance shows have been about. I'll keep sitting around waiting for those Mollusk and Chocolate and Cheese shows, I guess.

iirc in 2018 or so there was some really weird and public drama that suddenly got deleted off social media?
That was Deaner stuff, which led to him going into rehab. As far as I know they're still both sober, though quarantine can and will gently caress everybody up.

This is the conundrum where it’s cool to see a debut vs. you could have seen them play a much better song than Cornbread Red
Cornbread Red is a jam, but maaaaaan, pulling out Koko on Night 2 is where it's at.

I prefer repetitive album talk to “they’ve don’t even play new music at the shows” over and over again. Just what do you think Ween owes you even. Move onnnnnnn.

Every time I’ve seen Woman and Man live they cut the intro and I want that poo poo. Stretch it out longer if you can. :getin:

Yeah, that’s pretty accurate. I’ve been listening to Ween on shuffle on the way to/from work the last few weeks and I keep skipping tracks- not because I don’t like the one playing but because there’s some song I’m itching to hear but I don’t know which one yet.
It's Albino Sunburned Girl.

Outside of festival sets, every Ween show I’ve seen was on the dot 30 minutes past the scheduled time. Hanging out with Ween dorks in line is pretty fun though. Like an arts and crafts fair where everyone’s on acid and selling cool pins and poo poo.

PNW goons, if you were trying to lock down the Edgefield show that's been sold out for over a year some ticket have just been released. :rock:

These got pulled from the merch table for a split second because the venue's name changed to Hayden Homes, I'm so happy I got one in my hands 'cause after 14 shows, this was definitely my favorite Ween show. Also the new(ish?) window on the stage background is loving sick. :rock:

Oh man, turns out not going to and travelling for shows for two years buys an obscene amount of movies. I'm glad shows are back, though. Even if every festival this year's been kinda weak (Desert Daze. :argh:).

If you’re finding the earlier material a little too impenetrable (The Pod can be a rough listen for some), definitely check out the live versions. The songwriting comes through a lot more without the grime and muck of the production style.

Usually leftover show posters and variants end up on the official merch store:

They probably won't show up until after the tour is my guess, though.
