Ween - Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) (Peel Session 1992)

RIP John Peel. Recorded February 20th 1992.

[@Moctipotili1]

In this version, they both sing the back-up vocals so the listener can belt out the high pitched lead vocal most Ween fans are familiar with.

[@weenbeean342]

I like this better than the album version

[@Anthonybchannel]

Damn right it is!

[@rollerhockey69king87]

They have another song called Captain Obvious.

i just cant get enough of that piano solo. its leagues better than the whistling in my opinion, and i always thought the whistling solo was great.

[@yeeeww]

the piano is killer

[@MWilsonsGameShow]

amen

Will Johnson you said it Rolf

[@ocean6857]

Didn't know rolf liked ween

[@messygigi]

I carry this song in my heart.

[@boognick1]

do not resist

[@cousinted]

So I've heard two very plausible explanations as to what this song is about: Child molestation or heroin addiction.
Thus I can only assume it's about a heroin addict being molested by his dad who is also shooting horse

[@freshante4903]

Ahh, I hope not...Game Of Thrones me thinks...years before the fact...

[@rollerhockey69king87]

the heroin created the molester

[@syd1467]

I thought it was about Narnia

[@jalvi7406]

first ween song I seen live

[@scotthelm7558]

*I'd seen/I saw

[@girthbrooks1708]

I was there too

[@tuanjim799]

How did they do these vocal harmonies live? It sounds like Aaron's overdubbed harmonies from the albums, but it must be someone else doing it here, right?

[@Jamesjimjimmy]

harmonizing vocal pedal? same way he does all of those higher and lower pitched vocals like happy colored marbles

[@IAmTheBestMang]

@@Jamesjimjimmy Peel Sessions often had overdubbing.

[@aj0378]

its scott lowe i think

[@ocean6857]

Damn, this is actually how this song was meant to sound, without all of the clap soundeffects

[@noctgale]

sounds way worse than the album version imo

[@honeycomblord9384]

@@noctgale still a good version of the song, but it's not as good as the studio version
The piano's a great addition, though.

[@nworbrelytthefirst]

that piano solo is fucking great! way better than the whistling.

[@boredkid1235]

this song reminds me of politicians in my eyes by death

[@D7oDR6KpRgqkcqlKAkCWjvlDy4x]

I fuckin love death no one else has ever heard of them tho so I'm very surprised to see this especially here but I see what you mean by that

[@boredkid1235]

​@@D7oDR6KpRgqkcqlKAkCWjvlDy4x Yeah death is great. I think when I wrote this comment I was thinking specifically of the part starting around 1:44

top version

[@hardlyworking_]

is it just me or did the pianist play "the lick" that people meme about online to begin their solo

[@jeffryJEFFRYWITH1Ewillis]

that's Gene and who singing? Claude?

scott lowe

[@steveryan2012]

"about" is not really valid in this case, not a necessary question given the transcendental unbelievableness factor
