"Tender Situation" performed by Ween in 1991 at The Wetlands in New York. From a great show I found on Browntracker.net of Ween with the original lineup: Dean, Gene, and a tape player.
I love watching this old ween stuff, they always had raw talent, but over the years ween developed into an incredibly tight and musically versatile group, while never losing that aspect of being the greatest inside joke in music history, you either get it or you don't. WEEN FOREVER
6 years late. spot on. great comment. they are such a fuckin tight band.. listening/seeing them live and the translation of studio to stage is immaculate. its funny that if gene or dean are off (too fucked up) on a night, you can see the frustration in the bandmates.
When I hear this song....in this state of fucked up, psychedelic, insanity...it inspires me to create music. Whenever I don't feel like making tunes, I put this on and it just hits me home, mang. Take me home Gener!
I love ween, with everyone of their songs I'm able to feel a diffrent emotion, with each listen, sometimes I'm cryin, sometimes I'm crying with laughter. Ween is the greatest band of our time. And maybe the next.
Pro tip: when getting people into Ween just start straight with this 😂 If they’re down with the brown sound make them your best friend and never let ‘em go
yeah I love this version of the song. I've heard it said they were on acid for that show, way way back. They definitely sound in the moment. The desperation of the vocals is great. Must be a tender situation.
This show busted my ween cherry< opened for the Dead Milkmen. Wetlands Hippies at the time were mortiphied ,been my favorites ever since. Thanks for the post.
why doesnt deaner get loose like this anymore, i mean ive seen them live a lot, and gener still brings it, and deaner seemes restrained,he has amazing unique guitar skills though,not complaining
F'in amazing. My favorite Ween song and that's hard to say... This version is just god-awful but at the same time showcases the pure genius of Ween to the trained eye. Awesome footage. Thanks for posting.
i dont think any version of any ween song is godawful, they are a testament to the fact that you can just record shit and if you are doing it with passion, it'll be awesome
Maybe they were on shrooms (they wanted to remove their shoes, and Ween said they liked shrooms a lot during this era) but also they were not very happy with the audience they were being asses
my whole life is a tender situation laced with as much of the boognish as i can handle.. and sometime much more than I can... but its all good gotta love em
Sounds like Dean on Pure Guava which was probably recorded in 91, came out in 93. I have a live recording from 94, and Gene is singing. This is around the same time that they started using a full band, sans keyboard.
i wish i could say all time,but I have to stick with oone of the best albums of the 90's.The Mollusk could be one of the best albums of all times...but we'll see.
@Zorbitron ten years later those same hippies were probably saying how they saw them in the beginning and how awesome it was...aha down for the brown....
I know it's Deaner in this video but when did Gener start singing this song live? Don't they trade verses now? Doesn't Gener sing the studio version? What the hell is going on?

I second what this liam said

Agreed
oh hi learn to ween
i see bitterness, a lot of sarcasm, and much hurt playing out.
life will do that to a man...
Check out Gregg Turkington's band "Zip Code Rapists" for pretty much the same shit
@@liammcooper wtf
Thank you Captain Obvious. Your intellect is appreciated.
It's about when Deaner was gonna go play guitar for a band on a Japanese tour and Gener found out and raged. I believe
This saves my life everytime.
Like 4 now, for real
I love ween, with everyone of their songs I'm able to feel a diffrent emotion, with each listen, sometimes I'm cryin, sometimes I'm crying with laughter.
Ween is the greatest band of our time. And maybe the next.
The best version I've ever heard, love the emotion from Deaner
This is the brownest of the brown right here!! good shit!!!

Mickey's dancing will always make me laugh
yeah I love this version of the song. I've heard it said they were on acid for that show, way way back. They definitely sound in the moment.

Time will not forget the Brown. Boognish forever!
"What is Ween? Ween is about a tender situation." Indeed.
I was introduced to Ween in 1991. Still listen to them almost weekly. Good music is timeless!
pure guava is one of the best albums of the 90's.
Ever!
I agree! I wore that cd out then bought Silverchair Frogstomp & wore that out hahaha those 2 albums are the soundtrack to my life 😇
0:19 holy shit I'm crying
Love him or hate him
He do be spitting fax
This made my situation tender
Gener looks like he's about 12 here
he goes from 12 to 200 in his career lol
+PKSkyler haha
+PKSkyler That's a good one, but he really got a bad one-two punch with first losing hair, then turning gray quickly.
***** A mix of many drugs and unlucky Gener genes....
this is not the gorillaz man dont
I love how drug-fueled this performance is.
“Taste the waste, fucker, Taste the waste.” I always sneak it in when I’m singing it.
BROWNED MY BRAINS OUT
This show busted my ween cherry< opened for the Dead
Milkmen. Wetlands Hippies at the time were mortiphied ,been my favorites ever since. Thanks for the post.
that's it. ween are my favourite band.
Wish I could like this a few more times
right on ween. still one of my favorite videos on youtube.
good lord look @ these sweet baby boys!
Greatest performance ever right here in this song. That entire set is a jem.
I just love these guys, always been truly entertaining.
This really is one of the greatest sound moments I have ever experienced.
Whoever dislikes a Ween video, needs a head examination. Weenlessness is next to ungodliness.
I'd say its worse.
this is so classic. man the timing is great.....deaner nails it
powerful strong brown
badass!! trippn bawls on acid! and playin incredible ween!
why doesnt deaner get loose like this anymore, i mean ive seen them live a lot, and gener still brings it, and deaner seemes restrained,he has amazing unique guitar skills though,not complaining
performance art
"oh take it gener! take me home!"
WEEN! This is an amazing video! So many memories of this venue. It may longer be around but thank Boognish that WEEN still is!
420TH LIKE WOOT WOOT THATS WHAT THE FUCK I DO!!
Eastern PA Brown Rock at its finest. Fuck anyone who doesn't like it.
F'in amazing. My favorite Ween song and that's hard to say...

Maybe they were on shrooms (they wanted to remove their shoes, and Ween said they liked shrooms a lot during this era) but also they were not very happy with the audience they were being asses
Doing a joe cocker

You mean Dean motherfuckin' Ween? Yeah, he does.
Way Brown.

Best shit i've heard in months
Hah, so raw and rad. Didn’t he swap the second and third verses? Acid will do that!

I wish I was that talented and original at 21
i FUCKIN LOVE THIS SONG LIVE, tell me that guitar on this one doesn't remind you of some electric neil young.
gnarl... total gnarl
What is Ween?
nug
perfect.
you were 7? seventeen years ago?
that is amazing!
I know what you mean man. I feel like that all the time.
You couldnt get away with this style today.
OK but you really could though. There's lots of bands right now that are highly influenced by early Ween
1000ccs of pure BROWN!
taste the waste boy, taste the waste
bow down to Ween
They're my age and it's 1991!
holy brown
fuckin nasty broooowwwwwnn...love it
LMAO indeed this is a most tender situation. YES
Peak Ween / Peak Music
WHATS UP WITH THESE GUYS? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
they seem stoned as fuck.
I like how DEANER motions the crowd to be quiet
i wish i could say all time,but I have to stick with oone of the best albums of the 90's.The Mollusk could be one of the best albums of all times...but we'll see.
hahah yea man i gotta agree im laughing so hard right now
Ween!!!!!!!!!!!!
me too, me too ; )

@Zorbitron ten years later those same hippies were probably saying how they saw them in the beginning and how awesome it was...aha down for the brown....
@Zorbitron What DVD!
No way man. Best of the 90's You're talking God Ween Satan or Pure Guava. Both totally beat Mollusk
3:18 deans channeling xiu xiu
soooo funny everytime he flails. i dance the same way.
By 90's do you mean all time?
I know it's Deaner in this video but when did Gener start singing this song live? Don't they trade verses now? Doesn't Gener sing the studio version? What the hell is going on?
Whatever happened to Chocodog Records.
hahaha this is priceless
You have a favorite? That's impossible!
This is Pure Guava, in my opinion
pause at 0:20! LMFAO!!
