So not only was I at this show, but the voice yelling stupid shit at them throughout the set (stuff like "We don't care about God!" and "Jesus was WAY cool!") is my good friend Jim. The two of us, and a third friend named Joe, had gone to see the Dead Milkmen who were the headliners of this show. We had never heard of Ween but as soon as they started playing, Joe and I were into it. Jim... not so much. So he proceeded to heckle them, much to our chagrin. As much as I hate that he did that, it's pretty crazy to be able to watch this show again almost 32 years later. Even crazier is re-watching it and seeing myself in the crowd at 43:53, at the bottom of the screen wearing a Yankees cap! To all who watch, enjoy and I'm sorry for my stupid friend and his big mouth!

To say this is amazing is kind of insulting- insulting to Ween- that is. One would think a group like this would self-destruct in short order, but they built these songs and vibes into one of the most colorfully unpredictable and rewarding catalogs in music. The fact that Papa Gener could rage so hard for a full 20 years before full meltdown and then re-emerge from the ashes so triumphantly just underscores their collective greatness. All hail the Might Ween! Credit must also be given to the internet for allowing this. These trail markers from our heroes were not always available at the touch of a button. Cheers.
I think this show is brilliant, and I've been binging their entire discography over the past month including legendary live shows at Chicago and All requests live. They are clearly fucked up on mushrooms and watching this show with that in mind makes it a lot better imo, as they're still kicking ass and performing relatively abrasive material in front of pretentious sheltered youths of NYC, just a masterclass in Live Trolling.
The way they slide right into Boing here has got to be one of my favorite Ween moments.. a prime example of the kind of telepathy these 2 were demonstrating on stage at this point in their career
Best version of 'Tender Situation' ever to be heard by man. I remember downloading the audio of this show on BT close to 15 years ago & have been looking for the infamous "Taste the waste fucker, taste the waste" version for the past year; lest I say my night was made tonight.
Yeah - it's goddman amazing! Are you familiar with their live album, "Paintin' the Town Brown"? There's an amazing version of "Tender Situation" on that one and it's followed by the absolute, hands-down HEAVIEST version of "Awesome Sound" that I've ever heard!!
@@wangson I am familiar with the album sir, very classy. The versions you referenced are indeed excellent, live Ween is really something else... The albums all polished can be offputting for some, but I guarantee if those same people saw them live their tune would change!
@@ItsDallasSallad Oh absolutely. They remain a band that is well worth the price of a ticket - not only to watch the spectacle and listen to them wail, but for some, there are better than a few concerts that are perhaps more akin to endurance tests for Ween-uninitiates. For the rest of us though, 4 hours of live Ween is like the ideal medicine, baby!
I am so thankful this exists. These boys are so clearly on acid, and watching this video tripping is like nothing else. These boys immerse me in the essence of the boognish. Hail.

I've loved ween for a long time now but I don't think I truly knew what they were about until seeing this show. I feel kinda embarrassed that I didn't quite understand it.This is really why people love them. This particular show.
And all their other shows and their albums lol. They are a fucking great band their discography is just so full of ridiculous songs that its hard to take in at first but they seriously fuckin' rock and put on a hell of a show.
One of the best concert videos I've ever seen. Catches Ween near their creative height on a great evening. All hail Boognish! This is about as brown as it gets.
This was the tour I first got to see them on. Small underground club 10 bucks to get in and no idea who they were. It shaped my idea of what music could be.
This is amazing! To think I was lucky enough to play that same stage many years later. It would be great if ween did an anniversary tour in this style. Old school ween. Boognish would be very pleased.
they really go for it. like he’s channeling joe cocker. i think they are way too much for this crowd who doesn’t seem to get them. the songs and lyrics are great 👍 the performance is hilarious awesome show 👏
Oh boy, if it wasn't for Kurt Vile chosing one of their albums (The Mollusc) on "What's In My Bag?" I would have never heard of these guys! 🌿Thanks Kurt! 🌿 🙋♀️ WEEN you've got a new fan!
I saw these guys live in Memphis this year, and holy fuck it was great. These guys are a couple of the greatest musicians of all time, and to watch this is actually affirming and gratifying, to know that you can actually start out like this and become Ween, just by simply giving a fuck while not giving a fuck. I'm kidding, of course, you can not give a fuck while you give a fuck all you want, you'll never be Ween. Their secret is in the sauce
Cartman sounds like Gener is more likely, since Ween predates South Park and we know Trey and Matt are Ween fans. But in reality they both love to play with pitch shifting.
So not only was I at this show, but the voice yelling stupid shit at them throughout the set (stuff like "We don't care about God!" and "Jesus was WAY cool!") is my good friend Jim.

Jim led to some good banter tho, thx for the comment my dude
Holy shit!! That's so cool, seriously. You saw history be made that night ... so jealous
Is Jim still a douchebag?
Ultimate time travel destination.
YES!
I wish that for just 5 minutes I could feel the way that it looks like Gener feels when he's singing "Captain Fantasy"

fantastic
This took place on the date of my parent's wedding. There is a slight chance I was conceived on the same night Ween got this fucking brown. Righteous
Right on! I was most likely carbonating in my mother's test tube at this point in time
Holy cow. For some perspective, I graduated from college in May of 1991. On 10/12, I was trying to figure out how to earn a living.
We were all conceived at this moment
I was there...I was 17!
you are so lucky
what was it like
I was eleventeen. Not quite cool enough yet for this act
I was negative 2months old
Lucky man. I wish time could go back
How many times you think they got thrown off stage before someone realized they're the best god damned pure gauva gold??
the spirit of boognish was with them on this night.
The most underrated part of this video is when Gener turns around to the mural of a HERON and GRASS and just says "DUCK and...TREES..."
While deaner is talking about seeing a dead guy that morning too
34:24
This Tender Situation is so fucking amazing. Mickeys weird dancing/groping. Also a super brown solo by Gene..
What a great time in music. I mean dam Nirvana Nevermind was just released the week before. Jerry and Zappa were still alive.
This feels like Ween in its purest form
Gener during Marble Tulip.... "This is some VERY heavy shit, man"
To say this is amazing is kind of insulting- insulting to Ween- that is. One would think a group like this would self-destruct in short order, but they built these songs and vibes into one of the most colorfully unpredictable and rewarding catalogs in music. The fact that Papa Gener could rage so hard for a full 20 years before full meltdown and then re-emerge from the ashes so triumphantly just underscores their collective greatness. All hail the Might Ween! Credit must also be given to the internet for allowing this. These trail markers from our heroes were not always available at the touch of a button. Cheers.
This is one of my fav shows of there's ever
I know what you mean by saying it’s sort of insulting but it’s still an AMAZING show purely for it’s uniquness
I think this show is brilliant, and I've been binging their entire discography over the past month including legendary live shows at Chicago and All requests live. They are clearly fucked up on mushrooms and watching this show with that in mind makes it a lot better imo, as they're still kicking ass and performing relatively abrasive material in front of pretentious sheltered youths of NYC, just a masterclass in Live Trolling.
they were on mushrooms here?@@CopeAscetic
@@RataStuey for sure, mang.
i watch this at least once a week
This performance of Captain Fantasy is what dreams are made of.
Genes singing on captain fantasy is AMAZING best version I’ve heard
I never saw Deaner go this long without a cigarette. I wish I could have seen them as a duo. Great post .
The way they slide right into Boing here has got to be one of my favorite Ween moments.. a prime example of the kind of telepathy these 2 were demonstrating on stage at this point in their career
Fucking magical is all I can describe they're browness.
Deaner pressed ‘play’ on the tape-player- then we hear a 1, 2, 3, 4 count-in on guitar that was on the tape
basically the tape said: “the song starts now.”
but still, it sounds and looks so good
dean commits so solidly. he'd be a great actor.
This Tender Situation is so good.
Deaner's fucking hand motions man
12:14 Captain Fantasy!!!!! 52:26 Fat Lenny!!!!
this could be the best 58 minutes of music on the internet
That tender situation, my god

Deaner's shredding skill always take me off guard. Such a thing of beauty!
he hot too
@@bocolatebhipbookie Sexy hunk of man, indeed
I was 2 days old when this performance was happening
I was 2 years old lol
I turned 6 the day before
I was negative 10 years old at the time
-6 😢
I am so thankful this exists. These boys are so clearly on acid, and watching this video tripping is like nothing else. These boys immerse me in the essence of the boognish. Hail.
i think they’re on shrooms they used to do those a lot
Definitely mushrooms
i ate mushrooms and watched this whole show once. life-changing experience, wEEn are the best rock band of all-time
They are on shrooms - I chatted with them after this show, and we discussed it:)

it’s definitely the best tender situation to have ever been played i will never revoke that statement
jeff 9000 thanks
@@ffy0000 Gener can shred
This has to be some of the greatest, old footage, ever!!
There was some really great footage of Ween live in Amsterdam, but I think it's got erased. Ween at Paradiso or something. Lang Leve Paradiso!
They're having SO much fun. Comfy shit right there.
Best tender situation.
WOW ! Ween as a duo were some of my favorite shows ! PHILLY GUY HERE !!! KHYBER PASS WAS A FUN ONE !
I've loved ween for a long time now but I don't think I truly knew what they were about until seeing this show. I feel kinda embarrassed that I didn't quite understand it.This is really why people love them. This particular show.

“and then there was ween.”
Was there ever a time when Dean was not super fucking solid? Most consistent, powerful guitarist
Undeniable. The collective fuck up on goin gets tough is golden though
my all time favorite recording. I think i've watched this 100 times. not even an exaggeration
this is exactly what I wanted
One of the best concert videos I've ever seen. Catches Ween near their creative height on a great evening. All hail Boognish! This is about as brown as it gets.
Saw Ween in '07, '08, and '17.....and I never REALLY saw them until I found this.
Thank you.
RIP Wetlands. RIP brain cells. Long LIve Ween. So Brown it is green!
beautiful poem
Yeess, you are all beginning to taste it... it is ween...
This was the tour I first got to see them on. Small underground club 10 bucks to get in and no idea who they were. It shaped my idea of what music could be.
15:30 G: Tonight I'm kinda like Jerry Garcia without his voice...
D: plays spankin' "friend of the devil" riff
Yesss so good
BENEATH THE REACHES OF SOUND
How does someone in 91 get footage this good!
Probably because people are like "heh, this weird band that has a DAT rhythm section is playing live, I gotta document this"
ikr
Come on, really? Sure, the camera might have been as big as a suitcase but it wasn't entirely the stone ages
Your funny
this is my favorite band.
Little did they know, they’d end up writing one of the greatest songs in history: The Argus... or maybe they did know? Boognish knows all
fr, that song is a masterpiece
i love this show i listen to it often. gene is a trip. and an amazing singer. all hail the mighty ween!
mang
"youre still a little caught up in your fantasy"
"i can tell"
i love how micky brings gene back. brothers of ween back then.
Holy shit... LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL.
47:50 You're welcome
KWEEWFJKFSK HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They are Ween!
Oh wow, I just realized a couple of people were yelling at Gene to get up off the floor at the end of Reggaejunkiejew.
This is amazing! To think I was lucky enough to play that same stage many years later. It would be great if ween did an anniversary tour in this style. Old school ween. Boognish would be very pleased.
I would just to see them play again
This rules. I had a copy of this on VHS given to me by Jesse O, who shot this. The tape is long destroyed Thrilled to see up! Thanks!
i want to marry both of them
Yez
That performance of Marble Tulip Juicy Tree is fucking phenomenal
Love young gener
they knew they were legends
Spent many a night dancing in front of the fan at the "Sweatglants." Miss those days
taste the waste boy, this is indeed a tender situation. really.
dang. this really turns up around 35:30 when the things that made you happy now only make you blue. but i think you're a dikk. what can you do?
I miss zero fucks Gener.
Them bois are dosed that's awesome. Great footage. A real gem
unique, and actually good
Probably my favorite live performance next to Live in Chicago
Agreed! Life savers.
Totally enthralling performance
Holy SHIT this version of Marble Tulip Juicy Tree.
Deaner's solo, unbelievable..
My first Ween show.
mmm ween live at the wetlands time yeahhhh
Fuck yes, Captain Fantasy
Best ween live. Prove me wrong
One of the best live shows in history. I was 3 when this took place.
I was born two years after this took place
89 gang
This is fucking awesome
geener is mushed out jezuse
they really go for it.
like he’s channeling joe
cocker.
i think they are way too much for this crowd who doesn’t seem to get them.
the songs and lyrics are great 👍 the performance is hilarious
awesome show 👏
honestly though this crowds gets them more than a lot of others
What a show!!! What a SETLIST!!! This was Ween at their brownest!
This is one of the best for sure!
THIS IS THE BALLLLZZZZZ
Marble Julip Juicy Tree is epic as well holy shit
This is the best thing in the whole world
the way he strapped that guitar on like a g after tender
I tripped on mushrooms to this show burned to a DVDr... One of the best trips ever
Oh boy, if it wasn't for Kurt Vile chosing one of their albums (The Mollusc) on "What's In My Bag?" I would have never heard of these guys!
🌿Thanks Kurt! 🌿
🙋♀️
WEEN you've got a new fan!
Gener is one trippy dude.
sae them early ish london camden underworld. prob best music experience ive had.
34:35 so, does anyone know Brian Lansky is? What band he is from? I want to know who is the original ReggaeJunkieJew is.. :)
apparently he stole gene's girlfriend and took her to Jamaica. they said "he's like 4'10" and "addicted to heroin".
Jeezzz... They're just kids here. They look sooo damn young
these are some talented ass 12 year olds
12 year olds on acid...
beavis and butthead matt stone and trey parker hybrid creatures
the best version of fat lenny ever
First time hearing Seconds, what a fucking great jam
I saw these guys live in Memphis this year, and holy fuck it was great.

Thank you so much for uploading this
thank you for sharing this holy shit!
Been out the pod for less than 2 weeks at this point
Epic.
Gena sounds like cartmans sometimes
Cartman sounds like Gener is more likely, since Ween predates South Park and we know Trey and Matt are Ween fans. But in reality they both love to play with pitch shifting.
ween is literally if matt and trey were musicians
Honestly and incredible marble tulip juicy tree FUCK. Gene used to just go all the way
This is insane to watch. I love WEEN. Now I’m questioning my like because they’re this good
Mushrooms at the Door!!!
Like 600 :) Sweet upload!!!
