- This is one of my favorite tv clips of us. "Pure guava" was still a new record and we had just written this song. I think this is one of our last performances as a duo. This was filmed early in the morning and we were very stoned.

I love how they pan over to the drum machine like it was another person in the band.
+underalbert Talking about the DAT recorder? Essentially it is a part of the band.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was saying. I meant it was funny for the camera to focus in on it like it was a person, no comment on the sound of the band. I know the machine is a big part of their early sound.
+underalbert Thank you; this comment just made me laugh out loud. So true. So good.
I'd love it for gene and dean to both casually look at the drum machine simultaneously as well. Like "ok man, it's your turn".
underalbert I was gonna say the exact same. I felt it though
That crowd was probably surprised as hell when Gener pulls super falsetto
@@waitingforgodot355 but their kids are gonna love it
Gener's voice is enough to make you believe in Boognish
@Evan Laughlin Relatively high tech?
Very deliberate. Hysterical fucking freaks
It's over 9000!
"Machine Ween" - The original third member
That gas mask bong was the bassist for a while.
@@Kclack Haha, good point - The Ween Mythology has always been a bit "Hazy"...
That’s Cheene Ween to you. Lll
dat's a DAT!
CLEAN MACHINE WEEN
Gene Ween is one of the great rock vocalists of all time.
completely agree with that :3
Dudemang said "one of the greatest". Jeff Buckley wasn't a fan of being compared to anyone, so respect his wishes and don't be a dee eye see kay to this man for no reason. Especially when its reflecting YOUR opinion.
I do however, wonder if Buckley was a Ween fan..
That high note though...tingly!
Jayden Ford had to look up who that is. Trollolol!!!
Fuck yes and fuck yes...
0:56 cool dude in crowd loves that four track joke
Macklemore lol
He is too cool for school
That's not any cool dude, thats Anthony Fantano
He did kinda steal the show
@@uber-cg8vq So he was 8 years old there?
They liked to fuck around and goof off (which is one reason we all love 'em), but their talent is no joke. As young as they were in '93 and they did THAT. Not to mention the fact that they can play any genre and pull it off like pros. These guys have to go down as one of the most underrated bands/music acts of the time.
Nick I watched these guys in Melbourne Australia in 2008.
Top 3 live concert for me ever.
Ween live in Chicago on YT is the best🤟
They got so many very odd songs it not funny yet pleasing to hear.
Underrated is not the word lol were are these people born mars?
ALSO, one of the greatest LIVE bands I have ever seen, and I have seen a log of great live bands of all styles in my life.
@@doom5895I suggest you familiarize yourself more with Ween.
her face after she asks each question is straight outta tim and eric
lol....as is your profile pic. well done sir. chihuahua burritos....why not?
whats her fuckin problem lol
ZombiEBenoiT She's a sweetheart.
+ZombiEBenoiT EYEFLE TOWER BRO?
BUTT HURTZ EHH!?
i can imagine some people liking this song and then they buy the album and are like wtf?
I don't think Choclate and Cheese was out at the time of this performance.
@@ghostninja5035 Bruh, the album's been out for 26 years now. I don't think he was talking about people in the audience. Over 800K have watched it on RUclips compared with about 40 in the studio.
@@leafbelly this was a televised performance
@@eliweiss4118 Right, so let me add "... or, the 20 people who watched it live." For real, this show was canceled in like a month because nobody watched it.
That's a funny thought.
"This was filmed early in the morning and we were very stoned." Clearly, a solid, solid formula.
I love this so much. I also love how they keep cutting to the DAT player like it is a member of the band.
Hahahahaha 😂
Too fucking funny man.... hadn't really picked up on that.
That shits too funny...now the band and the voices come out of a machine that is about a tenth of the size of that...:(
At that point in time, it was
I like that also. Never noticed even though I seen this vid a cuppa times by now xDD hahaha thanks for the good laugh
I don’t think the audience was ready for this kind of epicness.
Or ready to learn that mannequin was filmed at Woolworth! 😉
It was a talk show
@@theramplocal "Mannequin" was actually filmed at Wanamaker's, and they knew that, but Wanamaker's is too many syllables to fit the lyric.
But their kids love it so..
1:44 Claude looking especially stoned that morning
noooo stfu this is the best comment
LOL! +1 to you sir
😂
Made me chuckle, thanks
I died
this is the shortest i’ve seen deaners hair and the longest i’ve seen geners hair
I love how Daft Punk included this track as part of their famous 1997 Essential Mix on Radio one, the set that launched them into stardom. Thanks Ween!
Thanks weener!! Hahahahhaa!!!!
What’s “radio one”?!
The greatest electronic mix ever
@@hardtymz2517 BBC Radio One
No way! Hadn't listened to that mix in 20 years and had to go back and check, nicely sandwiched between some dance mania and Cassius!
Those were actually some decent pre-show interview questions
true school. she seems like a dork but she had early ween on so props to her
I believe Mark McKinney's character Nina Bedford is based off this show
LOL I just posted that she looks like a Kids in the Hall character....Specifically the 1 with the pointy nose
I agree. I expected condescension got curiosity.
Graduating top 10% of her class, just missing out on Salutatarian, Jane Pratt always prided herself on attention to detail and preparation.
They sound high as shit. Love you ween
They were wasted on shrooms.
@@barryposner7609 no
When were they not high??
They don't even so drugs you uninformed losers!!!!
Check the description
Jesus Christ, the pipes on this guy . . .
Robert Sassetti so good
Look up the live version which they played with the Foo Fighters, Gene outdid himself.
This is my favorite video on the internet, I've been watching it at least once a month for the past 5 years, hail the boognish.
How about now?
NastyMcOutplay your comment reminded me to watch it again
@@theultimate0117 Just the same in fact, punk. Will there be anymore? Me thoughts naught, Creton...
5 years later, you still watching it?
Watch it again lad
I can't believe Ween hasn't recorded more songs in this style over the years. Geners voice is fan-fucking-tastic here.
Ambrosia Parsley
Prince song
Best part of that whole performance is Deaner's sarcastic rock hand throw. I wonder did anyone in that audience lose their shit when they realised they were seeing something truly special?
"Ironic," not sarcastic. That's the splendor of Ween; they don't do sarcasm. Everything they do is what they love, and that's what makes all their music so deeply good ... or Boognish, if you please.
The world needs this vibe more then ever
Drū
this is so awesome, imagine going to a house party and this is live in the living room
I just informed my soon to be wife that this version of this song (interview and all) is going to be our first dance at our wedding. She'll be back.
make it happen
Great idea!
Being a devoted Ween fan feels like being in a very select club. Lucky to hear them, back in the day. It’s possible to find one perfect Ween song for almost anybody to enjoy. 😘
The dude with the interested face and shades, he's cool as ice 0:59
love how deaner refers to gener by 'dudemang' 1:11
Made me laugh out loud hahaha
I thought he said "do you mind" at first, thank you for enlightening me! Definitely got a chuckle!
What a beautiful dudemang
Lol just noticed that
RIP me
dudemang
I wonder how many daytime Lifetime viewers became Ween fans as a result of this. Lots, I'd hope.
Me too. Keep the faith.
Beavis and Butthead for me
This was probably followed by Supermarket Sweep.
If fucking nothing in the world had ever introduced me to Ween, the very notion of Supermarket Sweep would have implied that Ween existed and forced me to join them.
69th like ;)
The distance between the time this was posted and now(2006-2020) is greater than the time between it airing on TV and being posted on RUclips(1993-2006) which really fucks me up for some reason. Time was more time-y back then...
and more was more moreish
I've never seen a tv presenter look so socially awkward and anxious before. Like you can actually see her brain beating itself up after every question she asks - even though they aren't bad at all!
This isn't a complaint in any way. It's really endearing and a breath of fresh air given all the slick, confident plastic people droning on - in media and real life
Her question are pretty good.
Questions, doh!
Yeah i l like her. She seems cool.
God DAMN that boy can sing!
Also - Gene's sweet smile after every line is making me melt.
You might wanna go back in the freezer for a couple minutes
Same!
"..this next song we're about to play is called The Stallion, part 1."
“this next one’s called mourning glory”
@@alex_dot_org5512 I wonder if that one has even been attempted to be played live.
Now we want to thank our sponsors..ruclips.net/video/jvozB6nFO9M/видео.html
@@syntheticgerbil ive read somewhere that despite it being requested a lot they never played mourning glory live
**Ahem,** is this mic working? Yeah? Ok.
*YOUR FUCKING WITH THE GODDAMN STALLION!*
Gene can really belt out a tune, and Deans guitar work is underrated as fk. they can do it every night too
Man, wish I could go back to the 90s to see this live
I break up Ween's discography into 3 eras:
***The experimental 4-track era (GodWeenSatan, The Pod, Pure Guava)
***The breakthrough era (Chocolate & Cheese, 12 Country Greats, The Mollusk)
***The mature era (White Pepper, Quebec, La Cucaracha)
I do this because it's difficult to judge Quebec against GodWeenSatan or The Mollusk against The Pod. They're occured in totally different phases of Ween. However, it's easy to compare GodWeenSatan to The Pod or White Pepper to Quebec.
La Cuca is easily their worst actual album. Quebec I love to death but the pacing is weird as hell and I prefer my own tracklisting without the garbage interludes and what not that seemingly do nothing for it as a whole.
The Mollusk is the best thing they ever did. White Pepper, Chocolate, Country, and The Pod are still up there though and thoroughly amazing.
I think you can reasonably compare these records. I barely if ever even listen to the debut outside of 3 or so songs, and the same thing with Pure Guava. I think they started to get a little bit more mature with The Pod. But those early two albums are simply not very good IMHO. Kinda like some Butthole Surfers experimental stuff that's cool but not really good.
I strictly go by what I listen to, and what I think are great songs for the most part. Quebec to me is a really druggy album, but I just don't really like the Motorhead opener, still a good cover, and some of the absolute TRASH like The Fucked Jam and Chocolate Town. I have no idea why they even felt the need to go back to shite like that. I take all that out and tracklist it like a concept album almost, ending with Captain and Alcan Road and beginning with Zoloft. I can't go back after the brilliance of The Mollusk. La Cuca was just not good as an album or anything else and sounds dated, and it's probably good they quit there. Album barely had a single worth playing. In fact it did not.
I have a 40 song playlist of their stuff, and not a single song comes off of La Cuca. Their worst album ever made. Like REM's Around the Sun but worse lol.
@@poeticalbliss7882My favorite part about Quebec is the fact that you can shuffle the album and it is still great. The Mollusk is better, but the problem is if you shuffle it or put it on a playlist it kills the pacing. I don’t think I’d ever listen to Pink eye (on my leg) or I’m dancing in the show tonight by themselves willingly, so they aren’t enjoyable unless it’s a full album listen (in my opinion). La Cuca, although i do think it is probably Weens worst album, isn’t completely terrible. Fiesta is a classic goofy ween opener and Your Party is not only a great closer but one of Weens best songs in general (In my opinion). I generally think their first album, Pure Guava and Chocolate and Cheese are really overrated (C&C is still pretty solid, it’s just not one of my favorites) But no one agrees on anything. It’s a matter of opinion. Your Opinion is fair, and even someone who thinks La Cuca is Weens best and the Mollusk is Weens worst has a fair opinion. Because we all enjoy different things.
this may be the greatest video on youtube of all time
The amazing thing about Ween is they have no formula really. If you listen to their albums they make songs in almost every genre of music. These guys are insanely creative and you can tell they had fun making this stuff.
This makes your Soul Glo
the sweetest guitar tone I've ever heard!
I concur
Gritty, nasty, harmonically ambiguous trash tone… and it’s my favorite fucken sound on the face of this whole goddamned planet 🤘😎👍
@@jc4657what color and yes
that guitar sounds so big.
the crunch is insane
It's in his hands for sure
Sounds pretty brown
I love the vocals on this song, channeling a Prince vibe. If he had written this song, would've been all over the radio.
Prince is both weens favourite musician so no surprise
Gene has one of the best voices of all time, they have fun and I love how they were not over produced. Love Ween, I still listen to them al the time,
They mention weasels a lot in their music
0:58
I use to have a pet weasel named Dexter :)
Got a weasel
@@ChrisPBacon-xn9up I have a weasel named Dexter!! and Koko
Cara Smith aww, bet they’re cute. Yay weasels! :D
one of the highest points in 90s culture
Ween were just hanging out and got a record deal. That's how it's done people.
I saw Ween twice and met them once off stage.. this is the best performance of this song that I've ever heard.
Omg!!! Lucky!!!! I'd love to meet the ween brothers.
MAN at 3:47, the camera angle, the lighting, deaners picking hand, geners voice. dude amazing
love that blast of distorted perfected from deaner, when geaner screams "a park in the summer"....beastly!!
Fairmont Park in the summer....
Ween is THE BEST band in the entire world!!!! And thier hilarious too.
they're*
Bernie San Pellegrino its been 6 months... But still... If all you can focus on here is a simple mistake... Fuck you man. This shit rules
Adn thae attackg fans thadt can spell.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 i hope you're joking
Yes!!!! My favs👏🏻💞
The feedback makes it 😂🔥🔥🔥
Anyone here in 2020!!!???
Yo!
Yessir
Me
We be out here
Yup
gener's ultra falsetto sends me into another realm
I had that TASCAM 488 machine, and moved up to a 688 when my wife bought it for my birthday. Used that thing until the gears wore out. Thank God for digital - but it served a purpose at the time ...
How well do you like the 688
I absolutely loved it! My wife surprised me with that one for my birthday, and I got about 10 years of hard use out of it as a multitrack, and another couple of years using it as a mixing board - I ran the wheels off of that sucker!
Since I have a lot of master tapes that need a 688 to transfer over to my digital setup, I hope to buy another one if I can find a decent one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
I highly recommend the 688 - TASCAM did a wonderful job on this one!
Thanks so much dude
Anytime, my friend!
It’s a 424 I think
Great live Performance! Boyz to Men should hire this man to sing with them! Ween should do an R&B Funk album and i'm not kidding!
Love the username! Hail mr. Bungle!
Come back to this every couple months, phenomenal in so many ways
I was an infant when this aired. Like probably close to newborn, Sinead OConnor tore the Pope up on SNL the day I was born.
I guess I’m trying to wrap my head around the total sense of awe upon realizing ween has truly been brown as fuck longer than I’ve even been alive
Thanks for making such awesome tunes guys
Would have been so sick if my mom had been into Ween instead of Phish but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wow that's dope you guys were babies.
This is so good! I saw Ween on Bonnaroo a couple of years ago, and I nearly cried of joy=P My friends and I are from Norway, and we went to the states mainly to see Ween at that festival:)
That's a big ass festival! Think I saw them there in '04 think they closed with poopship.
This is one of my favorite live versions of any song.
After 11 years of wanting to, but never getting around to it, I just learned how to play this on guitar, these chords are WHAT THE FUCK chords.
These brothers were the one thing that kept me feeling rock when I was diving deep into hip-hop as a kid. Not to say my dive was in any way regretted or regrettable, just that they were always there to show me there were other ways to be fucking dope.
Brothers from different mothers.
i love how they're perpetually stoned
i programmed my drum machine to play with this song on guitar and found it interesting that the tempo is set at 76
76?
The Devil the song is called freedom of '76. so its interesting that the tempo is also 76 bpm
you fuckin right! Dean's a genius
it isnt 76bpm, it's close to 90
christopantz thanks for ruining the fun. I actually like it a little slowed down from the album recording.
Everything I love about Ween is encapsulated in this clip. The interview is classic. Awkward!!! Wouldn't change a thing.
wow. this is the first time I heard this song. I just remember Pushin th' little daisies playing all the time on a local music video broadcast station in my late teens. Then listened to ocean man when I found out that song was the inspiration for spongebob squarepants. I regret not exploring Ween's full body of work sooner.
The best Ween clip of all time.
This is *_so_* good. Ween sure could be soulful when they wanted to be. I think the audience, and Ms. Pratt, were a bit shocked at how soulful and bluesy and talented these two awkward looking white kids who seem like they ended up on the wrong sound-stage actually _sound_. They're *_so_* stoned btw....you can easily tell. I love Dean's little smirk around 0:33. He probably finds the situation of playing before an audience who is *_so not_* their target audience to be rather absurd/surreal/hilarious. But...once they start _playing_, well kids...that's why you should smoke weed.
I smoked weed for years on end and didn't end up sounding like this..... what did I do wrong? I've seen tons of family guy but I still sound like crap....? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
there is always that guy that says "they´re definetely stoned, huh"
Every stoner thinks everyone is stoned
@@samsonmcgloughlinakira1749 damn, totally agreed
@@cafene842 that's because everyone is on drugs, not necessarily just weed
Holy shit. They absolutely killed it. That crowd was not ready for what they just witnessed.
0:58 why did they cut to him for? 😭😭
Brown sound
give me a solid definition of "brown" because i hate ween fans who see how many times they can say brown in a sentence
SonnyBoy Novoselic It is a description of their songs that have a lo-fi sound, usually distorted or modified vocals, and strange (stranger than normal) lyrics. Freedom of 76' is an incredible Ween song. However in my opinion, it is not one of their brownest tracks. This performance is pretty brown though.
SonnyBoy Novoselic
@ SonnyBoy & Joseph, I'm new to the" WEEN SCENE" and I too, was confused on the whole "BROWN" thing, Thanx for clearing that up people.
@@TreeintheQuad frapping.
Poopship brown.
Dang it, I grew up in the 70's and I never heard these guys. What a loss for me.
Man, he's just beltin it out! This is awesome.
1:11 dudemang
0:58
hahahah nice spot fromthedoor
Freeze the video at 1:16 and tell me they don't look stoned as shit.
Yes?
I have the same Tascam! I'm going to go make an album now, bye!
Landon Balk I have a similar Fostex! Now to make some rock.
Do you know how they got the tape saturation effect while playing live
So funny to see ween on Jane Pratt, she probably learned about music in general the day prior to this xD
She actually knows a shitload of people and is in REM's Shiny Happy People video. Don't underestimate her. She is really unlikable from my perspective and really whose bright idea was it to give her a TV show? But yeah, she knows a lot of famous people and musicians so she's probably not THAT out to lunch on music. Or wasn't at the time.
My favorite band ever!!! No two songs sound alike
That performance was so effing sick! WEEN are gods! Rock on Aaron & Mickey!!!
I just never get tired of watching this video.
The talent amazes me.
That lady was drippin over Dean.
ween.. what could be said...just freaking awesome
my first time hearing this. love it. it's like Jimi Hendrix meets John Lennon
Interviewer did an awesome job in this very strange situation. 😂❤💯🤘🏽
It's like a stoners gospel! Awesome!!
Dean and Gene Ween... amazing combo of vocals, guitar and creative ambition
Greatest interview in the history of television.
Love this band they are the best... Been following them for a very long time
You guys really are great. You made the 90's in P.A. sooo wonderful! I really hope to meet you guys one day.Thanks again!
Wow, I think that's the best version I've heard of that. Plus, I still record on a 4 track analog. Why? Because it's f'king fun and sounds good! WeeN! Also, my favorite album was recorded on a analog 4 track. John Frusciante's "Niandra lades and usually just a t-shirt"
Having listened to Ween for almost 20 years, this is my first time seeing them perform. Amazing goodness.
this performance is brilliant. i've watched it like ten times in the past two days since I found it, and it won't leave my head. i love dean and gene ween.
Anyone still watching in 2018?
Honda Vlogs regularly 👌🏻
Legends.
Why wouldnt you watch lil baby gener n deaner
what
Honda Vlogs OH YEEEEAAAAHH!
This is the best Ween interview. Fairly in-depth look at how they worked before Claude, Glenn, Dave, etc. with plenty of funny moments. Every time I watch this and I hear Mickey say "Yeah sure, sounds great!" I always laugh out loud. I also like how they (kinda?) predicted the country record at 1:29 when they joke about going to a "real" studio with a backing band. And of course, a blistering version of '76
i just can't get enough of this performance. top notch!!
Love ween. Thanks for the clip
Yes!! Never saw this. Man it does sound just like the album track too!! And yes, as others have pointed out, the camera shots of the DAT are priceless.
Lol the host is clearly very confused by their existence.
I keep coming back to this clip about once a year, and remind myself how much I love this song. This version was so raw, so embryonic, but they fucking nailed it. VIVA LA WEEN
Awesome footage!! I'm all verklempt!!! Thanks for uploading, brought back an impressive, deep feeling! Thanks again.
