Roll Call: Gene Ween Band

[hutch]

I agree what a dork! This was not a WEEN show and we had set lists from the previous shows..Anyways, that was the cool part about it: it wasn't the same Ween songs we always hear.. No Buenas Tardes Amigo, Dr Rock, Fantasy, PIss up a Rope..

That was part of what made it a cool show! Very much a Ween show but for once with a different set list!

Apparently the rest of the shows are being scrubbed due to Gene being sick.

My main problem was that I just didn't like the new songs.  I was hoping for more rare Ween cuts, and it was nice to see Greg the Bunny (who knew?) and I'll Miss You, but the rest of the songs they played I had heard before, and the new ones I just didn't care for.  I agree with his overall assessment...just for different reasons.

Still, I can't beleive how many people yelled for Dr. Rock.  They fucking play it at every show...try something new!

I could've done without the Instant Death songs. Thought the Gene songs varied in quality. "Let's Get Divorced" with Dave on tuba was hilarious.

Yeah, I'm starting to realize that I don't care much for Ween side- or related-projects.  A couple of the early songs they lent a hand to (there was a Frente song and a Ko-Stars songs that were good), but everything from Instant Death to Sound of Urchin are pretty lame.  Hell, even the Moistboyz are better in theory than practice...though at least they rock.

Bummer about Gene Ween getting so sick..

He was definitely smoking at the Black Cat and thats never good if you're coming down with something....

I think the Gene Ween Band show at the Black Cat wasn't as immediate as a Ween show but for me - and I'm a pretty hardcore Ween fan- it was very rewarding.. I still have a little bit of a show buzz....Gene Ween was in such a good mood it was contagious

On a semi-related note, How great was this show?


I think I heard everything I was hoping to hear that night.

No joke. That ending encore alone was worth the price of admission.  And look at all the rare cuts there!  That's what's been missing from the last few DC-area shows.

does ween in any of it forms, play morning glory live?  me loves me some of that one.

[azaghal1981]

I wish.

I don't think so.



You love that track yet you don't go to any of Snailhook's shows?

[nkotb]

Every Ween show I've ever seen has had someone in the crowd scream for Mourning Glory and Old Man Thunder.  I love that they played Old Man Thumder at that God Ween Satan full album show they did back in 2001.  I wish to god that would leak...
