Nice...you got some choice songs there, for sure. I haven't heard the Blarney Stone in a while, and the Stallion Pt. 5 is a rad surprise! So the Bottle & Cork was a dive?
It wasn't as divey as I thought but a great venue... here are some things I found interesting:
- they had waitresses running cutting through the crowd during the show holding trays over their head filled with jello shots etc... and also buckets with beers... i filmed some video and its hilarious to see the trays and bucket going by..almost floating by...on the other hand I had to move for them quite a bit..
- crowd seemed to feel it was fine to smoke during show.. not sure what delaware law is
- the place had some game tables
- part of the bottle and cork had no roof which gave it an outdoors feel
Gene is really letting himself go to shit though..that can't be a good sign...although he seemed very happy and was doing a lot of funny faces/acting/strange delivery...I wouldn't say he was on drugs..probably its just Gene...I hope he gets on an exercise plan or something..He's looking more like Jabba the Hut every day..
Dean seemed to have less presence at this show..Claude seemed bored but he did take a pretty long solo...Dave was solid but no presence
The crowd was pretty peaceful except for Blarney where some idiots started pushing...crowd was pretty darn young! ween is continuing to get new fans while older fans learn how to work their baby bjorns and reminisce about the good old days.... my friend felt we were the oldest people there..i didn't notice
The venue could have sold more tickets..nice that they didn't overfill it...
All in all a great ween show made better for me by the fact that I drank a lot before the show and then just focused on concert so that I can actually remember it...also managed to film some of it so that helps..
Total bitch getting there and back and honestly not something I'll do again unless its something I really need to see.. I think if Baltimore had gone on sale first I would have gone to that show althogh it was nice going to this one with a group of friends...kind of felt like a unique ween show.. I even got a brown ween shirt and i am not the type to buy shirts (unless the concert blows me away)
I'm one of those fans who likes their stuff from Chocolate and Cheese onwards more..the songs are more fleshed out, better sounding, more melodies etc... Chocolate, 12 golden country greats, mollusk and white pepper are all great albums...I also like Cucaracha... so I don't need to hear the early stuff that much..to me it sounds halfbaked.. I know many disagree but if they played mainly stuff from Pod/Guava/godween I think the same people who keep asking for the old stuff would be asking for the new stuff...its always hard to please everyone and there's always someone who wants to complain
the brownest stuff of the show was Let me lick your pussy at the end which barely seemed like a song and went on forever.. by that point.. after three hours I was just kind of moving around the bar running into people etc..
