Ween Cast

To celebrate our move to Anchor.fm, we’ve gone back and taken another look at our earlier episodes.  Man, it’s been a while, and we’ve learned a lot.  Although our earlier lo-fi era certainly had it’s brown charm, we thought it couldn’t hurt to remaster these sons a’ bitches.  We ran noise reduction and took a fine tooth comb to the .wav file, adjusting amplification to improve listenability.  While we didn’t include any deleted scenes, or give you an extended peek at the Wampa, we hope that these improvements make this episode better to listen to.

Episode 4: 01/30/1998, The Trocadero, Philadelphia, PA.

In this episode Rory and Shane go back to the past to one of the brownest eras in the bands history and discuss the Trocadero show in Philly January 30th 1998! Although Rory couldn’t make this one, Shane carried the torch. And what a flame it was, awash with the glow of the Boognish! This show was not long after Ween’s massive world tour in 1997 for The Mollusk, and Ween was rocking hard! This show was heavy on old school Ween and also notable because White Pepper was still nowhere to be found.  Enjoy.

Episode 3: 08/21/2016, Penn’s Landing Festival Pier, Philadelphia, PA.

In this episode Rory and Shane discuss the City of Brotherly Love getting way down with the brown once again at Festival Pier on August 21st 2016!

After they extended the reunion beyond just the three shows in Broomfield, Colorado, we felt like we finally could say, “Ween was back!” We caught one of the shows at the Terminal 5, but we knew the comeback wouldn’t be complete until they headed “home” and played in Philadelphia.  And boy did they! A massive downpour just before the show couldn’t keep the fans away, and Ween put on a rip-roaring night of music.  This show was a mix of standards with some absolute rarities like, “Transitions,” “Kim Smoltz,” “The Stallion Part 1,” “I’ll Miss You,” and “How High Can You Fly?” and it just blew our minds.  Check out the podcast for all the nitty gritty.

Episode 2: 04/14/2016, Terminal 5, New York, NY.

In this episode we discuss Ween's triumphant return to New York City.

The band was still just a couple months out from breakup territory, and adrenaline was running high, both in the crowd and on the stage. Ween did not disappoint. They brought standards and rarities, both with a vigor and acuity that showed Ween could overcome any hiatus. The night was a blast and just about perfect. Tune in for all the deets!

Episode 1: 10/27/1996, The Trocadero, Philadelphia, PA.

Regulators, mount up. In this episode we discuss how we first got into Ween, and the first show ever, on the Twelve Golden Country Greats tour.

The story begins for us in the winter of ‘96.  For me, it was listening to Chocolate and Cheese for the first time ever as I rode home from volleyball practice, and just being totally blown away by “Voodoo Lady,” while Shane just remembers that the first person we knew who had the album was a buddy of ours who had gotten it through BMG solely for the gratuitous nature of the lady on the cover.

Twelve Golden Country Greats landed that summer, and by the next fall we had caught wind of tour dates and a show at Philadelphia’s own Trocadero.  Shane got the tickets and thus began our love affair with Ween live. Join us as we tell the tale of the show, go through the setlist, and recount the high points of the show.  It may be almost 25 years ago, but after relistening to the show, the memories sure did come rushing back!  Once brown, forever brown.
