Welcome back listeners! Join us as we go back to the year 2002 to chat about a truly seminal moment of Ween history, the twin shows at John and Peter’s on October 6th, 2002, that served as a warm-up for the Concerts for Claude that ran the following two nights.
Due to Claude’s terrible car accident on August 7th, just two months earlier, Ween decided to raise some money for his recovery. So they turned a two night stand at the Bowery Ballroom, that they already had booked, into the Concerts for Claude benefit shows. Needing a drummer, they brought in Josh Freese and taught him 50 songs in a matter of days. What can you say about Josh Freese? He’s a pretty legendary “drummer for hire” and has played with all kinds of acts, from Guns N’ Roses to Devo, just to name two. It turned out he was definitely up for the task, and Ween rocked out a couple of great shows!
Well, I don’t want to say too much more, because you really should just just tune into our latest episode to hear all about it!
