Night #1. Our pandemic wait was finally over as Ween descended upon Philadelphia’s Metropolitan Opera House for a two-night stint. Join us as we relive two of the greatest Ween shows ever to grace this green Earth. It was amazeballs, so listen in for all the highlights of these two great evenings.
When Ween comes to Philly, you know it’s going to be great. Hailing from New Hope, PA, Ween has always made Philadelphia its big city home. The crowds are usually full of fans who know the words, and if you know anything about Philly, it’s that when it comes to partying hard, these Jawns don’t play. Add on top of that, Ween’s infatuation with the recently reopened historic Philly Met, and you not only have a hometown crowd ready to burn the place down (relax people, it’s a metaphor!) but also a beautiful venue as the backdrop of your dreams.
The theme of the weekend was two-fold: rarities galore and variety of the source material. Both of these were present in spades for the first night! I Wuz Nothin was about as rare as it got, and I barely even recognized it. But it was a sign of what was to come, as the rarities kept piling up. Mononucleosis, Stallion Part 1, I’ve Got To Put The Hammer Down, I Don’t Want To Leave You On The Farm, and Cornbread Red, to name just a few!
Slather on top of that some absolutely shredded jams in songs like Frank and Pandy Fackler, and you really got a freakin’ fantastic night. In particular Frank was a pleasure because it featured Aaron pulling off a rare but beautiful solo of his own. It’s not often that Aaron truly jams on the guitar but he did that night, and he did on Frank. Beautiful!
Night #1 was full of rarities, and Deaner and the rest of the band was in classic form. But little did we know they were just getting started, and that the second night would equal if not exceed the amazingness that was night #1. Stay tuned for our next episode as it covers the second night.
Thanks for listening. Merry Christmas and may the brown be with you!
