Night #2. Our pandemic wait was finally over as Ween descended upon Philadelphia’s Metropolitan Opera House for a two night stint. The first night was truly a night to remember, and we were doubly psyched for what might await us for night #2. Join us as we relive the second night of Ween’s two night stint at the Philly Met. The second night was yet another freaking fantastic evening by Ween.
When Ween comes to Philly, you know it’s going to be great. Hailing from New Hope, PA, Ween has always made Philadelphia it’s big city home. The crowd’s 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 second night! You want wild source material? How about Z Rock Hawaii’s Get A Little Taste Of You? We got more than a little taste of Ween, and it was fabulous!
The second night featured plenty of old school rarities like Can You Taste The Waste?, and Boing, which hadn’t been played live since 1994, before most young Ween fans were born. Springtheme was a delightfully mellow funk jam, and put me in a groove for the rest of the night.
Ween gave us a little bit of everything night #2, from the wild, raunchy and exceptionally rare Sweet Texas Fire, to the philosophical Argus, and onward to the speed metal jam in I’ll Be Your Johnny on the Spot. Deaner game to rock, and as a rock god, he walked among us that night!
Night #2 wrapped up with a couple country tunes to end both sets: Fluffy and then I’m Holding You. It was a great, mellow, way to end two long nights of rock. Fluffy featured an amazingly epic riff that you have to hear to believe, and I’m Holding You, was a call back to the country tour for me, and took me home with sweet songs for dreams.
Thanks for listening. Merry Christmas and may the brown be with you!
