Tender
Ween's softer side...
They didn't play it for us quite so tenderly in Anaheim on Wednesday. What we experienced looked and sounded much more like this. But, regardless, you gotta love a band that isn't afraid to play the quiet stuff to a sweaty, dancing audience. A Tear for Eddie is track 5 on Chocolate and Cheese. And the studio version of Tender Situation is track 2 on Pure Guava, though it might be one of those songs that didn't become great until the limitations of liveness smoothed it out.

And Left the People Running for the Hills
What impressed Giuls most about last night's show was Ween's ability to wear an audience down.
I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a compliment to any other band.
Transdermal Celebration is track 3 on Quebec.
'Cause If You Do
I like that this isn't a straight love proclamation. It's contingent on same-pageness. Which is a pretty good contingency, as contingencies go.
And I like that it's weird because it's Ween and it's not weird.
Stay Forever is track 10 on White Pepper.

Ween's diversity is amazing, and if you haven't heard any of their original stuff, I'd definitely recommend the "Chocolate and Cheese" and "Pure Guava" CDs. As this happens to be an absolutely wicked cover that sounds nothing like most of the rest of their stuff, I thought some people would find this an interesting bridge between a band you're probably very familiar with and one - not so much.

If I Was King
What was Deaner talking about?
What Deaner Was Talkin' About by Ween
What Deaner Was Talkin' About is track 15 on Chocolate and Cheese.
Doin' The Stuff That You Do
The Gene Ween Band stepped in front of a theaterful of screaming Ween fans last night and surprised us all.
They could have opened up with Buckingham Green and turned the whole crowd into lead singers. They could have tapped their Led Zeppelin roots (everybody but Gene plays in an LZ cover band) and rocked Over the Hills and Far Away. But they didn't.
They started the show by playing almost an hour of brand new, unreleased music.
It was unorthodox, courageous, and awesome. A classic Ween move. I danced like crazy, leapt in celebration when they busted out the mini synthesizer for Blue Balloon, sang along what little I could during a second hour that mixed I Fell in Love Today, a couple of older, lesser known Ween songs, and Mr. Sandman Bring Me a Dream in among more new stuff, and screamed in vain for Buenas Tardes Amigo whenever I remembered to.
Only bummer was that Deaner wasn't there.
But dude deserves some time off, and I expect him to come back better than ever for the next tour.
Baby Bitch was my first Ween love, and I thought about attaching it to this post, but, as I mentioned on the Carrot Project blog this morning, I'm feeling the Valentine's Day spirit, so I feel like I need to attach the truest Ween love song I know.
Voodoo Lady is track 10 on Chocolate and Cheese.
