I have never been to a Phish show that they have played it. Phish’s version of the song is great though! Deaner and Mike Gordon look like they are related!
I don't care what anyone says about Ween. These guys are killer in the studio and a real treat live (they can play just about any song by anyone ever written). This band has done things that very few groups can claim. Smart and hardworking jokesters at their best. love these guys
Drove 24 hours to the festival. Set up a 10 x 20 car canopy. We got called Amish Tent Builders. Some dude next to us trades Heineken for Labatts Blue because he thought the were micro brews. One of the greatest weekend of my life. Great adventure, great drugs, I had a backpack cooler that held a case of beer and kept it ice cold. Snuck it in to every show all weekend
I've been a Ween fan for like 7 years but have only ever listened to records. However I honestly have never watched a live performance until now. I never, EVER imagined that they would have been ranked into the Jam-band arena. Mind = blown, but not in a bad way. Only sad, sick individuals could ever not like Ween.
Yeah they're really not a jam band, so much as Phish covered them so they were offered a lot of Festival gigs and we're happy to take the paychecks I'm sure ;) certainly capable of jamming but improvisation was pretty rare in most of their tunes. Some exceptions (lmlyp)
just remembering being there makes me glad to be alive. no matter what my mood. i can always count on times like these to bring me back home. ahh so much better. thank you!!!
This was such a great show! My first time seeing Ween in '02 and didn't know much about them. The version of Spinal Meningitis they did creeped me the f out.
"Hey, I'm gonna take a quick second and send a special message out to my friends, Aaron and Mickey... Guys, time to get back together and start playing again. That's from me, here at Blossom. WEEN, one of my all time favorite bands, time to get back together and start playing again" - Trey Anastasio 8/7/2015, after finishing "Roses are Free" durish Phish's first set at Blossom Music Theatre. TRUTH, TREY!
Why is most of Ween's live footage not of this quality? You have this, then you have the Chicago concert from 2003, and most other footage is either from the crowd or it's 50 - 100 feet away.
It costs tens of thousands of dollars to get pro shot video of a concert on this level. It costs zero dollars for bill schmillman to shoot a song on his iPhone. That’s why.
I don't think she was talking about Ween. That footage seems like it's from some random interview at the festival. In 2002 Bonnaroo was indeed a jam band festival and all of the bands she names headlining are jam bands. So she was actually on point.
I fell asleep to TAB at Bonnaroo 2002! It was too much, I sprained my ankle, this was one of Housers last shows also! Good time but when you jump in a cow trough after being crammed in a humid ass field it gets old. If you have an RV completely worth it.
im a huge phish fan and have always loved this song. I had no idea it was ween!!! unfortunately all i used to know about them was they did the unfortunate daisy song. that being said, i have now jumped in deep with ween and there misic is amazing. Get back together guys, you golden age is still on.
I wish I new how big they'd be when I saw them in Vegas. In the coolest theater ever in Vegas. The huntridge. No concerts are there anymore. It was a small venue. And to see this crowd wow. I wish I would have embraced it more. I loved it
Yeah and when you watch the 2016 bonaroo performance that's on TH-cam poor Gene looks 30 years older than here even though it was only 14. I didn't recognize him at first. Shit ages you
I'm really interested in what the guy at the end of the video is about to say but the video cuts off. Does anyone know where the rest or the whole show is?
Anyone here the Phish over version live. I know Phish heads who only heard of Ween through that song became fans and attended live shows. I know that Gene and Dean Ween thought the new fans that Phish created were a new type of fan entirely. They are not a hiipy band really. They like dark song lyrics. But these new fans so high on acid or e or something hallucinogenic probably never realized the difference between Ween and Phish are when it comes to the mood of a song. But yeah I also started to listen to them more after Quebec came out. And when I heard the last half of Quebec I realized if they took there songs more seriously like they did there they may have been the new Gratefull Dead or Pink Floyd.
I get so fucking pissed when people credit this song to Phish. They're both some of my favorite bands, but you could pretty well tell it wasn't an orignal Phish composition if they actually listened to the song structure. This is much more tightly wound than any Phish track, at least in a live setting.
Almost everything about the band is sarcastic, so it makes sense the comment is as well...which means he thinks they're the opposite of 'worst', which they are! So it works!
I've heard some rumors that they might be planning something in 2016.... nothing yet 100% confirmed. Hopefully Aaron can maintain his sobriety and perform with Ween in the future.
They always hated the final verse, their producer Andrew made them stick it in there. It's one of the reasons the fucked off and made a country album, because Andrew was becoming the 3rd ween boy

I remember that before they started the song they said something like "This is a Phish song". Got a laugh.
I have actually never been to a Phish show that they havent playeds roses are free. And yes i know that its a ween song.
Phish has always sucked. Ween just started to. th-cam.com/video/jvozB6nFO9M/w-d-xo.html

The boog is immortal

This band has everybody’s respect. They have a satirical sense of humor but don’t be fooled, these guys are serious musicians.
Check out their cover of Zeppelins "All Of My Love" huge testament to their abilities.
Ween - the Rosetta Stone of music.
Well said!
I just can't get over how fantastic the guitar is in the whole album. Chocolate and Cheese has to be one of my favorite albums I've ever listened to.
It's a good one. It's a good one.
Wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. C&C is pure magic.
mhm mhm mhm it is defenetly up there i love the album
C&c is definitely in my top 5
I approve this comment.
Thank you, ween. You taught me not to trust my florist. That is the best advice I have ever had in my life.
Push The Little Daises is even more explicit. Gardening porn at its best :)
yeah fuck those flower pushers

So bad ass 😂
The lead singer is handsome, I had no idea what they looked like until a few days ago & I've known their music for many years.
Fat Gener is best Gener. You should look him up now, he looks nothing like this anymore.
Young Gener 🌱 is even better but I also think Deaner is equally attractive 😅🥴
I've seen Ween live like 6 or 7 times dating back to 1996 and that's the best version of that song I've heard. Pretty damn awesome
I saw them last night and this song stood out. It was awesome to hear live.
I really hope they play it live if I ever get to see them

Too cleannn
Back when Bonnaroo had good lineups.
They had Primus a few years ago I think
Troof
@@logandogan272 Oysterhead was supposed to be there this year
Defenitely better back in the day but they still come correct every year just not as good. Ive been rooin since the 2nd one
I went to 01 n 02, the first 2 anyway. From Nebraska but lived in Tampa at the time. I too am in bugaha
just discovered that drummer played sometimes in eagles of death metal too!
Who ever taped this did a AWESOME Job!
DVD produced for sale.
taped?
recorded ....... taped is out
I left my face at at the Aragon ballroom on June 25, 2010 during a ween show.... haven't been able to find it since....

TRUTH, TREY!
That's pretty much all I ever think about
+Johnny Fever It is so!
And now they are on tour again
Thank boognish
+Steve Meyer I think of this all the time as well. 2-3 months later, announces tour.
Dude at the end is sooooo right I wish we could’ve heard the rest of his answer
Hey, Phish, we appreciate the tribute, But this is how it's done properly!
You do know that they only started playing it live, in this style, after Phish did? They credit Phish for this. hahahah
I don’t appreciate it

@@vegetaAcheetah literally no one said anything about iPhones existing in 2003 🤦♂️nice try though asshole
Easily one of their best live performances!
The sudden realization this was over half my life ago almost gave me a panic attack. 10/10, would get generalized anxiety again
As a Zappa fan, liking Ween is right there.
hell yes I just had to watch it twice I love their style
Styles*
+Steve Meyer YES.
+alex kay Same I've seen it twice
Glenn wearing a Jerry shirt is so wholesome.
i love the close up shot with both boys on the guitar
It was hot that day as the whole thing was. It rained during this set like a little sun shower then Phil and Bobby came on then Trey
*all hipster fans of ween make fun of hippes* *dosent realize the keyboard player is wearing a jerry garcia tshirt*
And the bass player plays for Joe Russo's Almost Dead!!
@Shalom Absalom Not to sure about that
Ew. I hate the word hipster
@@derekjavaphotog Yup, Dave Dreiwitz. He's great!
claude looks so goddamn cool in this
Every video
0:44 Keyboardist is wearing a Jerry Garcia t-shirt. winning!
Will always be epic
They're so young.
Chocolate & Cheese is a MASTERPIECE! Every song is fantastic. I still cover “What Deaner Was Talkin’ About” when I play solo gigs!
I was there. Not a big Ween fan but this was a nice moment
What an amazing band. Period.
a cigar on a guitar
A cigwet on a guitwet
The girl at the end has no idea what she's talking about.
I think she actually does, it's a jam band dude XD jk I don't know

I always cringe when I hear the term “jam band” Never liked it then, and I don’t like it now.
Ween songs are the farthest thing from jam bandery. They are well written and well thought out. These guys are smart musicians.
She is exactly the type I avoid at shows.
this song is way better live
Kezia Naomi I definally agree
I think both are very great
Live version is way better
I think 're equal
I went to the first 3 bonaroos. Great memories
I went to two.
Can't wait to see them on The Farm this year!
Yet another song that could've been a Prince classic
Somebody in the scaffolds is wearing the Natural Born Killers shirt I also owned. I was sooo into ween and NBK in 1995. Fun times.
A friend introduced me to Ween a few days ago, and now i learn they are no more.. such sad news :(
The mix is perfecto
i mean, these solos... wow
Gene's voice is so soothing 😌
I fell asleep to TAB at Bonnaroo 2002! It was too much, I sprained my ankle, this was one of Housers last shows also! Good time but when you jump in a cow trough after being crammed in a humid ass field it gets old. If you have an RV completely worth it.
Why does that little "circus" sounding guitar bit at 2:35 before the full guitar solo always make me crack up every time??
cuz its funny
im a huge phish fan and have always loved this song. I had no idea it was ween!!! unfortunately all i used to know about them was they did the unfortunate daisy song. that being said, i have now jumped in deep with ween and there misic is amazing. Get back together guys, you golden age is still on.
Fassero sucks I felt happy reading that
What’s unfortunate about Push th’ Little Daisies?
actually this is Ween's song. Phish liked it and play it.
Team 🌹- Icon Tech 💕 Love 💕 Studio Musical 🎶 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Amazing musicians.
I've seen them live. Great performance!!
such a great show! so excited they are headling high sierra music festival this year.
i was here with my parents when i was 5
wonderful
3:00 :')
Most satisfying riff ever
I love these guys!!!
Love the cig between the strings
I love Ween
Wow…I haven’t thought about my Bonnaroo experience in quite some time. This was a great reminder. 20 freakin’ years ago! Where does the time go?
Damn, i was in Marine Corps bootcamp when this was recorded. This looks way funner! haha
Man, I wish I were Ween
I wish I new how big they'd be when I saw them in Vegas. In the coolest theater ever in Vegas. The huntridge. No concerts are there anymore. It was a small venue. And to see this crowd wow. I wish I would have embraced it more. I loved it
Ween!!!
these guys ARE rock and roll, take notes
Love Geners gold top 😍
They rule so hard.
Wonderful!
its crazy how in ever video of Ween they are smoking cigs, even during the songs!
they usually play for 3+ hours - no smoke breaks.
@@mj.l just funny how literally they adopted the rock and roll persona
Yeah and when you watch the 2016 bonaroo performance that's on TH-cam poor Gene looks 30 years older than here even though it was only 14. I didn't recognize him at first. Shit ages you
I was there , it was fun times
Amazing 🤩
Go see them any chance you get! Amazing time guaranteed!
Kids these days will never know a Bonnaroo with a good lineup 🙄
No. They will not...
I'm 13 and this is my favorite band.
+⭐ReillyTheBoss⭐ Advanced Warfare, BO 3
yes & yes start young and let boognish creep into your mind and body and soul
Boognish creeped into my soul when i was 11. Loved them ever since.
Ween has been my favorite band since 2007 when i was 4 years old
I won't say how old I am...😉 BUT I will say that Ween is my absolute favorite everything! Thanks Boognish for making the boys get back together!
I'm really interested in what the guy at the end of the video is about to say but the video cuts off. Does anyone know where the rest or the whole show is?
Look up "Number 2" by Colonel Claypools Bucket of Bernie Brains on here.
"It's the big hole that people traditionally threw the dead into" 6:36 .. That's how you catergorise Ween 😂
Heal my soul

100%
I was there. Life was new. Then it wasn’t.
thank you!
This is poppin
Ween owns sorry Phish
Jeff Jackson I always hated the phish version of Roses are free.
I love Phish, but ween does own
These guys need to quit smoking cigarettes if that's even possible - the world needs more of this shit
