So not only was I at this show, but the voice yelling stupid shit at them throughout the set (stuff like "We don't care about God!" and "Jesus was WAY cool!") is my good friend Jim. The two of us, and a third friend named Joe, had gone to see the Dead Milkmen who were the headliners of this show. We had never heard of Ween but as soon as they started playing, Joe and I were into it. Jim... not so much. So he proceeded to heckle them, much to our chagrin. As much as I hate that he did that, it's pretty crazy to be able to watch this show again almost 32 years later. Even crazier is re-watching it and seeing myself in the crowd at 43:53, at the bottom of the screen wearing a Yankees cap! To all who watch, enjoy and I'm sorry for my stupid friend and his big mouth!

I am so thankful this exists. These boys are so clearly on acid, and watching this video tripping is like nothing else. These boys immerse me in the essence of the boognish. Hail.
To say this is amazing is kind of insulting- insulting to Ween- that is. One would think a group like this would self-destruct in short order, but they built these songs and vibes into one of the most colorfully unpredictable and rewarding catalogs in music. The fact that Papa Gener could rage so hard for a full 20 years before full meltdown and then re-emerge from the ashes so triumphantly just underscores their collective greatness. All hail the Might Ween! Credit must also be given to the internet for allowing this. These trail markers from our heroes were not always available at the touch of a button. Cheers.
I think this show is brilliant, and I've been binging their entire discography over the past month including legendary live shows at Chicago and All requests live. They are clearly fucked up on mushrooms and watching this show with that in mind makes it a lot better imo, as they're still kicking ass and performing relatively abrasive material in front of pretentious sheltered youths of NYC, just a masterclass in Live Trolling.
Best version of 'Tender Situation' ever to be heard by man. I remember downloading the audio of this show on BT close to 15 years ago & have been looking for the infamous "Taste the waste fucker, taste the waste" version for the past year; lest I say my night was made tonight.
Yeah - it's goddman amazing! Are you familiar with their live album, "Paintin' the Town Brown"? There's an amazing version of "Tender Situation" on that one and it's followed by the absolute, hands-down HEAVIEST version of "Awesome Sound" that I've ever heard!!
@@wangson I am familiar with the album sir, very classy. The versions you referenced are indeed excellent, live Ween is really something else... The albums all polished can be offputting for some, but I guarantee if those same people saw them live their tune would change!
@@ItsDallasSallad Oh absolutely. They remain a band that is well worth the price of a ticket - not only to watch the spectacle and listen to them wail, but for some, there are better than a few concerts that are perhaps more akin to endurance tests for Ween-uninitiates. For the rest of us though, 4 hours of live Ween is like the ideal medicine, baby!
The way they slide right into Boing here has got to be one of my favorite Ween moments.. a prime example of the kind of telepathy these 2 were demonstrating on stage at this point in their career

I've loved ween for a long time now but I don't think I truly knew what they were about until seeing this show. I feel kinda embarrassed that I didn't quite understand it.This is really why people love them. This particular show.
And all their other shows and their albums lol. They are a fucking great band their discography is just so full of ridiculous songs that its hard to take in at first but they seriously fuckin' rock and put on a hell of a show.
One of the best concert videos I've ever seen. Catches Ween near their creative height on a great evening. All hail Boognish! This is about as brown as it gets.
This was the tour I first got to see them on. Small underground club 10 bucks to get in and no idea who they were. It shaped my idea of what music could be.
This is amazing! To think I was lucky enough to play that same stage many years later. It would be great if ween did an anniversary tour in this style. Old school ween. Boognish would be very pleased.
Oh boy, if it wasn't for Kurt Vile chosing one of their albums (The Mollusc) on "What's In My Bag?" I would have never heard of these guys! 🌿Thanks Kurt! 🌿 🙋♀️ WEEN you've got a new fan!
they really go for it. like he’s channeling joe cocker. i think they are way too much for this crowd who doesn’t seem to get them. the songs and lyrics are great 👍 the performance is hilarious awesome show 👏

Jim led to some good banter tho, thx for the comment my dude
Holy shit!! That's so cool, seriously. You saw history be made that night ... so jealous
Is Jim still a douchebag?
Ultimate time travel destination.
YES!
This feels like Ween in its purest form
I wish that for just 5 minutes I could feel the way that it looks like Gener feels when he's singing "Captain Fantasy"
This Tender Situation is so fucking amazing. Mickeys weird dancing/groping. Also a super brown solo by Gene..
I was there...I was 17!
you are so lucky
what was it like
I was eleventeen. Not quite cool enough yet for this act
I was negative 2months old

fantastic
What a great time in music. I mean dam Nirvana Nevermind was just released the week before. Jerry and Zappa were still alive.
This took place on the date of my parent's wedding. There is a slight chance I was conceived on the same night Ween got this fucking brown. Righteous
Right on! I was most likely carbonating in my mother's test tube at this point in time
Holy cow. For some perspective, I graduated from college in May of 1991. On 10/12, I was trying to figure out how to earn a living.
We were all conceived at this moment
the spirit of boognish was with them on this night.
The most underrated part of this video is when Gener turns around to the mural of a HERON and GRASS and just says "DUCK and...TREES..."
While deaner is talking about seeing a dead guy that morning too
34:24
I am so thankful this exists. These boys are so clearly on acid, and watching this video tripping is like nothing else. These boys immerse me in the essence of the boognish. Hail.
i think they’re on shrooms they used to do those a lot
Definitely mushrooms
i ate mushrooms and watched this whole show once. life-changing experience, wEEn are the best rock band of all-time
They are on shrooms - I chatted with them after this show, and we discussed it:)
@@nomadicnoize i envy you. If I had a time machine I'd go to this show first

This is one of my fav shows of there's ever

This performance of Captain Fantasy is what dreams are made of.
How many times you think they got thrown off stage before someone realized they're the best god damned pure gauva gold??
I never saw Deaner go this long without a cigarette. I wish I could have seen them as a duo. Great post .
Deaner's shredding skill always take me off guard. Such a thing of beauty!
he hot too
@@bocolatebhipbookie Sexy hunk of man, indeed
Genes singing on captain fantasy is AMAZING best version I’ve heard
The way they slide right into Boing here has got to be one of my favorite Ween moments.. a prime example of the kind of telepathy these 2 were demonstrating on stage at this point in their career
Fucking magical is all I can describe they're browness.
Deaner pressed ‘play’ on the tape-player- then we hear a 1, 2, 3, 4 count-in on guitar that was on the tape
basically the tape said: “the song starts now.”
but still, it sounds and looks so good
This Tender Situation is so good.
Deaner's fucking hand motions man
12:14 Captain Fantasy!!!!! 52:26 Fat Lenny!!!!
this could be the best 58 minutes of music on the internet
This has to be some of the greatest, old footage, ever!!
There was some really great footage of Ween live in Amsterdam, but I think it's got erased. Ween at Paradiso or something. Lang Leve Paradiso!
WOW ! Ween as a duo were some of my favorite shows ! PHILLY GUY HERE !!! KHYBER PASS WAS A FUN ONE !
How does someone in 91 get footage this good!
Probably because people are like "heh, this weird band that has a DAT rhythm section is playing live, I gotta document this"
ikr
Come on, really? Sure, the camera might have been as big as a suitcase but it wasn't entirely the stone ages
Your funny
I was 2 days old when this performance was happening

my all time favorite recording. I think i've watched this 100 times. not even an exaggeration
One of the best concert videos I've ever seen. Catches Ween near their creative height on a great evening. All hail Boognish! This is about as brown as it gets.
This rules. I had a copy of this on VHS given to me by Jesse O, who shot this. The tape is long destroyed Thrilled to see up! Thanks!
i watch this at least once a week
They're having SO much fun. Comfy shit right there.
That tender situation, my god
Gener during Marble Tulip.... "This is some VERY heavy shit, man"
Best tender situation.
This was the tour I first got to see them on. Small underground club 10 bucks to get in and no idea who they were. It shaped my idea of what music could be.
i love this show i listen to it often. gene is a trip. and an amazing singer. all hail the mighty ween!
mang
"youre still a little caught up in your fantasy"
"i can tell"
i love how micky brings gene back. brothers of ween back then.
This is amazing! To think I was lucky enough to play that same stage many years later. It would be great if ween did an anniversary tour in this style. Old school ween. Boognish would be very pleased.
I would just to see them play again
Was there ever a time when Dean was not super fucking solid? Most consistent, powerful guitarist
Undeniable. The collective fuck up on goin gets tough is golden though
They are Ween!
BENEATH THE REACHES OF SOUND
Yeess, you are all beginning to taste it... it is ween...
this is my favorite band.
Holy shit... LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL.
this is exactly what I wanted
Saw Ween in '07, '08, and '17.....and I never REALLY saw them until I found this.
Thank you.
RIP Wetlands. RIP brain cells. Long LIve Ween. So Brown it is green!
beautiful poem
“and then there was ween.”
Them bois are dosed that's awesome. Great footage. A real gem
15:30 G: Tonight I'm kinda like Jerry Garcia without his voice...
D: plays spankin' "friend of the devil" riff
Yesss so good
47:50 You're welcome
KWEEWFJKFSK HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Love young gener
My first Ween show.
I tripped on mushrooms to this show burned to a DVDr... One of the best trips ever
What a show!!! What a SETLIST!!! This was Ween at their brownest!
unique, and actually good
One of the best live shows in history. I was 3 when this took place.
I was born two years after this took place
89 gang
Probably my favorite live performance next to Live in Chicago
Agreed! Life savers.
Early 90's Ween. In their prime.
Love this!!! Thank you for posting!!!
Little did they know, they’d end up writing one of the greatest songs in history: The Argus... or maybe they did know? Boognish knows all
fr, that song is a masterpiece
mmm ween live at the wetlands time yeahhhh
Oh wow, I just realized a couple of people were yelling at Gene to get up off the floor at the end of Reggaejunkiejew.
Spent many a night dancing in front of the fan at the "Sweatglants." Miss those days
This is fucking awesome
This is insane to watch. I love WEEN. Now I’m questioning my like because they’re this good
Totally enthralling performance
Been out the pod for less than 2 weeks at this point
This is the best thing in the whole world
That performance of Marble Tulip Juicy Tree is fucking phenomenal
they knew they were legends
Best ween live. Prove me wrong
geener is mushed out jezuse
34:35 so, does anyone know Brian Lansky is? What band he is from? I want to know who is the original ReggaeJunkieJew is.. :)
apparently he stole gene's girlfriend and took her to Jamaica. they said "he's like 4'10" and "addicted to heroin".
I miss zero fucks Gener.
This is one of the best for sure!
Fuck yes, Captain Fantasy
Gener is one trippy dude.
dean commits so solidly. he'd be a great actor.
THIS IS THE BALLLLZZZZZ
sae them early ish london camden underworld. prob best music experience ive had.
Epic.
21:33 dean plays a lick that sounds REALLY similar to a lick in marquee moon!!
dude YES!! Tone sounds exactly like Richard Lloyd on the Marquee solo for a moment there!
@@ianst.george2664 i literally dont remember making that comment lmaoooooooooooo but glad someone else heard the same thing
Thank you so much for uploading this
First time hearing Seconds, what a fucking great jam
thank you for sharing this holy shit!

Gene & Deaner are trippin' balls in this vid... I love it!

i think they are way too much for this crowd who doesn’t seem to get them.
the songs and lyrics are great 👍 the performance is hilarious
awesome show 👏
honestly though this crowds gets them more than a lot of others
Like 600 :) Sweet upload!!!
Holy SHIT this version of Marble Tulip Juicy Tree.
Deaner's solo, unbelievable..
The audience “just wasn’t ready”. 🤘📛
Marble Julip Juicy Tree is epic as well holy shit
