zimmerman pt3 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 So last Friday Ween kicked off their West Coast tour in Girdwood (40 minutes outside Anchorage; it's a skiing/snowboard town with a vibrant hippie/heady presence/vibe). They sold out this cafeteria-like shed (aprox 600 people). The atmosphere inside was awesome: security way-lax, moshing/stage diving up front, square dancing on the side, dancing on tables. The band responded kindly to the energy/chaos with a 3 hour show (no setbreak) with over 30 songs that covered their entire career. Personal highlights: Happy Coloured Marbles, Springtheme, Touch My Tooter, She Fucks Me, Final Alarm, Ace of Spades (kicked my ass!), ooh and Don't Squeel on a Pusher!!! Overall the show was a lot of fun! But I still prefer their studio work Take Me Away Dont Get 2 Close Freedom OF 76 Nan HIV Spinal Meningitis Happy Colored Marbles Buckingham Green Albino Sunburned Girl Final Alarm Bananas & Blow Voodoo Lady Springtheme Touch My Tooter Fat Lenny Awesome Sound Zoloft B-Day Boy Tried & True She Fucks Me Help Me Scrape The Mucus Off My Brain Joppa Road I Dont Want It Frank Mollusk Piss Up A Rope Stroker Ace You fu©ked UP Ace Of Spades Chant > Cant Put My Finger On It Someday **** Italian Restaurant (B. Joel) Never Squeal On The Pusher LMLYP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairySari Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Holy FAWK! Heady one you prefer all you want I know from the way your talking about this and the songs you highlighted you know your sh!t and know this is the sh!t. There are a string of shows on recent record, including the Fraternity of Eagles, DC at the 9:30 and the Bonnaroo as well as a recent Trenton, NJ show about 14 years to the day after Rollins rant in the same town, that are just off the charts. My sense and what I've read is that Aaron and Mickey have been to a tonne of shows and know when the guys lay on the new sh!t at the expense of what everyone wants to here. They just DELIVER, deliver, Deliver. The Nan is of course a gem, highlighting Final Alarm (I'm presuming Claude sang that?), Springtheme only betrays your headiness. And mutherfuggin' Italian Restaurant, I don't know that they've ever done that although they've done vamps and actual versions of Mike McDonald's What A Fool Believes lately. And Mutherfuggin' 'Don't squeal on a pusher Never lie to your mama'! That is off the charts good I have to get to these shows from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmerman pt3 Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 -ok, to clarify, NAN put a fat grin on my face; -Springtheme always RULZ: what made it special was that it sounded different from the studio version. -Claud did sing Final Alarm - Gene only sang the first verse or so of Italian Rest; they cut it short (maybe because no one recognized it or cared where it was going) with Gene saying, "This is a work in Progress". -thought of you Luke during Birthday Boy -oh yeah, I forgot to highlight AWESOME SOUND!!! Never thought I'd ever hear that one live; much different and exploratory than the Pod version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 All things told I like the Girdwood show a touch better on paper although the Basom, Demon Sweat, Sorry Charlie (!!), Sarah, Pony and Squealch are all sweet choices. Looks like it's gonna be a raging run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmerman pt3 Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 thanks for the pics Luke; your contribution to the headee scene is immeasurable. Kidding; appreciate it! In regard to the stage diving, there was a funny incident: you know in the latter half of the Mollusk where they repeat in an echo, "Yes, Yes, Yes... No, No, No", well as this dude stage dived the crowd split leaving a gap for him to crash onto the floor; the band responded by shaking their heads and emphasizing the "NO, NO, NO" part; jokes!

purple foot Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 HAHAAHHA. thats great, stage diving for the mollusk. Reminds me of this time some jackass was crowd surfing in a section that he had no business crowd surfing in. All of a sudden this body comes flying out of nowhere and clips my buddy on the way down on the head. The sound he made when he hit the floor was disgusting. sounded like he broke something for sure. he's looking at us for help and we're looking back at him laughing. thats what you get for trying to pull that sh!t off you stupid fu©k. Meanwhile my buddy's got a mild concussion and he's leaning hard on me to stay up. NO sympathy for stage diving injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 That's fu©king hilarious heady one. You've got to figure they make in depth arrangements for their drug rider when playing up there. They must have been whacked (as per usual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
