It was an amazing Sunday night here in Austin. Ween rocked 
Liberty Lunch like never before. The only drawback was the 
heat. The SMALL venue "Liberty Lunch" has a shitty 
ventilation system plus no A/C and with over 1,000 people 
at this show....it was not a good situation.  I was in the 
second row right in front of Gene and it was extremely hard 
to get any air to breathe. Gene was cool enough to give 
these girls behind me a bottle of water because there were 
about to dehydrate.Anyway Ween did their best to make you 
forget about the fucked up enviroment and it worked!!!

This is the 4th time I've seen them (since Pure Guava)and 
my jaw was on the floor. I talked to Claude after the show 
and he said it was definately one of the longest sets they 
ever played(They played just under 3 hours). He also said 
they were happy to have an extra day off(very rare) here in 
Austin, so they were going to play golf on Monday. I hope 
they had an early tee time because its no fun to play in the 
"hot as fuck" Texas afternoon heat. He also mentioned 
Ween would be doing a fairly extensive tour after the Horde 
tour and he is still shopping labels for Amandla's Falling 
Alone. The following is a fairly close set list(in order) for the 
night but there could be some mistakes:

Dancing in the Show tonight
HIV song
What Deaner was talkin about
Freedom of 76
Golden Eel
Pony(Mick said it was a particulary tasty version...
and it was)
Mollusk
Frank
Daisies
sketches of winkle
Awesome sound (the song of the night in my opinion 
(15 minutes long)
Pumpin for the man
Pork Roll Egg @Cheese
Tender Situation
A tear for Eddie
Waving my Dick in the Wind
She wanted to Leave
Buckingham Green
Baby Bitch
Now I'm freaking out
Can't put my Finger on it
Piss up a Rope
Richard Smoker
You Fucked Up
Squelch the Weasel
Ocean Man
Booze me up and get me high
Spinal Meningitis 
Blarney Stone
Tick
Dr. Rock
Hot for Teacher (yes they covered Van Halen and they 
nailed this song!)
Paradise City (GNR)
Stallion Pt. 3
Don't Get to Close to my Fantasy
Buenos Tardes Amigos
Big Jilm 


Most of these songs ended up being long jams which 
made it even better.They have a new bass player and 
keyboard player(they both kicked ASS!). Anyone read 
the Raygun article on Ween???? I'd like to know what 
happened to Andrew Weiss.

I saw about 2 or 3 video cams in the crowd......so I'm 
gonna try and find out who has copies by placing an 
ad in the local music rag and hopefully get a copy...or 
two.?

Every Ween show I've seen has been great but...........
....they are in rare form .............go see them!

Hey kiddies,
Ween played an cool set last night in Austin.They rocked 
the large crowd late into the night and returned for two 
extended encores.  Opening band, Mister Pink and the 
Fuzzy Wigglies didn't fare so well.  At the end of their set 
they asked an obligitory "who wants to hear another 
song?" to which the audience unamiously replied "no!"
They had the tact to then leave and promptly return to 
their parents' basement for more practicing.

Ween set list included:

Dancing in the show tonite
The mollusk
Waving my dick in the wind
The blarney stone
Spinal menegitis
Push the little daisies
Big jilm
Doctor rock
Don't get too close to my fantasy
Captain fantasy
Beunos tardes amigo
Frank
Aids
Hot for teacher
The mullosk
