Nice site, guys. Just thought I'd send you my impressions of Ween's 1'st
Ft. Collins stop- the show was mindbending as expected. I arrived late
due to various things, not the least of which was a large pile of fungus
coursing through my blood stream. I walked in to see the boys thrashing
through "Rip Van Winkle", a song I certainly didn't expect to see, but
'twas nice nonetheless. Then they did a slightly sped up "Piss on A
Rope", quickly followed by "The H.I.V song" (with much audience
participation) and a beautiful "The Mollusk". Their stage lighting was
very impressive under my chemically altered vision, and I think I saw
god somewhere between "Dr. Rock" and "Awesome Sound." truly awesome
awesome sound-it lasted at least 20 minutes. Other highlights include a
frantic "Push Th' little Daisies" (crowd went fucking wild) and "The
Blarney stone" (a truly awe-inducing moment- beer bottles aloft and the
whole deal. somewhat disappointing ending- deaner said 'O.K, were gonna
do heavy metal now- that's what we do when you're not paying attention."
then they did some heavy metal jam thing I didn't recognize. Oh did I
say they did A tear for eddie? they did and truly righteous it twas too.
Many long solos and free form improvs. a beautiful night for da boognish
indeed.
