Yeah it did, I saw every show in the NL and the Groningen crowd was by far the 
craziest, the entire room was bouncing, this is no exaggeration, a far cry from 
the super cool crowd in Rotterdam the next night, hardly anybody yelling at 
first, but that only made the brothers work twice as hard, by the end of the 
night they had the crowd on their knees, they played extended jams of every 
song. It was fucking beautiful, Deaner played the solo to Blarney Stone with 
the one string left on his guitar, Claude threw away his sticks and did a drum 
solo with his bare hands, they played Puerto Rican Power, the played Fluffy, 
they rocked the fucking place, then they left and people yelled for more than 
10 minutes straight (i have a theory: ween likes to wait until people shut up 
before they come back out, the thing is everybody is afraid that if they shut 
up ween won't come back out, so they keep on yelling. It makes for some of the 
longest ovations I have ever witnessed) But they came back out,  they ate 
some of the food people had brought, and they played some more songs and a 
super extended L.M.L.Y.P. with long solos from everyone, and then they left 
again and then Gener came back and said I know about you Rotterdam people, 
you're hardcore, that's why we love you so much, and he said it wouldn't be a 
show if they didn't play Buenas Tardes, so they launched into that and the 
cool Rotterdam people finally lost their shit and 2 guys ran all the way up 
front singing along like fucking maniacs, no joke, and throwing their fists up 
in the air, it was real funny, then Gener said what the hell get up up here, 
that's your microphone guys, YES! so they got up there and then we all got up 
on the stage and sang the entire song with the band, there was like 80 people 
up there, singing, dancing around and looking happy as can be. What a fucking 
party! What a fucking show! I thought about it long and hard afterwards and 
reached the conclusion that nobody I've ever seen rocks a party like Ween 
does.  What is it though? Is it the music? Is it the fans? Is it the bros? 
Beats me mang, its all of that and more I guess, all I know is I've seen them 
more than a dozen times now and every show its been completely different in 
its own crazy way and every show its been 100% a fucking blast.  

Anyway, I made recordings of all 4 NL shows, that's like 10+ hours of live 
ween, different sound qualities.  I'm not going to be around for the next 2 
months so if you are interested save my e-mail (minus the NOSPAM) and send me 
your lists at the end of FEBRUARY, no earlier please, it will be of no use.  
Dutch Ween freaks e-mail me & I'll hook you up
