I just saw these guys last night in Hallandale. Holy Shit!
They really sound very good live and they definitely sound like they've improved their 
live sound, since at least a few years ago. I have a tape of a show in Buffalo from a 
few years back. It features a far less polished sound then what we got last night, even 
though the venue (casablanca) sucked and it sounded like they were struggling with 
technical side (acoustics and equipment) for the length of the evening.
Which, by the way, was cut off short to the apparent surprise of the brothers. 
The show started about twenty minutes earlier than the advertised '8:00 p.m." on the 
ticket stub. 
"A bonus???" I wondered. Hell no. They promptly ended at nine (or a few minutes after) 
Some bullshit about another band coming on. WHAT THE FUCK!
Here I was, finally enjoying my first evening with the object of my musical obsessions 
for the past four years. And they really rocked and sounded tight, and played a setlist 
which drew from all over their discography(aids, a rippin' mollusk, nan, Dr. Rock, 
AWSOME SOUND, Wind Cries Ma....?, Impromptu P'n 4 the Man, and, my pesonal 
favorite, the Stallion-pt. 1), and they looked like they were having so much fun, and I
scored a seat with an obstructed view so I could kick back, chill with a budweiser, 
carelessly smoke a few buts and listen to my boys. Then fuckin' deaner starts talking 
about a time schedule, and that they'd have to be off the stage by nine.
 What the dilly yo, bitches?
Suddenly, their schtick about taking a five minute break between songs didn't seem so 
fitting. And alas, Gener, closes out with, a dragging (albeit funny) version of 
Buenos Tardes Amigo. 
I didn't stick around to listen to the next band, no matter how great Gene says the are. 
Fuck Cafe Casablanca, and if Ween really knew they
were gonna play an abbreviated show, Fuck Ween.
Long live Ween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
