I was a fan but I'm not sad. I think they peaked on God Ween Satan, and lost me by the Mollusk. They still had good stuff on the Mollusk and after but nothing that floored me.

I don't know that I can agree that they peaked there. White Pepper has some sick stuff on it. Also, I suggest you check out Craters of the Sac if you haven't listened to it. It's them at their raunchiest, but it's brilliant stuff. Any track could have been on The Pod.

This does make me sad. I've always thoroughly enjoyed Ween concerts. Boognish knows, it is the end of an era.

One of the three best shows I ever saw was Ween on the GWS tour at St. Andrews hall. I also walked out of a ween show during the mollusk tour in Boston, they were absolutely fucking terrible that night. I kind of thought you walked out of that show with me, but maybe you missed that one.

That was me, and I was with you at the fucking brilliant St. Andrews show. That show in Boston I mremember was the last one of their tour. They were stoned, drunk off their ass, and truly did not give even one fuck that night. The St. Andrew show was pure energy and inspiration and sick jams.

The only show I saw in Boston was for their Country Greats tour. It was a great show. Remember we sneaked into a student function at Tufts to see them, but they took so long to play that we went home before they did? We stepped over Dean who was sitting on the stairway.

Hmm. 12 Golden Country Greats was so different, but right up there with GWS for me...

Maybe the mollusk tainted me, like seeing that someone has a full set of Big Fat Nasty Mamma's porno mags, you never see em the same way after.
