[DID NOT ATTEND: December 10 & 11, 2021] Ween
When I was in college, Ween was a new novelty band singing silly songs about Daisies. I enjoyed them and explored their back catalog a bit. Then I forgot about them.
In the intervening years they apparently turned into a jam band favorite, with devoted fans and three hour concerts.
In 2015 I saw Gene Ween open for Modest Mouse (I think Ween was on hiatus at the time). I was surprised by Gene’s set because it was goofy but well done.
I put Ween on my “bands to see” list, but I put them in the least urgent category.
I thought about seeing them at the Met Philly, but it seemed too fancy or something. And the more I thought about it, the more I decided I just couldn’t bring myself to go to a Ween show. I have (unfairly, perhaps) made their audience into a bunch of people I don’t want to be near for two hours.
So I won’t take them off my list of bands to see, but I feel like circumstances will need to be perfect for me to go.
