Boognish Rising: Ween Live at Constitution Hall

G.L. and I went to DAR to see Ween last night. A very strong performance from Dean, Gene, and their friends Claude, Dave, and Glenn. More on it later.

Man, what a shit show.

The acoustics in DAR Hall were horrific - the vocals bounced all over the room.

The guys sounded loose and out of practice.

We left after an hour - disappointed and shocked. Nothing like their shows in the late 90's.

Hmm, yeah. Well, since you only stuck around for a third of the show, let me be the first to tell you that the rest of it was actually quite good.

The sound did initially suck, but also got a lot better. The venue didn't suit them particularly well either, and it's the first night of a tour -- probably why they sounded a little loose and rusty. But it was still a worthwhile performance in my book.
