  I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND!

Ween
July 9, 2008
Nashville
City Hall


Holy hot shit. What a show. First time I'd traveled outside Athens or Atlanta to see the dudes, and shit was it fun. I had to go up there for work and tied in this show with my trip, so it was a huge bonus. Ayers and I got to our hotel on Wednesday around 4 - popped a few cold ones while watching Fire In The Sky on HBO. We call down to the desk for a cab around 6. This "woman" answers the phone and says it will be here in 15minutes. We go down there and the "woman" is not a "woman" its a dude. With a voice higher than fucking Mike Tyson. Shim asks..."where you boys going tonight?" we said down town and he wanted to know "you boys going to the club?" explained that we're going to see a show and then he says "well my name's HERSCHEL and when you guys get back if you need anything be sure to call down to me!" Hilarious. We walk out the cab comes and its happens to be the fucking most racist cab driver in all Tennessee. Halfway through the ride we also realize he might be drunk. He asks if we want to hear some jokes. He then tears into about 10-15 of the worst off color jokes off all time. Then yells at a black dude out the window and tells him to "suck this white cock" then yells at some girls walking around asking if they want to come party whith him in the "garden patch"???? It was all i could do not to jump out of the van. Some homeless dude was sitting there when we got out and he yells at him and convinces the guy to give him a quarter. FUCKING WEIRD!!!

Get out and he had dropped us off at the ween forum preparty thing at some bar called the Flying Saucer. About 400 kinds of fancy beer on tap. I got railed on for ordering a miller light, fuck off hipsters. Met up with this dude who bought one of those weendawg shirts from me in Athens. He told me that he took his shirt to Bonnaroo and saw 5 other dudes wearing them! Hilarious. Had a few beers and head to the venue. This was the second to last show at this place before it closes down and gets converted to an Urban Outfitters...hilarious. Nashville is getting pretty posh. 1,500 capacity and it was sold out - 2 MUTHERFUCKING PEOPLE checking ids. So the line was out the fucking ass and it was raining. Oh well. We got in there, got to the bathroom, got to the bar and Ween starts to a half empty place because the line was still so long.

They opened with "Dont Shit Where You Eat" - totally knocked me on my ass, hadnt seen that one before an it kind of set the tone for a total brownout of a night. They were on fucking total fire. SLAYING and the crowd was giving it back too. A little ways in they ignite "Roses Are Free" and were feeling it so much they extened the jam (which they normally dont do on this jam) and JUST HAD TO KICK THAT SOLO ONE MORE TIME. Deaner was bent over just fucking riffing out of his mind. Other huge highlights were: Flutes of Chi, Your Party, Woman and Man, My Own Bare Hands, Light Me Up, Sorry Charlie, Springtheme, and of course Buckingham Green. One cool moment of the night was when they invited Bobby Ogden up on stage to jam 2 songs off the country album with them. He was the original studio musician who played on that album and toured with them. Special treat. Best part of the night though hands down was the fucking encore. Ayers and I decided to push way up front b/c we were jamming mid way back most of the time. They come out and the shit was immediately on - almost like they were daring themseves to jam it. ALL LATINO ENCORE: Fiesta > Puertorican Power > El Camino > Buenos Tardes!!!! HOLY SHIT! And they went from song to song with almost no time between, so when Gener hit the opening line of Buenos Tardes, the fucking place ERUPTED! It was so fucking crazy i cant explain it. Took some cool pictures below. Under them is the full setlist. GHAD DAMN!!!!
