Ween concluded their three-night stand at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y. last night. Sunday’s show stayed lively with a profuse 32-song setlist pulled from diverse ends of the band's discography.
Mickey “Dean Ween” Melchiondo and Aaron “Gene Ween” Freeman kicked off the set with “Fiesta” from 2007’s La Cucaracha, the band’s last studio album.
Later on, Ween blasted the unexpected “Suckin the Blood From the Devil’s Dick,” which they last played on March 4, 1995, at T-Birds Cafe in Ashbury Park, N.J.
Soon after, Pure Guava’s smash, “Don’t Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy),” was played. During the second half of the show, Ween pumped out other fan-favorites like White Pepper’s “Stroker Ace,” Chocolate and Cheese’s “What Deaner Was Talkin’ About,” and Live at Stubb’s “Homo Rainbow,” before wrapping up the mega set with Quebec’s “If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All).”
A two-song encore commenced with The Crucial Squeegie Lip’s knockout, “You Fucked Up,” followed by another hit from Pure Guava, this time “Poopship Destroyer,” to conclude their Capitol Theatre run.
