LOCKN’ is off to a steamy start, with sets from Vulfpeck, Umphrey’s McGee, Ween, and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead locking in the foundation for a stellar weekend of jam band festival heaven. With Dean and Gene Ween on site, festival-goers were anxious to see the recently reunited rockers. With part of the audience being newly introduced to the band, and others being die hard fans, the 26-song performance received mixed reviews – some describing it as “too weird” and “noisy” with others understanding the specialty of Ween’s strange material.

Ween fans would describe the set as particularly “brown”, with “A Tear For Eddie”, “Poopship Destroyer”, “Zoloft”, and other drowning melodies taking the energy to a devastatingly satisfying benchmark of awesome. While some fans just didn’t get it, others walked away totally satisfied as the Boognish prevailed. Thanks to Youtube user Boognish Monster, you can listen to the full set below:

Tonight, Ween returns to the stage for round two, promising that last night’s performance was just a “warm up” for tonight. They hit the stage at 6pm, with Phish playing two sets afterwards. It’s a very exciting time to be alive, my friends.
