Ween continued their run along the East Coast last night, hitting the House Of Blues in Boston, MA for a great Tuesday night showing. The band recently put the “Freedom of ’76” into Festival Pier at Philadelphia, PA last Sunday, and moved their way to Boston to keep things going. The band, which includes Gene and Dean Ween (aka Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo Jr.) with Claude Coleman,Jr., Dave Dreiwitz, and Glenn McClelland, got to work on a great show that featured very few repeats from the last show.
The band opened with White Pepper track “Exactly Where I’m At,” and brought out rarities like “Japanese Cowboy,” “Papa Zit” and so many more that hadn’t been played since the band’s Terminal 5 run in April. Of course, the band worked in some of their biggest hits as well, like “Transdermal Celebration,” “Spinal Meningitis,” “Bananas And Blow” and more.
One of the big highlights of the night came in the encore, when the Weens (aka Gene and Dean) returned by themselves and performed “Squelch the Weasel” from their debut album, GodWeenSatan: The Oneness. Considering the tension between them caused the band to split, it must have been an emotional moment to see the band’s co-founders playfully performing together on stage.

Ween will head to LOCKN’ Festival this weekend, playing one set each on Thursday and Friday nights. You can check out the full setlist from last night, below.
