One of the major music headline themes of 2016 has been reunions. Between A Tribe Called Quest, Guns N’ Roses, The Flecktones, John Mayer Trio, and more, fans have been blessed with an opportunity to see these once-dominant acts light up a stage again. Of course, few have been as exciting as the great Ween, who returned in February of this year after not performing for several years.
After three performances at Broomfield’s 1st Bank Center and an appearance at Okeechobee Music Festival, the group returned to New York’s Terminal 5 on April 14-16, hitting NYC for the first performance since Halloween of 2011.
The first night was complete with fan-favorites like “Roses Are Free,” “Chocolate Town,” “You Fucked Up” and more, with big time free-form segments coming in tracks like “Pandy Fackler,” it was ultimately an unforgettable and reaffirming night of music. Through a total of 29 songs, Ween brought fans back through their extensive catalog and into the cosmos.
