Ween Live in Chicago 07 - Transdermal Celebration

From the Live in Chicago DVD - Copyright 2004 Ween / Sanctuary Records used with permission.
This is likely the only track I will upload, maybe one more later. Get this DVD/CD combo if you're a Ween fan.
Random side note, Claude Coleman, the drummer, graduated from the high school here in town.

My kids (3 and 5) love this song, the great animated video was their gateway to Ween and now they ask me to play Ween videos all the time on my phone. My 3 year old daughter says "Dada can we watch derm derm celebration?". At the end she says "There goes the little boognish, off on his first walk". I'm so fucking proud. Thank you Ween.

[@PhantomTransmission]

I used to call it trans-myrtle celebration

[@clownmoshpit2778]

Awesome man, I can't wait to have the same kind of connection with my kids one day

Coincidentally, "Little Boognish" is the name of my Ween/The Wiggles mash-up tribute band.

Best buddy introduced me to ween at his high school party when tear for Eddie came on from his iPod mix. I'm 43 now and still bout this shit Ole son. Lost my buddy shortly after high school to drug addiction. Missing him love him , love you , chris

[@danapisani6961]

One of the greatest guitar solos ever created of all time

[@waywardman7897]

Gener's performance in this song is absolutely haunting. His ability to go to low and high is amazing. When he say SPI-KED LEEEEEEEEVAS, demeanor is actually kinda terrifying, but it a really cool way. And when he sings the chorus, I get the feels every time.

[@kevinkennan5758]

For the longest time, I though Deener sang the low-voice parts on their songs, not realizing Gener sings them all.

[@waywardman7897]

@@kevinkennan5758 Yeah. It's crazy how great each of them are at singing.

I'm SURE he was rad, cheers brother.

To say the least 🍻 thanks brother

[@JayReviews]

But where is the mutation that once told me it was safe, if I can't find him? For a while thought he said, "Fucking find him"!

[@Paul-dw2cl]

I always did too

[@LSDforEveryone]

This is actually the first i'm hearing otherwise. Mind blown. Quebec's been in my top 10 albums since 2006.

[@splatbabylon]

Still the best most comprehensive guitar solo in a rock song ever.

[@joesmith172]

I showed my dad this on Father's Day yesterday since I had talked to him about Ween and how much of an eclectic sound they have, and he loved it.

My son introduced me to ween this month with this song as well. Impressive. Red Rocks here we come!

[@ChrisPuckett]

watching them live go from two dudes and a tape deck to this has been pretty remarkable

[@KKAkuoku]

I honestly thought I wouldn't like this song live; the recorded version was (and will always be) heaven to my ears simply because it sounds like it's in F major, even though it's not. But this performance is overwhelmingly beautiful!

[@darkmessengerix]

amen man

[@weakbrainthrombosis]

when done well; live music always wins. There is an energy in live music that doesnt always transfer over to the recording process, and that energy triumphs over the diminished sonic characteristics associated with live music. Also ween rules.

[@zachsmith3]

Actually, the recorded version is in E but it's tuned higher than proper tuning, so it's out of tune.

[@The_North_Meng]

sometimes the live version ruins it, but this just makes it better... it's pure fukking gold man

[@eleven9286]

So.. heaven to your ears is things that sound like they're in F Major, but aren't?..

[@LucyLabrador1]

Their face expressions... XD They really are putting the emotion into it.

[@mobeliskjones]

Still one of the greatest songs ever recorded. This song literally changed my life. I love you, Deener and Gener!!!

[@SalamanderTrash]

[@Cheddar_Wizard]

Amazing solo by good ol’ Deaner. Probably my favorite of his next to Roses Are Free.

[@tanveerhasan2382]

[@stgstg79]

This song, for sure.

[@popolbruh8263]

this is a pretty sad song considering what it's about. the guitar solo is when it hits me.

[@wen2713]

@Linda Niemkiewicz Its about the celebration of life and death and their continuity. The word "transdermal" is referring to evolution or this cycle being celebrated.

[@shawnieBaby]

Because it’s beautiful! Same for me. I’ll take rocking Ween or funny Ween or heartbreaking Ween. Or all at once.

[@brodieramsay204]

The way Gener times that head bang with Clive without even looking is so perfect. I know a musician might not see the spectacle or the wonder of it, but as someone who always starts singing before the vocalist, timing amazes me, and that looks so good

[@kchastain3]

Years later I’ve rediscovered this song and just can’t find any fault with it. It’s immaculate perfection. That soaring solo in the middle of the track of all places is epic.

[@derdoktor206]

Good to know I'm not the only one. If I ever have a playlist of just random songs that is meant to be viewed by anybody who wants to see the music I listen to, I go for the studio version of this song if I have it added to said playlist.
