Ween Live in Chicago 07 - Transdermal Celebration

[@nuke97]

Absolutely one of the greatest rock songs ever created.

[@lukess.s]

nuke97 and one of the best bands in the world

[@anthonythedeadguy]

Yes

[@tostare]

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

[@toniigx8]

you’re raising them right

[@LSDforEveryone]

Start 'em young.

[@Guy_de_Loimbard]

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

[@elhorrendo7026]

Man, been into ween since I fell asleep on some cheep pot with community radio on and woke up in the night feverish and hearing 'push the little daisies' in highschool. I also have lost dear friends and some songs remind me of them. we never stop missing them. We just go on, often seeing/hearing things that make us think, "I know my mate would have loved this or hated this and have had something hilarious to say about it". Always in our hearts those who went before we wanted them to.

[@mykinfair]

that fucking solo would've given me an out of body experience if I was there

[@cornfusedatbest6693]

NO FUCKING DOUBT. Thank all that is good for KZbin, it's the only way I'll get to experience these awesome Pennsylvanian fukkers.

[@throwaway6712]

This song calmed down my kitten when he freaked out during his first thunder storm. He’s older now but still curls up in my bed purring to ween when I put this on.

[@danapisani6961]

One of the greatest guitar solos ever created of all time

[@MEME-gr3op]

This song actually sounds better live...like how? how is this song so damn good?

[@tanveerhasan2382]

how indeed

[@charlie.something]

We are WEEN

[@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.

[@kirstinline]

he's seen some and will continue to see some shit. a special dude.

[@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.

[@Ginsu_Warrior999]

My older brother may he rest in eternal peace showed me this set and instantly I was hooked. 20 years ago and still feels like just yesterday. One of the many keystones in the arcs of my musical whole. I love you bro, see you on the other side 🤘🏽🕊️🍄

[@Cheddar_Wizard]

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

[@tanveerhasan2382]

@@Cheddar_Wizard I concur

[@kirstinline]

Gener walking up to the mic at the start of this is an act of pure defiance.

[@LucyLabrador1]

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

[@StrategyInformer-sjgold]

Thats Meth... Yikes... He held his shit better than most though.. Perfect performance!

[@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?..

[@ChrisPuckett]

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

[@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.

[@mobeliskjones]

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

[@itsjustmichelle]

yes! Ween always makes me cry. I don't know why

[@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.

[@dredollaz2008]

I saw those guys back in 98 at phillips mill playhouse they kicked ass. It was the greatest night of my life.

[@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]

That solo makes me feel things deep down, like damn, Deaner makes that guitar absolutely sing.

[@ToneArnold]

This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

[@jpetroze666]

[@eleven9286]

[@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

[@TheBillyChocolate]

Deaner's guitar sounds amazing!!!!

[@gab_gma]

this song is reason enough to be happy you've lived in ths timeline to listen to it

[@flybar3344]

Deaner and Gener. The true yin and Yang. Ween has entered my top three favorite bands of all time in a matter of weeks

[@marisols.856]

finally listened to quebec today. i always played their songs “i don’t want it”, “chocolate town” and “tried and true” and thought to myself, why haven’t i listented to it whole?? this song played and i’m so angry at myself for not listening to it sooner. i am in love with this live version.

[@peacefrog9306]

1:15 the voice of God right there...

[@YourCritic]

Awesome song. I know seasoned Ween fans like that they play lots of different genres all in one package, but if they had put out an album of tracks all in the same vein as this, they would probably be one of my favorite bands of all time. That guitar solo @1:57 is absolutely epic - sounds even better than in the studio version, and the studio version is amazing, so that says alot.

[@josephscott6388]

That is a perfect guitar solo. And pretty much just melody tone and absolute command.

[@StunningSteve]

I first discovered ween on South Park with "the rainbow" and enjoyed their music but never went out my way to listen to them. after hearing this it's been on constant repeat. how did it me this long to discover this?

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. But if I'm trying to get somebody into ween specifically, this is always the one I recommend.
