Ween - Roses are Free - Live from Bonnaroo 2002

[@mikecalex]

I remember that before they started the song they said something like "This is a Phish song". Got a laugh.

[@peterwhite6811]

I have actually never been to a Phish show that they havent playeds roses are free. And yes i know that its a ween song.

[@dques]

Phish has always sucked. Ween just started to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKfSq3Vso6uCb68

D Ques Nah actually you suck 😂😂

[@naaadr3740]

The boog is immortal

[@deveryshepardson3640]

I have never been to a Phish show that they have played it. Phish’s version of the song is great though! Deaner and Mike Gordon look like they are related!

[@cowie18]

I don't care what anyone says about Ween. These guys are killer in the studio and a real treat live (they can play just about any song by anyone ever written). This band has done things that very few groups can claim. Smart and hardworking jokesters at their best. love these guys

[@chadwickwright2833]

This band has everybody’s respect. They have a satirical sense of humor but don’t be fooled, these guys are serious musicians.

[@kookythymes2838]

Check out their cover of Zeppelins "All Of My Love" huge testament to their abilities.

[@jrnarvepettersen4083]

Ween - the Rosetta Stone of music.

[@gregdedmanrocking4life549]

Well said!

[@xXMACEMANXx]

I just can't get over how fantastic the guitar is in the whole album. Chocolate and Cheese has to be one of my favorite albums I've ever listened to.

[@favoriteblueshirt]

It's a good one. It's a good one.

[@ogs1mpson609]

Wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. C&C is pure magic.

[@maeamber9593]

mhm mhm mhm it is defenetly up there i love the album

[@SlowVillageBand]

C&c is definitely in my top 5

[@malcolmlo]

I approve this comment.

[@Zadigiscool]

As a Zappa fan, liking Ween is right there.

[@peterkeenan1135]

Drove 24 hours to the festival. Set up a 10 x 20 car canopy. We got called Amish Tent Builders. Some dude next to us trades Heineken for Labatts Blue because he thought the were micro brews. One of the greatest weekend of my life. Great adventure, great drugs, I had a backpack cooler that held a case of beer and kept it ice cold. Snuck it in to every show all weekend

[@deeznutz8033]

So bad ass 😂

[@logandogan272]

Thank you, ween. You taught me not to trust my florist. That is the best advice I have ever had in my life.

[@mh5259]

Push The Little Daises is even more explicit. Gardening porn at its best :)

[@hardlyworking_]

yeah fuck those flower pushers

[@chrissiddall4227]

I've seen Ween live like 6 or 7 times dating back to 1996 and that's the best version of that song I've heard. Pretty damn awesome

[@CocoNoell]

I saw them last night and this song stood out. It was awesome to hear live.

[@laysthechip3356]

I really hope they play it live if I ever get to see them

The lead singer is handsome, I had no idea what they looked like until a few days ago & I've known their music for many years.

[@migbee]

Fat Gener is best Gener. You should look him up now, he looks nothing like this anymore.

[@NicolettenNnicotine]

Young Gener 🌱 is even better but I also think Deaner is equally attractive 😅🥴

[@umphreak9999]

The sudden realization this was over half my life ago almost gave me a panic attack. 10/10, would get generalized anxiety again

Why does that little "circus" sounding guitar bit at 2:35 before the full guitar solo always make me crack up every time??

[@notpsicoh2107]

cuz its funny

[@hisdukeness3037]

I left my face at at the Aragon ballroom on June 25, 2010 during a ween show.... haven't been able to find it since....

[@GordosMama1111]

just remembering being there makes me glad to be alive. no matter what my mood. i can always count on times like these to bring me back home. ahh so much better. thank you!!!

[@devinsiegel7]

I've been a Ween fan for like 7 years but have only ever listened to records. However I honestly have never watched a live performance until now. I never, EVER imagined that they would have been ranked into the Jam-band arena. Mind = blown, but not in a bad way. Only sad, sick individuals could ever not like Ween.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yeah they're really not a jam band, so much as Phish covered them so they were offered a lot of Festival gigs and we're happy to take the paychecks I'm sure ;) certainly capable of jamming but improvisation was pretty rare in most of their tunes. Some exceptions (lmlyp)

[@SaltPyramids]

@@michaelcorcoran8768 i hate when people call ween a jam band, and i hate that they've been lumped into that category

[@TheChicomangman]

This was such a great show! My first time seeing Ween in '02 and didn't know much about them. The version of Spinal Meningitis they did creeped me the f out.

[@adamweber625]

Why they wanna see my spine?

[@yepuhuh93]

Easily one of their best live performances!

[@raymanvonmetal8559]

Hey, Phish, we appreciate the tribute, But this is how it's done properly!

[@NicoleSawyers]

You do know that they only started playing it live, in this style, after Phish did? They credit Phish for this. hahahah

[@gwendolynvassar5340]

I don’t appreciate it

[@pondy1]

i love the close up shot with both boys on the guitar

[@MIKEHUNT-vi8hx]

Boognish creeped into my soul when i was 11. Loved them ever since.

[@JeremyBierker]

Ween has been my favorite band since 2007 when i was 4 years old

[@angelaquigley1950]

I won't say how old I am...😉 BUT I will say that Ween is my absolute favorite everything! Thanks Boognish for making the boys get back together!

[@mariorossipuzza]

just discovered that drummer played sometimes in eagles of death metal too!

[@listeningtojets]

Chocolate & Cheese is a MASTERPIECE! Every song is fantastic. I still cover “What Deaner Was Talkin’ About” when I play solo gigs!

[@shannonmccartney2727]

"Hey, I'm gonna take a quick second and send a special message out to my friends, Aaron and Mickey... Guys, time to get back together and start playing again. That's from me, here at Blossom. WEEN, one of my all time favorite bands, time to get back together and start playing again" - Trey Anastasio 8/7/2015, after finishing "Roses are Free" durish Phish's first set at Blossom Music Theatre. TRUTH, TREY!

They're so young.

Somebody in the scaffolds is wearing the Natural Born Killers shirt I also owned. I was sooo into ween and NBK in 1995. Fun times.

[@fasserosucks2347]

im a huge phish fan and have always loved this song. I had no idea it was ween!!! unfortunately all i used to know about them was they did the unfortunate daisy song. that being said, i have now jumped in deep with ween and there misic is amazing. Get back together guys, you golden age is still on.

[@CiggyRat]

Fassero sucks I felt happy reading that

[@jacobbaker7763]

What’s unfortunate about Push th’ Little Daisies?

Can't wait to see them on The Farm this year!

[@ghop5846]

I fell asleep to TAB at Bonnaroo 2002! It was too much, I sprained my ankle, this was one of Housers last shows also! Good time but when you jump in a cow trough after being crammed in a humid ass field it gets old. If you have an RV completely worth it.

[@KronosTheDeejay]

What an amazing band. Period.

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

[@101Volts]

Why is most of Ween's live footage not of this quality? You have this, then you have the Chicago concert from 2003, and most other footage is either from the crowd or it's 50 - 100 feet away.

[@rdano244]

It costs tens of thousands of dollars to get pro shot video of a concert on this level. It costs zero dollars for bill schmillman to shoot a song on his iPhone. That’s why.

[@wcibbt]

I don't think she was talking about Ween. That footage seems like it's from some random interview at the festival. In 2002 Bonnaroo was indeed a jam band festival and all of the bands she names headlining are jam bands. So she was actually on point.

[@ogs1mpson609]

I always cringe when I hear the term “jam band” Never liked it then, and I don’t like it now.

[@chadwickwright2833]

Ween songs are the farthest thing from jam bandery. They are well written and well thought out. These guys are smart musicians.

[@gregrago9840]

Anyone here the Phish over version live. I know Phish heads who only heard of Ween through that song became fans and attended live shows. I know that Gene and Dean Ween thought the new fans that Phish created were a new type of fan entirely. They are not a hiipy band really. They like dark song lyrics. But these new fans so high on acid or e or something hallucinogenic probably never realized the difference between Ween and Phish are when it comes to the mood of a song. But yeah I also started to listen to them more after Quebec came out. And when I heard the last half of Quebec I realized if they took there songs more seriously like they did there they may have been the new Gratefull Dead or Pink Floyd.
