Ween - The Blarney Stone - Live in Chicago

Ween playing The Blarney Stone, at the Vic Theater in Chicago
11/9/03
This also includes the ending credits and of course Claude's funny acting at the end.

[@anokabball24]

the most underrated drinking in the history of song.

[@stevestretch6052]

Anthony Lane I sing it every time I drink man!

[@Michael_______]

No U

[@wowno5763]

Agreed, id always play this when i was getting drunk with my friends back in the day.

[@moodist1er]

I saw gene drink a whole fifth of whiskey on stage before intermission in the 90s.

[@parkerblair9338]

Spoke truths of the gods

[@triumphvinnie]

whoever was here at that evening, just know you witnessed one of the best live perfomances of all time.

[@ogs1mpson609]

I would’ve paid the price of admission just for the encore. That was pure ecstasy.

[@walterlippmann6292]

I was not there. in case you were wondering.

@@walterlippmann6292 yeah, me neither.

[@mmhayden007]

I was in the balcony - it was delicious

[@theshaman0283]

You can hear my mom scream when they play mutilated lips on the DVD. Both of my parents were huge Ween fans and I remember stumbling on my dads CD of The Pod when I was In 4th grade. It’s been pretty brown ever since.

[@madisonxmeadows]

I love hearing Claude go “OH NO! DEANER OH GOD!” in response to Deaner’s little improv

I'd have to say, one of the greatest songs of all time. I rank it up there with Happy Birthday, The Star Spangled Banner, ect. Still brings a tear to me eye.

[@360PoundCannon]

wtf? happy birthday

[@qweqweqweqwe40]

wtf? the star spangled banner

[@scottcrahen3654]

it was a joke. I was trying to (quickly) think of what would be a few of the most iconic songs EVER written, and those were the first 2 I came up with. So I was saying that "most iconic songs, ever - Happy birthday to you, The Star Spangle Banner, The Blarney Stone, ect."...

[@jlangbass]

Scott Crahen i get it u a funny guy i like u

[@videotrash]

I just hysterically laughed a solid minute about that Happy Birthday comparison

[@TheLarryburns84]

That time me and my stepdad, who has Irish ancestry, got really stoned together, and I played this for him and he was like "this reminds me of my people!" we were laughing our asses off when Deaner started improvising.

Ween really does everything they do well. And terrribly well.

This song perfectly captures the sentimental violence of the Irish. Everyone in the crowd looks like they're having the best night of their life.

[@danvarda9717]

It's a Ween show how can they not be having the best night of their lives.

[@jakeeverything3915]

DEAN WEEN + Claypool Delirium "Southbound Pachyderm" = fcking magic. Dean also played with Queens of the Stone Age on Mosquito Song. Because he's so fcking legit.

[@deetorjones]

best. band. ever.

[@woohoo8409]

I saw these guys in Boston supporting "The Mollusk"... wow, what a show! I knew their records some, did not expect them to be an ace live act, but they did two amazing hours straight and then a 30 minute encore finished with a full-on Spanish guitar suite leading into "Buenos Tardes Amigo." Too bad they are all done!

[@TheLarryburns84]

Not anymore! They're back!

[@tylerao]

[@RoadrunnerSp1]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ........is the only thing to say here. I've seen these guys at home here in Australia at the TIVOL in Brisbane and followed them from the beginning. They're my "Life Anthem" band and that will never change. I live for this. Loved them since Pure Guava days and am not one little bit happy about the thought of not seeing them together live again. I hope that does not happen. GO WEEN. You guys truly are something else ( especially when you get out on stage) Thanks for the favour at the Tivoli all those years ago guys......it's hanging pride of place in my lounge and will be treasured forever.

[@dwaynesbadchemicals]
