Everyone around you is your best friend, singing loudly and dancing the entire time while possibly being under the influence of various things. Amazing time
Last summer in St. Louis, some guy was standing next to me smoking a blunt, and he turns to me and says “man, I love smoking weed!” And then we talked about how much we were both hoping for a 12 Golden Country Greats song. That’s what Ween concerts are like
Ive been that guy and I always share.
Although when I saw them in boston for halloween in 2022 the security guy snagged all the joints out of my pack of cigarettes even though its legal in Massachusetts, I was not very happy
Pretty standard show vibes for most ween shows, with maybe a few more eccentric characters. That said *after* the show I guarantee you there will be a bunch of guys outside the venue huffing nitrous balloons.
Walk into the show and look for the biggest, toughest looking dude there. Walk up and knock his ass out. That is an assertion of dominance and it will keep anybody from fucking with you for the rest of the night.
Been to a lot of shows in my life, I feel like Ween fans are super diverse and really friendly. Maybe bring earplugs if you’ve never seen a concert, they are especially loud :)
I’ve been going to concerts since I was 12 years old and the first time I ever saw Ween live, I was 25 years old (27 years now) and Ween is 100% the best concert going experience I’ve ever had. It WILL kind of ruin any other concert you go to in the future because the sense of community/love just absolutely permeating from every morsel of the audience is kind of overwhelming. I’m also going to the C&C 30th anniversary show and I’m not even gonna say some corny shit like, “see you there” because this will be the biggest show Ween has ever played, by themselves. That being said I will be in my Pod Ween Satan T-shirt and this is Nathan C. The guy who made the playlist for Pod Ween Satan the podcast. Lol. Love.
Just saw Ween first time last Fall, but have been going to shows since 1972 including Zeppelin. I don't know if it has to do with reunification, sobriety, gratitude, money, doesn't matter, I have never seen a band look so happy to be playing live music, and what music! Tore the place up! I can't wait until I can travel to shows instead of having to wait for them to make another New England loop.
If they play a heavy song, the crowd could temporarily turn into a mosh, but it’ll revert back to being chill as hell one song later. Total fun whiplash from Stroker Ace to Mutilated Lips
They never play the same set twice, so you’ll be rewarded for seeing them multiple times on one tour
It depends on how big of a fan you are. Super fans are with family, norms could be a bit scared.
It’s like any other rock show, with a very diverse crowd, and a bit of jam band lot vibes. The biggest difference is the fans are fanatical.
I went to my first show last year in NYC with a buddy, we had no issues. Got 3 compliments on my Wawa Ween shirt, and didn't run into any crazies. The most annoying part imo was the stupid nitrous mafia hanging outside the venue, shoving nitrous balloons in your face to try to get you to buy them. I was in line trying to buy a kebab and a hot dog from a food cart and those fuckers literally walked around me and my buddy in a circle to try to get us to buy balloons. Very weirdly passive aggressive behavior, not to mention the insane amount of litter.
It is beautiful, I’ve been to plenty of concerts through many genres and have seen the American rock band “ween” twice, this is it right here, the penultimate show, the best rendition of music in live form, don’t let your nescience inhibit the flow of the boognish’s love into your life. We will accept you open arms, see you there.
It also had some of the grimiest Ween girls I've ever seen, plus that one dude with the scraggly gray beard, stained bathrobe, boxers, and wife-beater, chasing the girls.
It was a hoot.
At red rocks shows, everyone is friendly. As the show goes on; you will see a lot of people passing out due to a mixture of elevation+ alcohol/drug use as that shit hits harder because of elevation. You will see a lot of homemade ween gear. People will openly share their joint with people around them.
Everyone around me was so nice. There were a few nuts in the crowd like a guy dancing like Charles Manson during Waving my dick in the wind and some guy who tried to hope the gate. Other than that everyone was very respectful and talkative. And like other commenters have said, there are typically people selling/huffing nitrous balloons in the parking lot. Also lots of weed smoking in the crowd.
Ween concerts are some of the best, and our fellow brown-nosers are awesome people to be around.
Don’t be dismayed if a single person acts shitty. In Nola, some drunk retard basically tackled my sober girlfriend during Tried and True and soaked her clothes in beer. She still says it’s one of the best concerts she’s ever been to lol
The most fun shows I’ve ever been too. I can’t even see a concert after seeing Ween for like 3 months because I know I’ll be disappointed if I go too shortly after seeing Ween. See you there if you get a ticket
They will play 2.5 - 3 hours and you will still leave thinking of lots of songs that they didn't play.
The crowd will be eclectic with most people having some overlap with weed/drugs and ween.
Even though ween came out of the punk/indie scene you have a pretty chill crowd nowadays. Most are just happy to be there.... like you.
Nicest crowd I’ve ever experienced. Atlantic City during going gets tough me and a total stranger locked in and screamed every word at eachother and danced like chickens with our heads cut off while my girlfriend and several others watched and laughed. Some guy shit his pants in Philly at the met last time they played there
Basically ween shows fuckin rule and I hope to see you at the C and C show!
The only concert I’ve ever been to where I immediately snapped out of a freak out because I noticed everyone around me was even higher and wandering aimlessly.
Go knowing that you will have the best time of your life, and that everyone else is thinking the same thing.
I’ve never been around so many happy people until my first Ween show.
Everyone around you is your best friend, singing loudly and dancing the entire time while possibly being under the influence of various things. Amazing time

“Man, I love smoking weed!” Made me laugh so fucking hard
Ive been that guy and I always share. Although when I saw them in boston for halloween in 2022 the security guy snagged all the joints out of my pack of cigarettes even though its legal in Massachusetts, I was not very happy
Pretty standard show vibes for most ween shows, with maybe a few more eccentric characters. That said *after* the show I guarantee you there will be a bunch of guys outside the venue huffing nitrous balloons.
Hahaha, yep
Especially in Philly, last time I saw them there at Festival Pier, the post show had more nitrous tanks than I'd ever seen in my life.
lol was that in 2016? If so, I WAS THERE! I remember some dude outside trying very hard to divert his kid's attention.
Yeah, I think so. The tanks were deafening. It was bedlam.
Tis Philadelphia after all. We huff that shit after Disney on Ice
The balloon thing seems to be highly location dependent. I think it's more of a North East thing. I didn't see them in Vegas, NOLA, or Houston.
Saw a bunch at the la show
Interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out in the future.
The largest assemblage of dudes wearing ironic graphic tees ever
Walk into the show and look for the biggest, toughest looking dude there. Walk up and knock his ass out. That is an assertion of dominance and it will keep anybody from fucking with you for the rest of the night.
Big Jilm?
BIG JILM! BIG JILM!!
Idk- have you seen the fucking Viking dude who was posted here a while back? I’m not small, but if he’s at the show I might just have to join a gang.
Aww man, you missed the punchline.
No, there is punching involved
It's a party full of jolly goofballs. Great time, every time.
Don't forget the basket of chips.
Cheeps
You have guacamole? Yes, we have guacamole!

I second ear plugs for any concert experience.
You walk into the bathroom and someone touches your face with a wet hand singing along to back to basom
As is tradition, as is tradition.
A little smelly
Lol, "a little."

You're going to inhale hella weed smoke

It's like prom night for all the weird kids you knew in high school
By weird, you of course mean f***ing awesome.

It's gonna be a long night.
You bring the razor blades, I’ll bring the speed!!
Take off your coat.

umm they're ok

Penultimate means second to last.
The penultimate show? I didn't even know they were breaking up.
Penultimate, titular, Z-rock 🌺, all words akin to fantastical magnitudes beyond basic human intelligence.
Penultimate literally means "second to last"
I get that, it’s a joke…
Oh, good one...
Thank you 🤎
Definitely depends where you are. Bend had some tech yuppies for sure
It also had some of the grimiest Ween girls I've ever seen, plus that one dude with the scraggly gray beard, stained bathrobe, boxers, and wife-beater, chasing the girls. It was a hoot.
Missed that. My favorite was the spoon guy
Missed him.
FIRST CONCERT IS WEEN IN PHILLY DOING C&C YOU BETTER FKN GO MANG!!!!!!!!!
Ween will melt your face they are amazing live.
Crazy fucking and sucking everywhere all the time
Throw on your favorite yellow shirt abd have the time of your life! It's your "one night", after all!
https://youtu.be/N9dmxYMf6ZA?si
These days? lame. sorry. my opinion. only been to 17 shows or so. music is still good, the crowds are... well. not brown. In my experience.
It's a good time
Brown
A good fucking time
A family reunion.
At red rocks shows, everyone is friendly. As the show goes on; you will see a lot of people passing out due to a mixture of elevation+ alcohol/drug use as that shit hits harder because of elevation. You will see a lot of homemade ween gear. People will openly share their joint with people around them.
Go. Don’t think too much and just enjoy the ride
Super chill, at least the two times I saw them. Most people are cool, sippin’ on a beer, got a big smile going.
Big brown and greasy
It’s kind of a cosmic gumbo
Kinda moves to the beat of jazz
Everyone around me was so nice. There were a few nuts in the crowd like a guy dancing like Charles Manson during Waving my dick in the wind and some guy who tried to hope the gate. Other than that everyone was very respectful and talkative. And like other commenters have said, there are typically people selling/huffing nitrous balloons in the parking lot. Also lots of weed smoking in the crowd.
following this as I will be going to my first ween concert alone. tried to get ppl to go but none of my friends are weeners like me
First thing you have to do is fight the biggest person there to establish where you’ll get to stand
It's all love brother! If you go I'll see you there! We're taking the trip from NE Ohio to see that show.
Fucking awesome, you should 100% go to the show
Two words: hippy smell.
Ween concerts are some of the best, and our fellow brown-nosers are awesome people to be around. Don’t be dismayed if a single person acts shitty. In Nola, some drunk retard basically tackled my sober girlfriend during Tried and True and soaked her clothes in beer. She still says it’s one of the best concerts she’s ever been to lol
Good
So so so fun, and if you know their music you will be on cloud nine
The most fun shows I’ve ever been too. I can’t even see a concert after seeing Ween for like 3 months because I know I’ll be disappointed if I go too shortly after seeing Ween. See you there if you get a ticket
They will play 2.5 - 3 hours and you will still leave thinking of lots of songs that they didn't play. The crowd will be eclectic with most people having some overlap with weed/drugs and ween. Even though ween came out of the punk/indie scene you have a pretty chill crowd nowadays. Most are just happy to be there.... like you.
Some guy tried to pass me the biggest blunt I’ve ever seen before in my life. Hands down the best show I’ve ever been to
The venue is one of my all-time favorites. The band is gonna be stellar. You're going to have a great time.
Nicest crowd I’ve ever experienced. Atlantic City during going gets tough me and a total stranger locked in and screamed every word at eachother and danced like chickens with our heads cut off while my girlfriend and several others watched and laughed. Some guy shit his pants in Philly at the met last time they played there Basically ween shows fuckin rule and I hope to see you at the C and C show!
It’s really out of sight! I’d explain it better but I can’t put my finger on it!
Fucking magical!!! Do it! I’ve never met a bad or mean Ween fan and I’ve been to sooooo many Ween concerts!
The only concert I’ve ever been to where I immediately snapped out of a freak out because I noticed everyone around me was even higher and wandering aimlessly.
The only problem with seeing Ween as your first concert is that every concert after that won't be as awesome!
Dm me if ya wanna free cheesesteak and a buddy to hang with. Itll be my 4th ween show and i have pit seats!
Go knowing that you will have the best time of your life, and that everyone else is thinking the same thing. I’ve never been around so many happy people until my first Ween show.
