Amazing live performance
nbegley20 December 2005
This is one of the finest live concert recordings I've ever seen as far as selection of music, quality of video, and shot selection goes. The concert contains all the usual songs you'd expect out of a major release from the Ween brothers, including Ocean Man, Transdermal Celebration, and Roses are Free, along with less popular songs that aren't as common in live performances, such as Spinal Meningitis Got me Down, Don't Laugh(I Love You), and a cover of Led Zeppelin's All My Love, among many others.

The shots are perfectly timed in a way rivaled by few other live DVDs. The camera cuts to Deaner's fantastic finger work during his solo's and alternates smoothly between members of the band and the crowd. The video and, more importantly, audio quality of the DVD is superb giving studio quality recordings.

Overall, probably one of the finest concert DVDs out there, a must see for any Ween fan, casual or hardcore.

What's better than listening to Ween? Listening to Ween live!

There is no question that Ween boasts one of the best live concerts around, simply because no two concerts are the same. Over the years some of Ween's best songs have been re-invented in their live shows, adding different instruments and they've really taken the time to perfect them. The set list for this DVD falls nothing short of Ween's best. They play something from every album, which is nice considering this was made around the time "Quebec" was released, in which any other band would only plug their new stuff. Hook this DVD up to a nice surround sound system, and between the dazzling lights and kick ass camera angles it feels like you're actually at a Ween concert, without the hassle of the smell. A necessity for any Ween fan, and a perfect addition to any DVD collection, this enjoyable masterpiece insures countless viewings, and a very brown time.

Boognish rocks on forever!
DVDA_CHICK_1921 December 2004
Any fan of Ween should check this DVD out... even if you don't know who the beautiful Boognish Brothers are, you should check them out NOW. Ween always puts on the best performances, but this show is seriously going to be rockin anyones socks off! It picks up right in the beginning with "Buckingham Green" and ends with a grand finale of "The Blarney Stone" ... this DVD just keeps you grooving the whole time and makes you feel like your really there ... and Deaners guitar solos are off the wall amazing it's totally killer. There are only a few bonus features... not many, I think there should of been some interviews at least or something... but the whole show is enough in the package... believe me, it's so worth buying. The DVD also comes with a CD with a bunch of live rad songs from the show... Ween continues to rock... VIVA LA BOOGNISH!
