Includes liner notes by Dean Ween.\u003cbr\u003eAudio Mixer: Kirk Miller .\u003cbr\u003eLiner Note Author: Dean Ween.\u003cbr\u003eEditor: Greg Frey.\u003cbr\u003eThere is very little middle ground with Ween: either you like what they do, or you don't. On the one hand the band's incessant jokes are clearly constructed to create a certain effect and are often quite funny. On the other hand, listening to them occasionally makes the listener feel like the only one at the party who is not chemically altered.\u003cbr\u003eOn this double live CD, most of Ween's songs fall into one of two camps: they are either elaborately stylized jokes (\"Ode to Rene\" or \"Mister Richard Smoker\") or drug-induced noise fests (\"Mushroom Festival in Hell,\" \"Bumblebee,\" or \"Awesome Sound\"). This collection's standouts are \"Japanese Cowboy,\" a pretty obvious, \"nudge-nudge-aren't-we-clever\" neo-country song that they acknowledge lifts the melody of \"Chariots of Fire\" (so much so that they even tack on a coda covering the Vangelis original) and the Kiss-influenced \"Doctor Rock,\" an archly delivered rock pastiche that continually threatens to derail. The 30-minute, hyper-kinetic version of the south-of-the-border, percussion-driven theme song, \"Vallejo,\" full of burnt-out guitar effects and feedback, is noteworthy too. Also included, for those inclined, is a 26-minute rendition of the ambient\/metal \"Poopship Destroyer.\"","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52312729256223,"sku":"011661908727","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/1ab5103451cf699cc3dd1146fb87a502_0ca69361-1c7e-480f-821f-cc8f4b780605.jpg?v=1777891885","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/paintin-the-town-brown-ween-live-90-98","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
