Ween Promises 31 Songs a Night With No Repeats for 3-Day Reunion Show

The Rolling Stones, The Who and Paul McCartney all have massive discographies to draw from on their respective tours, but even they can only memorize so many songs, usually around 25 or 30 tunes, max. But for the cult-classic band Ween, that's mere child's play as the reuniting band is promising a weekend of at least 94 songs with no repeats - and that's not including fan suggestions.

The group, fronted by Aaron "Gene Ween" Freeman and Mickey "Dean Ween" Melchiondo Jr., is kicking of its return from a four year hiatus with a three-night residency at Broomfield, Colorado's 1stBank Center, playing the groups unrivaled brand of comedic alternative rock.

According to Echobase, Melchiondo made the announcement on the Ween Appreciation Society Facebook page saying "I count 94 songs with no repeats taken into consideration ... and we're off."

Over three nights, that means fans can expect a minimum of 31 songs a night, plus request songs. But fans on the page seemed a little confused for some reason, so Melchiondo clarified by posting "We always take requests! My point was that with the requests we will easily best 100 tunes."

So the uber Ween fan out there who is seeing all three nights Feb. 12 to 14 is in for quite the joyous weekend. But, it remains to see if the group can execute that promise. That kind of set requires a ton of rehearsal and quite the delv into the band's back catalog, unless they are including a ton of covers (which presents its own host of problems). But Ween has had four years to practice so surely it'll be flawless.

The band is performing another three-night residency from April 14 to 16 at New York's Terminal 5, so hopefully east coast fans can join in on the fun. Ween also recently announced appearances at Austin's Levitation Festival and Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.
