The famous Keith Jacobs and Scott Cimini went on a 2 day mini-vacation this week to see the band WEEN perform 2 concerts in 2 nights. The first show was in South Burlington, VT (home of Ben and Jerry's Icecream and Magichat Brewing Co). The weather was raw with a steady rain falling with the temps in the upper 30's. Luckily our hotel room was very close to the show and only required a short walk. The higher ground was a pretty nice place with ample space and several bars located throughout the place. Ween played for about 2 1/2 hours and had an awesome setlist that included songs such as "with my own bare hands" and "woman and man". An overall outstanding show with plenty of pictures and movies taken.
The following day Keith and Scott headed to the Ben and Jerry's Factory for a short tour and free icecream! The tour was very fun and "mooooving". Later in the day, heading towards our next destination of Northampton, MA, we stopped at the Long Trail brewing company for a burger and beverage. I had a fresh glass of Long Trail Blackberry Wheat before heading to Massachusetts for the 2nd show in 2 nights.
The Calvin theater hosted the 2nd show in 2 days for us. It was a huge venue with lots of seating and space up in front of the stage. Ween played a great assortment of hits including a rarely played "Beacon Light" and a cover of motorhead's "Ace of Spades". They also played "Friends", one of their newest songs from their new album for the first time ever live.
Overall it was a lot of fun and ween shows are always awesome! Feel free to browse through the photos and videos.
