Sunday Cinema | Ween In Central Park 2010

For many NYC area Ween fans the New Hope, PA-based band’s September 17, 2010 show at Summer Stage in Central Park will stand as the last time they saw their beloved purveyors of brown unless a reunion ever happens. I’m (ScottyB) one of those Ween fans whose last show was at Summer Stage and was thrilled to come across an exceptional fan-shot video of the entire performance.

Deaner, Gener, Glenn, Dave and Claude were in fine form on that gorgeous night in the middle of the landmark park. Despite a strict 10 p.m. curfew, Ween rolled through 33 originals from throughout their career at Summer Stage as well as a fun cover of David Bowie’s “Let Dance.” Many songs turned into singalongs thanks to a crowd that seemed filled with diehards. It was if the more rare the tune was, the more the crowd expressed its appreciation. It’s a night I’ll never forget and thanks to noochnooch I can re-live it whenever I want thanks to the crispy video with taper Mike Salvo’s audio that’s up on YouTube.
