Watch Videos From Ween’s Capitol Theatre Finale Including ‘Mango Woman’ Bust Out

As reported the Boognish rose for one final time in 2016 on Sunday, when Ween concluded a series of three shows at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. The 28-song performance was filled with highlights including the return of an obscurity long thought to be lost. A number of high-quality videos from Sunday’s Ween show such as the bust out recently were uploaded to YouTube, which gives us a nice taste of what went down at The Cap.
Ween began their Cap finale with a handful of “B” songs: “Buckingham Green,” “Bananas And Blow” and “Beacon Light.” Next up was “Stay Forever,” which was followed by former rarity yet 2016 staple “The Stallion Pt. 1.” The band proceeded to perform material from throughout their career over the course of the 28-song, near three-hour show. A slowed-down “Voodoo Lady” saw the group show off their improvisational chops as did the “LMYLP” finale, only the second time Ween had played the GodWeenSatan classic since reuniting.
Ever since returning in February Ween has busted out and debuted many songs from their back catalog thought to be lost forever. One such instance took place towards the end of Sunday’s main set, when Ween dusted off “Mango Woman” for what is thought to be the first time since December 9, 1992. “Mango Woman” is said to have been premiered on December 9, 1992; a show released in 2008 as At The Cat’s Cradle, 1992. The band recorded a studio version of the tune that was issued in 1993 as a b-side for the “Push th’ Little Daisies” single.
