Ouch…thanks for the review and wish I could have made it to support the deaner
That ottobar show was definitely not going through the motions, they looked like they were having a blast
I would have liked it more if Guy wasn't there though
I was really surprised that 9:30 picked them up too for this show
must have pulled a favor with seth…who I'm sure looking at the nights recipts is regretting that decision
(Aug was a pretty slow month for the club I noticed)
do love some Big Jilm though

They played pretty much all of the really heavy Ween that you'd expect Deaner to play as well as some other choice classic Ween tunes but you could tell they were completely going through the motions. It was pretty similar to the show with Guy Heller but with more Ween tunes.
Glenn for whatever reason didn't show up (and it wasn't acknowledged), so there were no keys. Claude seriously looked angry to be there the entire evening. There were no hijinx, no one getting drunk on stage, and in general a pretty depressed undertone to the evening. As expected, Deaner's amp blew out at some point during the show and he mentioned a few times that he was just getting over food poisoning. I thought maybe he'd ask for some cash to fix the amp?
In all my years of going to the club, I've never seen it that empty. I bet there were 100/150 people there max and I'm sure that didn't help the energy for the evening. They walked out on stage and it was basically **crickets** and a few dudes yelling for Deaner. Just weird… All I could think about was a decade ago you couldn't move in that place seeing these guys and now they're a bit of an embarrassment. The entire upstairs was empty.
It was a bit of a let down and any of the Gener shows I've seen post break up have been better (at least in my opinion).
I doubt they'll ever roll back through DC after last night.

well guess Glenn McClelland is no longer in the DWG
Now seems like as good of a time as any to announce that our new keyboard player is Harry Waters, and yes, he is the son of Roger Waters and plays in his father's band as well as doing a million other gigs. I didn't choose him based on his family tree, but for his skills as a keyboard player and he's absolutely a bad motherfucker where that's concerned. We just completed a few days of rehearsal for the upcoming tour and we even did a small preview set at John and Peter's tonight. It's so exciting–it gave me the opportunity to revisit some older/ never been played before songs, and more importantly, a fresh approach to songs we've played a lot, but with the keyboard sounds more loyal to the album versions. It has been quite the kick in the ass that I didn't even know I needed. Super nice dude, incredible player, I can't wait to take this to the stage. Remember this post–it has me rejuvenated like a first time musician and I am chomping at the bit for you all to hear what we're doing. Harry is one of the biggest Ween fans I've ever met as well—he knows all of the songs!

seriously? Roger Waters' son in the band formerly known as Ween? WTF… doesn't exactly sound like he'd bring the party vibe..
Anyone know what happened to Glenn.. he's been in the band since like 1995!

My guess is he's over 50 and tired of being in a bar band/broke.
