Ween: Live in Chicago DVD released today
Ween's first DVD release, a 2-disc set documenting
some November 2003 shows at the Vic, gets released today. Yeah, you get all the hits ("Pork Roll Egg and Cheese," "Voodoo Lady," "Doctor Rock," and so much more), but you also get the chance to look for yourself in the audience! The DVD should be available at all your favorite music stores.
