On the Presidents Day weekend of 2016 (February 12th - 14th), Ween performed three sold out shows at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado. Their last performance as a band was here in Colorado at the Fillmore Auditorium on December 29th, 30th, and 31st of 2011. Thereafter was a long hiatus for Ween, while the members were doing their solo projects. These shows at the 1st Bank Center were the first Ween shows since that hiatus. And they are also scheduled to perform at Bonnaroo this year as well as some shows in New York City. Without a doubt, Ween has returned in a triumphant manner. They moved through their sets with a serious focus - not in a race or anything like that, but more like it was genuine passion that had momentum to it. They also seemed to enjoy playing music and performing with one another onstage again.
Justin Hampton did the poster artwork for the three nights (and a collaboration with Jermaine Rogers on the third poster for Valentine's Day). The merch line was epic in-and-of-itself, and the posters sold-out. Outrageously-priced (flipped) posters were being placed on eBay on the second day of the three day event. On a personal note, thank you to Casey Williamson for making this concert weekend a reality.
You can download audio files for all three nights on etree: Friday 02/12/2016, Saturday 02/13/2016, Sunday 02/14/2016.
Thank you to Scott Schneider for recording these shows! February 12th, 2016 - Broomfield, Colorado
