Ep. 54: 6/30/2023 The Peach Music Festival, Scranton, PA

Ween Cast

Head north young men!! Well, not quite that far north... but yes, again!! Ween joins the lineup for the 11th annual Peach Music Festival at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and yes, we had to be there. But wait a minute, a Jam band festival? Really? Does this mean the band has finally taken on the moniker of "Jam Band"?

The anticipation was absolutely ridiculous leading up to this show. What would the band play? Would they finally just unleash the full power of Reggae Junkie Jew or LMYLP and slay all of the straights who may not be aware of the true power of the brown? Or perhaps the opposite? Not knowing who would be receptive to the music of a demon god, would the band play it safe and stick to a Tried and True path (pun intended)?

In any case, being the headliner of Friday night of the Peach Festival is an honor. Ween wielded the reigns of the weekend along with the likes of Goose, Ziggy Marley, My Morning Jacket, Mike Gordon of Phish, and brother to the band, Les Claypool. Yeah, things were looking good for hippies of all walks of life.

Go north with Weencast, leave your notions of what is and what is not a "jam band" at the door, and find out how Ween handled being in the driver's seat for Friday night. See if the Boognish could literally start a fire on this mountain.
