Ween Live at the Cat's Cradle offers the early 90s Ween experience, a stripped down but nonetheless powerful set of Gene and Dean. The audio sounds pretty good considering some of the ragged live bootlegs of shows I have heard from the same era. The folksy absurda of Genes lyrics and melodies combined with Deans full tilt distortion happy guitar makes some of the songs you have heard shine like never before (captain fantasy, Demon Sweat). Rarely heard live tunes like Nan, Mango Woman and others are vital pieces of the Ween puzzle, and early versions of Buckingham Green, a soulful and mild Bday Boy, and a crushing reggaejunkiejew make the CD portion absolutely essential for any completist. The DVD is a perfect companion piece with its terrific 17 cuts of live Ween, audio here is a bit murky as well as the video but it only adds to the sheer browness of the package, as do the tunes like boing and mountain dew. A completely different animal than the Ween you will see on the Live at the Vic DVD/CD. This CD/DVD set gives us the rude, raw audacious DAT drumming Ween that for many of us is the "real" Ween. PLAY IT LOUUUUUUUD.......

At the Cat's Cradle captures Ween live in December 1992 as the original two-man band backed by a tape deck containing drums and bass. It seems crazy that just two guys can pull this off, but as Ween fans know Gene and Dean did it for years before gathering a full "real" band. The DVD is so cool - it's footage from multiple concerts and some studio stuff - so much fun to see. Very homemade and raw, this is excellent audio and video documents of Ween near the end of their days as a duo. Highly recommended!

At the Cat's Cradle, 1992 is awesome... It's a great early show - just Gener and Deaner, plus great video footage on the bonus DVD. Listening to this CD made me realize just how genuinely talented these boys are, and how their raw talent preceeded their musical abilities... A "musthave" for any Ween fan.
