Box Set Details

Tour Tracks
Each show boasts over a dozen tracks from their now-classic Chocolate and Cheese, as well as favorites from both their past and future (like White Pepper ’s “Flutes of Chi” and The Mollusk ’s “The Blarney Stone”) albums.
Additional Release
Ahead of the arrival of Boognish Provides — which will also be released as a 2LP vinyl featuring highlights from across the seven shows — Ween have shared a 24-minute rendition of their metal freakout “Vallejo” from Athens, Georgia's 40 Watt Club.
