Songs Performed[edit | edit source]

Due to this tour being particularly undocumented, information on the regular songs is unknown beyond 12 available setlists of varying completion.

Obviously, the tour featured many songs from the GodWeenSatan album, in particular, 'Bumblebee,' 'Fat Lenny,' 'Marble Tulip Juicy Tree,' 'Papa Zit' & 'You Fucked Up,' appear throughout the tour's three legs.

Since The Pod had already been recorded by the time of the tour's debut, several songs from those sessions were performed, noticeably a fast version of 'Boing' and a slightly longer version of 'Captain Fantasy' with a slow intro. Othe examples include songs ultimately rejected from the album's final track listing; 'Mr. Mocha,' 'Tastes Good on th' Bun,' 'The Wind,' 'Weed Whore' & 'Witch's Tit.' Outside of The Pod, Ween also roadtested several other newly written songs, many of which would later appear on Pure Guava. These include 'Big Jilm,' 'Cover It With Gas and Set It on Fire,' 'Puerto Rican Power,' 'Push th' Little Daisies,' 'Sarah,' 'Seconds,' 'Tender Situation' & 'The Goin' Gets Tough From the Getgo.' They also covered songs such as 'Mountain Dew,' 'Purple Rain,' 'The Star-Spangled Banner' & 'Where Do the Children Play?'

Since The Pod had been recorded two months before the debut of the tour, several Pod songs had their public debut on the GodWeenSatan tour. The group also began working on Pure Guava around this time, so some songs from that were also premiered here.
