Details[edit | edit source]
The Green Lipped Mussels show, played on July 15, 1991, is notable for being the first time Ween played with Dave Dreiwitz on bass, six years before he became their permanent bassist in 1997.
The setlist included three Ween songs("Albino Sunburned Girl", "The Stallion Pt. 3", and "Tender Situation"), with the rest of the set being filled out with covers, and some original songs by Harford and Di Gesu.[2]

"Claude and Dave had known each other from the days when they were both living in New Brunswick, but Aaron and I met Dave 11 years ago when we played a show with a bunch of friends under the name "The Green Lipped Mussels", which was basically like a white version of Kool and the Gang, which also included our friends Chris Harford and Greg Digesu." -- Mickey
