July 25, 2001 Weenradio.com broadcast
The July 25, 2001 Weenradio.com broadcast was an event hosted on the fanmade, officially-sanctioned Weenradio.com website. The event was hosted by Dean Ween, who played various unreleased Ween outtakes, demos, and live recordings. The event took place July 25, 2001 at 11:00pm EST on the Weenradio.com website, with live chat coverage on Weenradio's chat, including fansites ween.net and ween.org, along with the official Ween website.[1]
In 2018, the event gained a resurgence of curiosity amongst Ween fans, as this event broadcasted several snippets of music that have never circulated in any form, and only are known in the form of vague information about each track from old Ween websites. Although a couple of tracks would either be officially released or leaked later on, the entire broadcast has yet to resurface, and is currently considered lost media.
Track Listing[edit | edit source]
This track listing is officially confirmed - a setlist was posted on the ween.net forum by a user named "goat", a.k.a. Goatman, the owner of Weenradio.com, after it ended.[2] Goat also posted an announcement for the show before it started.[3] Previously the only known source of the tracklist was a recollection from an alt.music.ween user from the night the broadcast premiered which, it turns out, was copy-pasted from goat's forum post[4]
