Live in Chicago is a live album by Ween, released on May 4, 2004 on Sanctuary Records.
Description and History[edit | edit source]
The album is made up of highlights from two nights (November 8 & 9, 2003; the band also performed on the 7th but this night was not recorded according to the DVD cover) at The Vic Theatre in Chicago, Illinois during the Quebec tour. The album came with a DVD and CD packaged together; the DVD is the more complete version, as the CD is abridged to fit the running time of a single CD.
The performances feature the modern Ween live lineup, including Claude Coleman, Jr., Dave Dreiwitz, and Glenn McClelland.
