Song Details[edit | edit source]

Recording and Composition[edit | edit source]

"The Concert Is Over" is a soft jazz-rock song in the key of F major.

"The Concert Is Over" was written during the creative process for Chocolate and Cheese, intended as a counterpart to the album-opening "Take Me Away", with Gene Ween doing a similar crooner-style voice, but with a slower feel to end the album. A studio recording was begun during the Chocolate and Cheese sessions but never finished. However, the song was played live the same day it was written, on September 29th, 1993, and a demo version from the same year exists that first entered fan circulation in August 2024.

Live Performances[edit | edit source]

After its debut, Ween continued to play the song live as a set closer a number of times, mostly on the Chocolate and Cheese tour.[1] They have not played it live since 2001.[2]
