It perhaps goes without saying that an album recorded for the online radio show All Request Live is one for the fans - that's who knows an artist's catalog well enough to pull out obscurities that never get played in concert. Still, Ween fans are both a devoted and perverse lot, so this All Request Live - available via their site on the internet - is filled with the odd choices even for the diehards, such as every segment of their on-going multi-part epic &The Stallion,& or the gnarled, nasty obscurity &Cover It With Gas and Set It On Fire,& or their rejected Pizza Hut jingle &Where'd the Cheese Go?& here turned into a lengthy funk jam, reminiscent of nothing less than Prince's The Black Album. This is neither the hits, nor is it the weirdest tunes in their catalog: it's just the stuff the diehards love, performed with professional panache from the boys in Ween, who deliver surprises that are subtle, not shocking, such as recreating the drive-in dialogue on &Pollo Asado.& So, it's precisely the kind of record that diehards will love, but it's not quite as loveable as other limited-edition live Ween albums: despite the odd choices, it's not as monumental as the Live at Stubbs show, nor as maverick as Live with the Shit Creek Boys, it's merely a good, solid show from a band who, at this point, are rarely less than pretty terrific.
