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 three consecutive nights (November 7/8/9, 2003) 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.

DVD Tracklist[edit | edit source]

All songs were recorded on 11/7, 11/8, and 11/9/2003 at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, IL. When a song was played on multiple nights, it is not known which version was used for the album, since taping was not permitted at these shows.[1][2][3]
