The Live Brain Wedgie!/Wad Excerpts is a mini-LP by Ween, released in 1988 on Bird o' Pray Records. It was Ween's first ever vinyl release. It was one of the last releases for the label before Ween signed to Twin/Tone Records in 1990.

The A-side (The Live Brain Wedgie!) is taken from a May 2, 1988 show in Trenton, New Jersey,[1] while the B-side (Wad Excerpts) is a collection of 4-track demos from the Wad sessions including a few tracks not on any known copies of Wad.[2]
