Ween announce Boognish Provides, a new box set of previously unreleased concerts from their 1994–95 Chocolate and Cheese tour. The release, from Rhino, features seven full shows and is scheduled for October 16. A separate condensed edition on 2-LP is also planned alongside the main 14-CD set.
The outlets describe the concerts as capturing the band during a transition period. During this tour, Gene and Dean Ween are touring with a full backing band rather than as a duo, marking a notable shift in their live setup. Stereogum adds details on the lineup, including bassist Andrew Weiss and drummer Claude Coleman. Rolling Stone similarly emphasizes that these shows reflect the duo’s first time performing with a backing band.
While both sources focus on the archive nature of the release and the timing of its debut, they differ mainly in the amount of lineup detail provided.
