Ween’s 1994-95 Chocolate and Cheese tour is the subject of a forthcoming extensive box set. Boognish Provides will be released on October 16 by Rhino. It will collect seven full performances during the tour. In addition, a 2-LP version will offer 19 tracks drawn from all these gigs.
The seven concerts represented on Boognish Provides are as follows:
McCabe’s Guitar Shop, Santa Monica, CA (10/9/94)
The Metro, Chicago, IL (10/30/94)
First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN (10/31/94)

In conjunction with this initial announcement, a 24-minute “Vallejo” from the 40 Watt gig is now streaming. Kirk Miller, who was the sound engineer on the tour, notes “From the start, the band and crowd were hyped, and the show ended with Mickey diving over the drum kit into Claude, and the two of them rolling down the couple of stairs into the dressing room, locking the door behind them.”
