Review - :
The first in a projected series of {^Dick's Picks}-styled archival live recordings on {$Ween}'s own {@Chocodog} label, {^Live in Toronto Canada} documents an October 23, 1996, date in support of the now-classic {^12 Golden Country Greats}. Backed by {$the Shit Creek Boys} -- a group of veteran Nashville session men led by pianist {$Bobby Ogdin} -- the tour in question was perhaps the apotheosis of the live {$Ween} experience: {$Ogdin}'s countrified arrangements breathed new life into chestnuts like {&"Doctor Rock"} and {&"What Deaner Was Talkin' About,"} and the Jack Daniels-fueled interplay between {$Deaner} and {$Gener} with the aging Nashville cats was pure magic. (As {$Deaner}'s liner notes point out, "The 8-piece band sounded like a 747 landing on your house.") Far more effective in capturing the life-altering genius of the {$Ween} live show than the earlier {^Paintin' the Town Brown} collection, the disc divides evenly between {^12 Golden Country Greats Material} (including {&"Japanese Cowboy"} complete with {&"Chariots of Fire"} coda and an epic set-closing {&"Fluffy"}) and fan favorites (i.e., {&"Push th' Little Daisies"} and {&"Buenas Tardes Amigo"}), culminating in a rendition of {$Billy Joel}'s {&"Piano Man"} complete with the new chorus, "Sing us a song, you're the piano man/Put some coke on my dick tonight." F*ck yeah. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
