Back in 1996, two HT faves combined forces when Ween opened a run of shows for Foo Fighters. Our friends at Concert Confessions recently came across this fantastic clip of Deaner and Gener, who were playing with just a tape recorder as accompaniment during their set, guesting with Grohl and his band on Freedom of ’76 from a May 2nd, 1996 performance at the Hollywood Palladium…

Foo Fighters with Ween – Freedom of ’76

After the tune, Dave Grohl espouses his love of Ween and tells the crowd, “we don’t have any songs that are as good as that, so we had to ask them to help us out with our set.” He finishes by saying, “I’d give my left leg to write a song as pretty as Freedom of ’76.”
