Contents

Packaged alternately as a CD with bonus DVD or a DVD with bonus CD, Live in Chicago documents two nights of a show the group did in Chicago in support of their album Quebec . The DVD features a wide variety of Ween songs, covering every Ween album except 12 Golden Country Greats and even features a cover of the Led Zeppelin song, "All My Love". Also, the DVD contains alternate camera angles for three of the performances, and a bonus music video for the song "Transdermal Celebration".

The CD, in comparison, contains fewer songs and a different track list.
