Dreaming of Buckingham Green

My appreciation of music with low fidelity and videos lacking in production quality has greatly increased since I started listening to Ween. In the same way sweet leaf introduced Ozzy to his mind, the brownness of Ween exposed me to the appeal of raw creativity.

François Truffaut famously said "I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between." Applying this quote to music, I think the lack of production value often helps express the joy of performing music. In the absence of production value is a particular rawness that helps you connect to music on an emotional level. 

A perfect illustration of said rawness can be seen in Ween's 1997 performance of Buckingham Green on public access television. The video is the epitome of imperfect, and yet it could not be better at expressing the joy of performing music. Enjoy:
