About this song
- "The Stallion Pt. 3" is a song by Ween from the 1992 album Pure Guava. It is the third installment in the "Stallion" pentalogy. Recording and Composition "The Stallion Pt. 3" is a psychedelic rock song with art and jangle pop elements. Due to tape speed manipulation, the studio version is in the key of C# major, with live performances transposing it down to C major. The lead vocals are sung by Gene Ween. It is also thought that the guitar solo at the end is played by Gene, as he usually performs it live. Live Performances Ween played "The Stallion Pt. 3" live as early as July 1991, at an informal show with friends billed as "Green Lipped Mussels". Notably, this was even before the release of Parts 1 and 2 on The Pod. After Ween formally debuted "The Stallion Pt. 3" in early 1993, it immediately became one of the most common live Ween songs, and has remained so ever since. They even reworked it with the country band for the 1996 country tour. In addition, Gene Ween has frequently played the song at solo shows. "The Stallion Pt. 3" is by far the most commonly played live song of the "Stallion" pentalogy. Two live recordings have been officially released: a version from the White Pepper tour on 7/7/2000 is on Live at Stubb's, and a semi-live sound studio version from 7/22/2003 is on All Request Live. .
